Lake Front Home close to Nashville IN, Bloomington IN and Indiana University
Relive the 60's in our Strawberry Fields lake house. Nestled in the Monroe/Brown County hills on beautiful Lake Lemon. Serving families as a guest house since 2001 and was a residence since 1957 making it a very old lake house, nothing fancy! We love pets so bring your dog or cat or parrot! Outside there is a boat dock and swimming/beach area, as well as a large yard and a panoramic view of the lake. Strawberry Fields is perfect for families and gatherings. It offers the ultimate in kid-friendly accommodations with its gently sloped access to the lake, and a large but flat backyard that is ideal for throwing Frisbee or playing croquet. There is a fire pit, a charcoal grill and plenty of chairs on the deck. Great place to watch the sunset!
This whimsical Monroe County getaway comfortably sleeps nine with a queen bed on the main floor, a queen, single bed and a trundle in the upstairs master bedroom,and a queen and single bed in the other upstairs bedroom.
It is conveniently located 11 miles from both Bloomington and Nashville. Note that after four guests there is an additional $7.50 per person charge. Check calendar for current prices, they fluctuate. 20 hours a week is spent on just this house cleaning, yard work, shoreline attention. We opened in 2001 and an average of $3000/ year has been spent on maintaining and improving property.
There is a shared dock, we might have our boat on one side and will come down to use it occasionally. The other side of the dock is available for a boat. The outdoor pool listed is actually the LAKE! There was no way to check for lake. We previously offered a hot tub but do not anymore,sorry.

Very Good

Looking for a bachelor party / house for an away football game. This place was perfect. Didn’t realize there was a bar within walking distance which made it all the more awesome! Ping pong table was a perfect addition too!
We didn’t spend much time there do to having a wedding, very roomy and the view is amazing. I want to come back just to sit by the water with a cup of coffee in the morning and wine in evening

Lake Lemon Stay
Great location and home. No hot tub as listed, not cleaned well, ceiling in kitchen leaked water when it rained. I cleaned everything I touched basically but this house would still be amazing for a low key summer break stay with friends to enjoy the lake.
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Strawberry Fields Lake House. We loved the view that we had of Lake Lemon. Thought about returning for a third time.
The lake view was beautiful. Great fishing.
Comfortable, pet friendly home. Owner was accomadating and reached out to let us know she was available if we had any needs. We had a great time here.
We loved the lake front house lots of room for the kids and stuff for them to do. Stores and stuff not to far to drive. Just very relaxing we enjoyed our stay. Thank you Sura for letting us stay in your house on the lake
older house, lots of outdoor things to do, roomy enough for my family of 6

It was okay
The house and property were nice with the water front but as we were there, the owner of the house kept popping up During our stay conversating and having an Attitude And then on the day of departure was 11 o'clock. And the owner was there at 9:30 in the morning. Watching us as we were cleaning up. Then also One of our friends we're walking on the deck and fell through As many things of this property were very old and not well maintained. We had fun but I would never stay there again
Very relaxed, great yard to play in. Felt very comfortable and had plenty of room when the kids and grandkids came for dinner. Owner very nice. Pot hole inn has delicious food. Catfish was a huge hit with the grandson and hubby.
My wife and I rented this home while she was in Bloomington for some CE. It’s a great little spot on the lake with a large backyard and tons of quirky charm. It can be a little tricky to find which only adds to the sense of getting away.
We needed a place with multiple bedrooms for family weekend at IU and this home provided us with everything we needed. It was a quick 20 minute drive to campus plus we had space for our family and dog and a great view of Lake Lemon. If you are looking for something fancy, this may not be your answer, but if you need space for extra people, a pet, and enjoy lake life, this may be for you.

Very cute “hippy” house
We enjoyed our stay at Strawberry Fields. The house is very eclectically furnished with lots of kitsch- a style I love. The property itself was nice, right on a lake in a rural area. I thought it could use a professional deep-cleaning, but other than that it was very satisfactory for our family. I would definitely stay here again.
Mouse and bug infestations cut ohr stay short. We are having trouble getting a refund that the host agreed to.

Great location - needs attention
The water is beautiful and the yard is nice - we wished we would have brought tents and just slept outside.
The house is old and old is ok - dirty is not. While i appreciate the work the owner puts into keeping up with the property, the home needs a professional deep clean.
Overall property exceeded our expectations. Photos don’t do it justice as the back lawn and beach area were much more accessible and fun filled then we thought it would be! There was a boat but we had been drinking so we didn’t take it out but I didn’t see that mentioned in the description. Overall a great time.
The lake view was outstanding. The kayaks allowed us to see the lake and sounding area better. We had a great time.
We knew the place was an old farmhouse, but the house needs updating. There was a lot of stuff in the house which made it cluttered. My suggestion would be to remove most of the decorations in the living room and dining room to allow for space to congregate.
You kno everyone always wants to be quick to point out whatever they can to bring a property down... this was our 2nd year going and we❤ it.. the house is so kis friendly we never even have to unpack my granddaughters toys, if ur looking for the "RITZ" this ain't it looking for a laid back stay this is it!!
