Don't think I could find something to nit pick or complain about even if I tried.
Used to come to this area on vacation during summer breaks with my family when i was a kid. This was one of my favorite stays ever. If Mike would have us back again in the future, we'll definitely be back. We all loved everything about this stay. Thank you!

Favorite getaway!
Our BFFs three night stay was great! The three of us have decided that this three bedroom, three bath room lake house is our ideal gathering place. It is always well stocked, clean, cozy, and centrally located between the three of us. Mike is a great host, and we will be returning again next Fall.

Shafer Lakehouse
Enjoyable relaxing getaway. The house had everything we needed for our 3 day 4 night stay. We definitely overpacked. We had 12 of us and had plenty of room for everyone. Our host, Mike was readily available for all of our questions. This was a much needed and wonderful family getaway.

Favorite spot!
This property is exactly as advertised. We have stayed here twice now. The dock is a great spot to swim and fish. The kids loved the outdoor projector. We love that Mike supplies firewood. A lot less to pack and pay for. Plenty of sleeping for large parties. Mike is very friendly and accommodating. We loved every minute of our stay and will be back!

Family Lake Vacation with Boating/Skiing
This property worked well with our family group of 10. We had 5 adults; 4 teens and 1 10-year-old. 3 bedrooms for the adults; the media room with flexible futons for the teen girls; and another room with futons for the 2 guys (1 teen and 1 10-yr-old). We set up a folding table in the open kitchen for more dining space. The 3 bathrooms were great with plenty of towels for daily showers and plenty of hot water! Outdoor space was great with 2 docks, boat ramp, fire pit and much more. My husband's grandparents had a cottage on Lake Shafer when he was growing up and this place helped us create the same kind of memory-making opportunity in 2024 that my hubby had when he was a kid. We spent 1 day at Indiana Beach Amusement Park and would highly recommend! The host was very attentive and was quick to respond to questions. It was a great stay... and we would seriously consider a return visit!

Enjoyable 3rd visit
Great location, lots of space, and friendly owner. The previous times we visited, a few household things were't working, but we had fun. This last visit, the carpet areas were dirty, bathroom floor in lake bedroom wasn't clean, and bedroom next to garage smelled of cigarette smoke. The love seat recliner is broken on the left side, and the king size bed caves in on the side next to the door. It's a great place, just needs some updated furniture and a deep cleaning.

Great family fun!
We brought way too much, not knowing what might be available on site. Everything we might have needed was there already! Fully equipped kitchen, linens, towels, compressor for inflatables, etc. Could have left half the truck at home and been fine. Vintagey lakehouse vibe combined with modern conveniences; very fun. Easy drive to Indiana Beach and groceries makes lazy days lounging in the water off the dock and watching the kids swim, simple. All round good experience for everyone. Already planning next year!

Crazy but fun
Well this is the Midwest and it was spring during my trip so some storms knocked out our power for 24 hours, but we still nanaged to make it work. There is no generator so we were without heat as well. We did use the grill which the owner, Mike was very nice and pulked out and set up for us! He was very prompt about answering calls and texts.

Great, hospitable, family lake house.
The perfect lake stay. The boat ramp and boat lift on site made for a super easy boating experience. The house is decorated in a relaxed style which is very user friendly. You can tell the owners have enjoyed their many years here and want you to sample their place. Dock for the kids to swim off of and also fish. The river is very clean and you can even see down into it three or four feet. I can not say enough about Indiana Beach's amusement park. It's like a step back in time to the old school parks. You can even take your boat from the property down to the park and dock there. I wanted to schedule next summers stay but they were pretty much all booked up. We will be staying here summer 2025. Thanks for the memories Mike

Host is GREAT but the property needs help
The host was wonderful, very communicative and willing to help when needed. And the property itself has a lot of great amenities but really needs a DEEP cleaning and better maintenence. We knew going into it that the house wasn't up to date with the latest fixtures and decor, that wasn't a problem. But we were expecting it to at least be clean and everything to be in working order. The oven wouldn't get up to temp, the ice/water dispenser in the fridge didn't work half the time and when you open the freezer, ice chips would rain out all over the kitchen floor, the outdoor gas grill didn't work well (but host did come over and fix it so that was nice), the indoor theater didn't work at first (but host did also come fix this), and one of the reclining couches was broken. Regarding cleanliness, there was a ton of icky crums in between the cusions of the seats in the theater room that one of our toddlers discovered, the bottom outside of refrigerator looked like it was growing fuzzy mold, and there's a bad ant problem, not to mention dust and cobwebs throughout. That all said, the bedding and towels were all clean and fresh and the bathrooms were clean as well. It's like all the basic cleaning is tended to but very much lacks regular deep cleaning. Nothing was so bad that we had to leave and we did enjoy our time but it was disappointing. I feel a little bad saying all this because the host really was very nice but it's just my honest review and I have to say we won't be back.

Family vacation
The house had lots of places to sleep. One bathroom super small another bathroom was a little bigger than the 3rd bathroom was much better. The kitchen very small and everything out dated. The whole house really needs an update. When we first got there the house smelled like cat pee but that did go away. The outside had lots of room for everyone. Wonderful views and great dock to jump off and dock a boat. Fire pit was great. Overall it was great. Lots of books and board games and plenty of Towles.

Family vacation
We had a great time at Mike’s place. We have a large family and had plenty of room for everyone. It was a very relaxing place, just sitting by the water and fishing. If you like shade, there is a yard with trees and lots of spaces for parking. Mike was a great host and helped us set up an outdoor movie, which was fun. If you have a boat, you will love the set up. We didn’t have a boat, but we still had a blast. One day at the amusement park, which is one of my favorite places in the world, another day we drive about half an hour to France Park, which was a wonderful state park with waterfalls, hiking, fishing and swimming. They have scuba diving, too. The taco place down the road that is on the water has amazing food! We went there twice, The kids liked floating and swimming off the pier and playing euchre on the picnic table. The house is like visiting grandparents at the lake when I was a kid. It’s homey and not so “perfect” that you are afraid to live in it.
