The older house was very well kept up and we would have enjoyed more time there but our trip got cut short for other reasons. The communication by the owners was quick and very responsive and they were flexible with our adjusted schedule. The walk down to the dock was fun and standing there watching the river flow by was very relaxing. ##### D or K E. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gail M.

The well laid out cottage is very comfortable and close to restaurants and shopping. The cottage was also nicely appointed with cooking utensils and bathroom supplies. We had a great time!

Picked location based on it's riverside position and ability to sleep 4 adults comfortably plus ease of access to Purdue. Property was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. It allowed us all to hang out comfortably in one location and was equal to or less than the cost of the hotels closer to the stadium. Binder of property info and directions was detailed and user friendly. Wished the stairs down to river were a bit more stable. ##### Ronald G.

Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice The one negative aspect of the property is the very dangerous 50+ stairs down to the dock. They are hard to navigate empty handed, it's about impossible to carry something. The boating was a huge disappointment, the river is narrow, shallow and mostly "no wake" zones. The house was clean,comfortable, well equipped and the host was very accommodating and answered all questions quickly. I recommend it if boating isn't your vacation priority. ##### Dave M.

This home was very clean. The kitchen isn't well stocked if you want to cook for a group. The outdoor spaces are very pleasant to sit and the view is fantastic. As others mentioned, the walk down to the water is steep. The path has a sturdy rail & good lighting. There is no ladder on the dock to get in or out of the water. We found sitting on the pier to be a quiet & peaceful spot. The house is a solid value and we would stay again. ##### Katy H.

Wonderful weekend getaway, or in our case, family weekend at Purdue. Our son enjoyed staying with us and getting away from campus for a few days. Great location in Monticello right on Lake Freeman. Deck and patio combine for the perfect, tranquil setting under large, mature trees and natural landscape down to the dock. Morning coffee never felt so right. House is clean and quaint, with all your basic amenities, plus a nice TV, board games and kitchen essentials. Lots of natural light, plus rooms are all well equipped with ample, touch lamps. Grocery store only a few minutes away. Neighborhood is nice a quiet with everyone having fairly large lots. Eager to return. You’ll enjoy your stay here! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Inn-Suites.h17932.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Big Splash Adventure Indoor Water Park & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/French-Lick-Hotels-Big-Splash-Adventure-Indoor-Water-Park-Resort.h4857069.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Jasper by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Jasper.h1802413.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Chip Casino Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Michigan-City-Hotels-Blue-Chip-Casino-Hotel-And-Spa.h2991209.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake ](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Pointe Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Jasper.h24170.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Anderson Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Muncie-Hotels-Anderson-Inn.h996273.Hotel-Information) > > [Belterra Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Madison-Hotels-Belterra-Casino-Resort.h1152807.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Jasper.h9970.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information)
