This picturesque setting features three cottages with park-style charcoal grills, fish cleaning tables, and fire pits overlooking an 11-acre lake and waterfall. Each cottage has its own small boat for fishing or leisurely rides. 8.0 Very good ### Entire home 1 bedroom1 bathroomSleeps 4 ## Popular amenities - Fireplace - Parking available - Kitchen - Barbecue grill - Outdoor space - Lake view ## Add dates for prices Check-in Check-out Travellers ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### 1BR, 1BA cottage Berry Branch Cottages are a one of a kind vacation destination. This is a place that the whole family can come and spend time together and have their own sleeping accommodations. The three cottages are older and made of Indiana limestone but have all of the modern amenities of home. Have you seen the movie Dirty Dancing and the Camp they visit in the Catskills? You will be reminded of that from the moment you see the Berry Branch Cottages sign, to the long driveway across the dam overlooking the 11-acre lake or passing the water fall, to the drive up to one of the THREE cottages. You will love this setting. At each of the 3 cottages, there is a park-style charcoal grill (you provide the charcoal), a fish cleaning table, a fire pit and a view of nature. At the lake there is a small boat for each cottage. (Doesn’t matter which one you use as there are 3 cottages and 3 boats.) You DO need to bring your OWN linens, towels, pillows, blankets for these units (like camping). Lakeside Cottage, the newest remodeled cottage is a 1BR, 1BA cottage overlooking the lake. You will find a queen bed and 2 rollaway single beds. A full kitchen with all the dishes needed to supply a family meal. If you have that specialty item you like to use in the kitchen, you might want to bring it with you. There is a dining room and a living room for those family memories. This unit has a wood burning fireplace. Old Timer’s Cottage (the first cottage ever erected on the property) has the most history. It too is a 1BR, 1 BA with 2 single rollaways and had the same amenities at the Lakeside Cottage. There is no fireplace at this cottage. Meadow View Cottage is nested beside the nice meadow of wild flowers and where you might just see some extra wildlife, depending on the day. Deer love to forage there and enjoy the sunshine. This is our 2BR, 1BA with 2 rollaways all of the same amenities as the other cottages. This unit has a wood burning fireplace. Lakeside Cottage holds 4 people, Old Timer’s Cottage holds 4 people and Meadow View Cottage holds 6 people so a total of 14 people can stay here at one time. This is a great place for larger families to come and catch up from their busy lives. This little camp has been in existence since 1958 when Jack and Thelma Crider decided to share their peace of Heaven with others. Today their grandson Clayton Beard and his wife Kayla live onsite in the old homestead. They ran this camp for a few years on their own but with their growing family, they have decided to turn over the Management to Hills O’ Brown Vacation Rentals. SO, whether you have been coming for 50 years, and yes some have been, or whether you will be a first time guests, Clayton and Kayla hope that this can be the place that you will come and visit for many years to come. All our cabins have a 3 night minimum for Major Holidays. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a lake ### Things to do - Boat - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48720000/48716100/48716057/d65c335f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2BR, 1BA cottage Norman - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=48716057&PinnedHotelID=48716057&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48720000/48716000/48715975/a101b350.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1BR, 1BA cottage Norman - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill 9.4 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-18&endDate=2025-10-19&selected=48715975&PinnedHotelID=48715975&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96810000/96801600/96801506/dc5134f2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakeside Cabin - Serene Retreat with Lake Monroe Views + Wraparound Deck Nashville - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 23 reviews CA $423 CA $780 total includes taxes & fees Oct 10 - Oct 11 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-10&endDate=2025-10-11&selected=96801506&PinnedHotelID=96801506&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76430000/76422800/76422759/a232fd34.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Hidden Haven" Suite @Rustic Retreat Cabin - firepit & sauna Van Buren Township - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Parking available - Barbecue grill 8.8 Excellent 23 reviews CA $352 CA $535 total includes taxes & fees Oct 5 - Oct 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-05&endDate=2025-10-06&selected=76422759&PinnedHotelID=76422759&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22870000/22865500/22865467/0760b72a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hot tub overlooking Lake Monroe.
