We booked "Cozy Cottage" for the 5 days over the 4th of July holiday. We had stayed here before and wanted to return. The accommodations were great, the view of the river fabulous and the deck actually sits on the river. 100% great.

Came to the area to visit family and decided to try this cabin in lieu of a hotel room. Best choice ever! This cabin far exceeds any hotel in the Monticello area. It was just as described. Clean, well furnished and perfectly comfortable. Location was great; 10 minutes from the Kroger and Walmart. Lake view was nice and the deck was perfect for early mornings and evening for relaxing. Very quiet area of the lake. The sunroom was also perfect for when the weather was not suited for being outside. Overall… it was perfect for us and we will be back when we are in the area again.

This cottage is updated and nicely decorated. We spent a lot of time reading, playing games, and relaxing on the screened in porch. The beds were all very comfortable, and we had plenty of extra blankets. Cupboards were very well stocked with dishes and cookware, and the air conditioning worked great in spite of some very hot days. Most of all, this place is CLEAN! Not a speck of dust or cobweb to be found. The kitchen & appliances were immaculate, as was the entire bathroom. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here!

We had a great time here MDW. The deck was perfect for lounging while we did crosswords and played cards, and we had many meals out there. On rainy days, the couch was comfy for lounging and watching our favorite shows. The cottage has a very well equipped kitchen - I usually bring a few kitchen things of my own because I never know what to expect, and they had everything we needed including good knives, basic oil and spices, and plenty of pots and pans. We would absolutely stay here again!

We were pleasantly surprised to find such a nice place to stay while visiting family at Shafer Lake. We have been coming to this area for the past 10+ years for a family reunion and struggle to find a good place to stay. The home was clean and had every amenity you could want during a stay. The Host was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be staying here for future visits.

Everything was meticulously clean, well organized, and decorated tastefully. The hosts were so kind and helpful, making me feel very welcomed and safe since I was visiting on my own. I highly recommend this property.

The property manager was easy to communicate with! Always great in my book! The cottage was cozy, very well decorated, and perfect size! It had everything we needed! We enjoyed the lake view from the screened in porch and played games. We did travel with a dog and toddler, so the grounds wasn’t great. No area really to walk our dog or to let the toddler run around. To swim, you need a life jacket and our dog/toddler couldn’t swim because it is deep. We spent the day at Indiana Beach and it is close to some good restaurants. We would be back for an adult only getaway!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here! We enjoyed the house, it was really like a home away from home. Most definitely enjoyed the private deck over the water. We were fortunate enough to see some of the neighbors doing beautiful fireworks. We were able to bring our dogs, which is a huge plus. We went to Indiana beach one day and the house is so close we were able to come back and cool off a few times! I would definitely recommend staying at this property! It truly met all of our needs.

Came to the area to visit family and decided to try this cabin in lieu of a hotel room. Best choice ever! This cabin far exceeds any hotel in the Monticello area. It was just as described. Clean, well furnished and perfectly comfortable. Location was great; 10 minutes from the Kroger and Walmart. Lake view was nice and the deck was perfect for early mornings and evening for relaxing. Very quiet area of the lake. The sunroom was also perfect for when the weather was not suited for being outside. Overall… it was perfect for us and we will be back when we are in the area again.

Bob and Jayne are the best hosts ever. Awesome cabin right on the lake. Great deck overhanging the water with a lot of sitting area. Fire pit for evening enjoyment lake side. I’d recommend this cabin to anyone and we will be returning 👍

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Cabin. Cabin was close to the wineries and to the Madam Carroll dinner boat cruise we went on. We enjoyed our day on the deck playing cards and catching some rays! Cabin is stocked with most everything you need.

The owner lives next to the property and there are a few decks to enjoy the water views. It is about 5 miles from Indiana Beach.

We SO enjoyed our few days at Shafer Lake. Our little cottage was perfect and we rarely left the beautiful deck! Jane and Bob were fantastic hosts…friendly and helpful with all our questions. We hope to go back some time!

Such a great time. Only 10 minutes from Indiana Beach. Loved having morning coffee on the deck every morning. Place was clean and so adorable. We will be back if coming to Indiana again.

What a great place. Perfect for a small family that wants to vacation in Monticello. The place itself is very nice, but i especially like it's location right outside the edge of town, and right on the lake. Close to Indiana beach and anything you need in town, yet with a country feel to it - cornfields and meadows just North of the property. This was our second time here, and we really like the place.

Wonderful property, very peaceful and the host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. House is small but cozy and has everything you need for the stay. We would definitely stay here again this one is probably one of my favorites so far since we have been coming up here the past few years. I would highly recommend!

The Cozy Cottage was a perfect place to stay for a short getaway to find some peace, quiet, and rest, which I needed very much. Everything was meticulously clean, well organized, and decorated tastefully. The hosts were so kind and helpful, making me feel very welcomed and safe since I was visiting on my own. I highly recommend this property.
