Cozy is right
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.

Cozy cottage
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.

Great Getaway
The owner contacted me beforehand with helpful information and a pleasant welcome. The cottage was nicely decorated, very clean and fully equipped. I especially loved the deck overlooking the water and the all seasons room. I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this property.

Great Home
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.

Great weekend getaway
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 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.

Our vacation
The cabin was good. No privacy. There's 3 cabins right next together. The pic doesn't show the other cabins. And Indiana Beach was closing alot of the rides. That was the main reason we went.

Just as Advertised
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.
