About the host
Hosted by Samantha McFarland
My brother and I wanted a place for our families to meet up and create memories together that felt like a getaway from daily life. Lake life drew us in. Since we will only come together a few times a year, we decided sharing the opportunity to create memories with others would be fulfilling. Therefore, we created Hummingbird Haven, LLC to partner up and purchase this home for us and to share with others through short term rental. The name of the company is to honor our Mom's memory. She passed October 19, 2007 and had an affinity for hummingbirds. To celebrate her, we have careful placed a few hummingbird decorations around the property. We truly hope you will enjoy your time and make lasting memories!
Why they chose this property
This quaint golf cart community along the shoreline provides lake access and views without the challenge of steep inclines and dangerous steps. With the neighbors also using the properties nearby as vacation homes, only visiting on occasion, it is often a private setting. It is close to Indiana Beach, Wineries, and other Monticello attractions. Also, it is a short drive to Purdue University when visiting the campus.
What makes this property unique
The wall of windows over looking the lake views with a deck large enough for entertaining, shaded yard with firepit, and 2 private piers perfect for enjoying private access to the water and nearby peninsula. Everything you need to play, entertain or relax!
