About this house rental

Located in Indiana, this attractive house for R 3,030 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. This house was built in 1888 but was completely remodeled in 2016 to update all the amenities and to revive the beautiful historical details. This house is situated on 75 acres of woods and farm ground near Lake Shafer in Buffalo, IN. It is approximately 10 miles North of Indiana Beach. It is secluded enough for a much needed get away but located close enough to enjoy all the activities the area has. This house is great for families and for a couples get away. The parking area is large enough for several vehicles as well as a boat trailer. There are several boat launches close by for boating on Lake Shafer or Lake Freeman. If you don't have a boat of your own, there are rental places in the area that rent boats and wave runners. The house is approximately 1700 sq ft and has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with central A/C. The master bedroom is on the 1st floor and has a queen size bed. The first bedroom upstairs doubles as a TV room, but has a twin size trundle bed that sleeps two. The second bedroom upstairs has a king size bed and the third upstairs bedroom has two twin sized beds. There is also a separate laundry room and office area on the first floor. The kitchen and bathroom are fully furnished with items to get your stay started. We would recommend bringing additional items for longer stays. All linens are provided. This house also has an enclosed front porch great for relaxing. Outside you will find a gas grill and a fire pit that is great for making memories around. The property also has a creek that runs through it creating a wonderful habitat for many deer and wild turkey (no hunting or ATV's allowed on this property). The property is great for taking walks, riding your bike and seeing nature.

We had a wonderful, relaxing time at this charming, renovated farmhouse. The setting is very peaceful, great for long walks, and filled with a large variety of birds and wildlife to enjoy. All of the rooms are quite spacious and beautifully decorated, and the kitchen is filled with all the essentials for cooking meals. We hope to return next year!

Great little house to stay at! Owner’s instructions were super easy to accommodate. I would just suggest a deep clean of the grill and stove, when we used them, they were pretty dirty making the grill hard to use and the house smoky when we used the oven

Beautifully remodeled farmhouse with enough beds for 8 people to sleep comfortably. Large living room with bonus enclosed front porch. All the furnishings and kitchen appliances and utensils we needed. A great place for our whole family to be together. Only downside is that there’s only one bathroom. But we made it work.

The house itself was exactly as advertised in the pictures. Cute, old house that's been updated. No complaints there. We were surprised when we arrived that it was not secluded at all. This is my fault for not studying the maps closely enough. I was going by the listing saying it is secluded, on 75 acres and great for walks, etc. and all of the photos having a lovely country landscape out the windows. In reality it is right across the road from some kind of campground with a house, a few random cabins, garages and half a dozen campers. People were all over the place riding golf carts constantly, including in the field north of the house. Looking out the widow to see people and golf carts, or hearing them yelling while outside trying to relax was a massive disappointment. The whole reason for this trip was to escape our neighbors in the city and be truly alone and at peace. We almost turned around and went home, but had already paid, so were stuck. Again, the host and house were fine, and no one came onto the property and bothered us. I just wanted to point this out because I wish I had realized it ahead of time - hoping it helps someone. My fault for not reviewing the maps more closely - the info was available and I missed it.

We had a wonderful trip and loved the space and property. Our only suggestion is to provide enough paper products for the amount of people and duration of stay. We were not wasteful but ran out quickly.

Amazing home with all the amenities. Plenty of property to walk around, excellent fire pit for bonding and chatting or relaxing and taking in the sounds of nature with subtle sounds of babbling waters that border the property. Inside the home is spacious with great beds!! A++ I would recommend for anybody looking for a peaceful getaway! Seamless experience with property owners. Made the stay even more care free, we will return! Thank you.

The house was beautiful. Very clean and accommodating hostess. Perfect for my family of 8 . The linens were clean and fresh, she even provided bath towels and wash cloths. The rooms up stairs did get a little warm the first night. The temps were in the high 90s during our visit. But I did find two stand up fans in cleaning closet while looking for a broom. Which we used in the rooms the second night and was perfect then. My family and I will definitely be back again next year for the same visit. Thanks Michelle.

great place. little hot upstairs until we located the fans in the closet. fire pit is gorgeous. Only improvement would be easier access to the river, which is not the fault of the property owner.

very nice and comfortable. Only problem was the stairs; Not great for older guests. The step to the upstairs bedrooms was particularly steep and unexpected. Resulted in a fall (no injury).

The home was beautiful and easy to check in. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are a little steep so my uncle slept downstairs on the couch. The enclosed patio is just perfect for coffee/wine sitting for a nice visit. We loved our stay and you will too.

We loved everything about our stay!! There were plenty of towels, plenty of space, and everything was so thoughtfully decorated. It was really lovely. The little lake house community nearby seems really charming and fun, but this house is set back from all the other houses there, so you don't feel like you're in the middle of a crowd or anything. The big porch and yard around the house was also so nice. We spent our days at Indiana Beach, and this was a perfect spot to return to after being at the park all day. A note I would make that might be helpful for guests with mobility issues-the stairs to the second floor have a slippery finish, and there is not a railing on the stairs. So we were a bit nervous about letting the kids be on the stairs. Make sure to take their socks off. My mom stayed downstairs because she has trouble with stairs. Maybe a swirling and something with some traction on the stairs would be nice. Thank you for hosting us, you made this trip so relaxing!

The house was so beautifully decorated inside. Everything was spot on for an old farm house. It was very clean and welcoming. Everything needed to stay for a few days. We loved the charm with doors and floors and furnishings.

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the house and property on this secluded lot. We were just a short drive from Indiana beach and this house worked out perfectly for our family of 7. We cooked 3 meals and the kitchen had all the utensils, appliances and dishes we needed. Would definitely stay here again.
