Lake Shafer Country Cottage with Magnificent View

Located 15 minutes outside Monticello on Lake Shafer, this fabulous, historic country cottage offers a cozy retreat for guests. It was once a dwelling for Sally Rand, a famous burlesque dancer, and her entourage during the 1933-34 Chicago Worlds Fair! The 'Eagles' Nest' cottage offers a complimentary coffee bar. With two bedrooms featuring a full bed and a futon, plus a living room with a sofa bed, there’s plenty of space to relax. The newly updated bathroom includes a walk-in shower with complimentary toiletries . Guests stay comfortable thanks to heating and air conditioning. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of exploring Indiana Beach, taking in a kayak trip up river (available to rent), fishing off the sandy river's edge for walleye or bass, or enjoying quiet moments around a beach campfire, this marvelous property provides a fantastic home away from home. This cottage property has plenty of room to park 2 trucks with fishing boats too! We hope you enjoy what our place, Lake Shafer, and all that Monticello has to offer.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features 2 bedrooms.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This home is a gem I would say, unfortunately my experience was not, with the host in particular. The place was quite dirty with unclean floors, bathroom, sheets and unclean dishes. My cat found a random summer sausage on the floor and got sick. My showers were mostly cold. I found multiple roaches daily, and when I found 6 in one night I finally decided to leave. Unfortunately I did not have proof of my complaints, therefore the host turned it around and told me my issues were false. I blew a fuse in the bathroom, which she had to hire an electrician, but told me I should have asked to plug in my device. Host was refusing refund until I complained, therefore she gave me a very small percentage back. I am honestly shocked at how unprofessional and rude this host was with everything that had happened. She was very pleasant to begin with until I decided to leave. If I can give any advice, do not contact host through phone, have proof if there are any issues, and ask to use outlets.
