Our experience took an unexpected and very disappointing turn after our stay.
The owner contacted us alleging that our children had been throwing rocks into the pool, leaving trash on the ground, and were unsupervised at both the pool and the playground. Those allegations are simply inconsistent with what occurred. We spent the day at EDM Beach, and our children were only at the pool for approximately one hour. The neighbors next door also told us they did not observe our children throwing rocks, and we have video showing there were no rocks in the pool.
Being accused of this behavior without what we believe to be credible evidence was upsetting and unnecessary. Combined with the other issues we experienced during our stay, this left us with serious concerns about the accuracy of the claims being made and how guests are treated.
We encourage future guests to document the condition of the property with photos and videos upon arrival and departure and to keep records of their stay. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this property. We will share photos of how “dirty” we left the property and left stones in the pool … at least the other pool guest confirmed that the child didn’t throw stones in the pool nor were there any stones in the pool.
Door code didn’t work when we arrived nor did the cleaning crew remove the other house guests prior belongings yet Amy blamed us for leaving the prior renters personal items. Amy truly is a horrific person to deal with!

Arrived and the bed our kids were supposed to sleep on was broken and it was unusable. Refrigerator was rusted. Blinds broken in main bedroom. Flooring completely falling apart. Spider webs everywhere. Listing showed it on the lake, it was across a very busy street from the property. This listing was absolutely deceiving. Pictures from when it first opened or remodeled i would assume. Don't waste your money. There is nobody on site either to help. The manager redone quickly which is great but he's the gatekeeper to the owner who does nothing. They would not reimburse us one night stay for the lack of bed. Very frustrating.

We enjoyed the place and it was very well kept. All in working conditions and clean. Communication was a bit challenging as there is no receptionist around the clock. Most information is clear and easy to follow. The one difference we found here, compared to other hotels, is that you are required to leave the entire property by 11am. Besides this, we enjoyed the stay and it is close to Indiana Beach with a nice view to the river across the street.

Great Stay!!!

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay in studio 2. The place was well appointed for a couple, and very clean. Seemed like it had been completely repainted recently. 5 out of the 8 units had new roofs, so they are definitely working and spending to keep the place nice. The units are in a circle with a small pool in the middle. The pool was nice to use with supplied floaties and stuff. Great location to IB, and a neat general store a 1/4 mile up the road. We will definitely stay here again. Photos are of the lake which is right across the road.

This is a nice quiet location across from the lake. Just a 5 minute drive to IN Beach. They have everything you need for a laid back relaxing stay. We actually stayed here 10 years ago and came back because we really liked it. Nothing has changed except it’s a bit older, which is to be expected. The owners thought of everything, including the use of grills scattered around and even fire pits.

I enjoyed the blue decor. It was clean. The Communication between myself and the host was wonderful. Cable and a DVD player was provided but I did bring my tv (I'm a big gamer) the screen/tv that was provided did not have an HDMI port. But other than that everything was great. Oh, I can't forget about the onsite pool, little play area for the kids, grills and fire pit was a plus. It was not far from the amusement park. I would most definitely stay here again.
