Lake Front Home close to Nashville IN, Bloomington IN and Indiana University

Relive the 60's in our Strawberry Fields lake house. Nestled in the Monroe/Brown County hills on beautiful Lake Lemon. Serving families as a guest house since 2001 and was a residence since 1957 making it a very old lake house, nothing fancy! We love pets so bring your dog or cat or parrot!
Outside there is a boat dock and swimming/beach area, as well as a large yard and a panoramic view of the lake. Strawberry Fields is perfect for families and gatherings. It offers the ultimate in kid-friendly accommodations with its gently sloped access to the lake, and a large but flat backyard that is ideal for throwing Frisbee or playing croquet. There is a fire pit, a charcoal grill and plenty of chairs on the deck. Great place to watch the sunset!

This whimsical Monroe County getaway comfortably sleeps nine with a queen bed on the main floor, a queen, single bed and a trundle in the upstairs master bedroom,and a queen and single bed in the other upstairs bedroom.

It is conveniently located 11 miles from both Bloomington and Nashville. Note that after four guests there is an additional $7.50 per person charge. Check calendar for current prices, they fluctuate.
20 hours a week is spent on just this house cleaning, yard work, shoreline attention. We opened in 2001 and an average of $3000/ year has been spent on maintaining and improving property.

There is a shared dock, we might have our boat on one side and will come down to use it occasionally. The other side of the dock is available for a boat.
The outdoor pool listed is actually the LAKE! There was no way to check for lake.
We previously offered a hot tub but do not anymore,sorry.

Very nice spot on the lake. The home has character. It's nice to be able to walk to the Port Hole and it's not a far drive to Bloomington.

Great location and home. No hot tub as listed, not cleaned well, ceiling in kitchen leaked water when it rained. I cleaned everything I touched basically but this house would still be amazing for a low key summer break stay with friends to enjoy the lake.

My wife and I rented this home while she was in Bloomington for some CE. It’s a great little spot on the lake with a large backyard and tons of quirky charm. It can be a little tricky to find which only adds to the sense of getting away.

Very relaxed, great yard to play in. Felt very comfortable and had plenty of room when the kids and grandkids came for dinner. Owner very nice. Pot hole inn has delicious food. Catfish was a huge hit with the grandson and hubby.

We enjoyed our stay at Strawberry Fields. The house is very eclectically furnished with lots of kitsch- a style I love. The property itself was nice, right on a lake in a rural area. I thought it could use a professional deep-cleaning, but other than that it was very satisfactory for our family. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall we had a good time . Bathtub is not easy to use due to height.

We needed a place with multiple bedrooms for family weekend at IU and this home provided us with everything we needed. It was a quick 20 minute drive to campus plus we had space for our family and dog and a great view of Lake Lemon. If you are looking for something fancy, this may not be your answer, but if you need space for extra people, a pet, and enjoy lake life, this may be for you.

The house and property were nice with the water front but as we were there, the owner of the house kept popping up During our stay conversating and having an Attitude And then on the day of departure was 11 o'clock. And the owner was there at 9:30 in the morning. Watching us as we were cleaning up. Then also One of our friends we're walking on the deck and fell through As many things of this property were very old and not well maintained. We had fun but I would never stay there again

The lake view was outstanding. The kayaks allowed us to see the lake and sounding area better. We had a great time. We knew the place was an old farmhouse, but the house needs updating. There was a lot of stuff in the house which made it cluttered. My suggestion would be to remove most of the decorations in the living room and dining room to allow for space to congregate.

There is a large back yard leading to the lake, which was great. The location right on the water was the highlight of the place. The indoor space is crowded and unorganized, did not have a working washer/dryer or dishwasher, and didn’t provide enough beach and bath towels/dish towels. While the view of the lake was great, the house itself was very dated and not well-kept. We made the most of it staying outside most all of our time and taking advantage of the multiple kayaks, rafts that were provided.

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Be aware you must recycle all your trash, sweep and vacuum before you leave and the upstairs was hot. We bought fans and yard guard. The home has decades of deferred maintenance but my family thought it a great value. Nothing fancy - just a beautiful lake. Owner watches you from neighboring properties and does drive bys.

Absolutely loved the outdoor space - double swing on the shore, fire pit, back deck off the dining room & kitchen, gorgeous view of the lake! Indoors is very 1960s - Beatles and LOTS of memorabilia from the time. If you're an old hippie, you'll love it. If you're fancy, not so much. It's all a matter of what you like. It was just fine for four women who were born in the early 1960s and raised on farms near a small town. Love the owner, honest and down to earth, great communication, very responsive to our requests. Lots of sleeping spaces for families and welcoming to pets. Enjoyed our time there.

Had a fun couple nights away from home. Property is tucked away and secluded which we enjoyed. Things could have been cleaner. We found quite a few trash related items while cleaning before checkout that were not ours. Children’s outdoor toys and recreational items were not cleaned. Very rustic old cottage feel and experience. We had a lot of fun. We would stay again despite all of these things.

My four sisters, one cousin and I stayed here this weekend. First of all the view from the cottage overlooking the backyard and lake was fantastic. The fall colors of the trees put on a colorful display. It was pretty cold out, but we remained toasty and cozy inside. We wanted to build a fire inside, but was leery about the wood burning fireplace insert after the landlady told us it has not been used for some time. We had everything we needed for a fun weekend.
