Top Lake Shafer Hotel Reviews

Waterfront Lake Shafer - Hot Tub + Fireplace

10/10 Excellent

"The house was clean, spacious, and exactly what my family was looking for. We rented a pontoon boat, and the fellas enjoyed fishing. The kids enjoyed smores during our evening bonfires."

Lake Shafer Country Cottage with Magnificent View

6/10 Okay

"Meeting the owner in person to Acces keys was a challenge for us with timing and traffic. We felt bad for arriving later than planned. When we arrived we found the master bedroom sheets had hair and particles on them. Even though we arrived late at night the owner came right over to fix the issue and replaced the sheets. The view, patio and sand beach are amazing! Steep set of stairs to get down to beach totally not a problem for us but be mindful if someone has mobility restrictions. Additionally the ability to rent kayaks was very nice and convenient. If you are a beginner kayaker probably not the best. To enter the water you go down a ladder into the water where there is a small standing pad to load into the kayak. As a shorter person and high water levels I was not high enough above the kayak to get stability to load therefore had to get creative and hung off the ladder. The mornings were super quiet and peaceful, calm water not a lot of river traffic. Great for kayaking. Afternoon river turned into a party vibe, lots of music. There was a house down river that played music into the evening till about midnight but we did not mind the style was good and a variety. Having a fire on the sand beach was an excellent way to enjoy the sunset evening stars. There were a few spiders/bugs, we chopped it up to being an older cottage hard to seal to keep them out. Great dog friendly, our dog enjoyed the long weekend. She is trained to kayak with us and wears a life vest."

Dockside Lake Resort

6/10 Okay

"Loved how close it was. Loved how friendly and prompt the staff was (we had difficulties with our door code). Didn’t love the smell in the room. Smelled like mildew. Didn’t like that our room was NOTHING like advertised. There was no BEDROOM. It was a studio. The parking was less than ideal for units 8/9/10/11 (angled and made it difficult for anyone leaving the property). Loved the kitchenette in the room. Didn’t like the broken bathroom window (wouldn’t open) and the lack of exhaust fan in the bathroom. Also- mold on the bathroom ceiling in multiple spots. Okay for one night, but will take my chances at another hotel/motel/cabin- accommodation next time. Also- didn’t use the pool- open 10-10. Checkout was simple. No staff at the office… I don’t think ever. Texting, phone calls, and the app are the communication preferences. Also super thin walls. We rented room 9 and family rented 10. You could hear through the walls! Room 11 wasn’t being OVERLY loud, but they could be heard in room 10. And I don’t know if animals are allowed, but someone absolutely had their dog there!!"

The Lake House Everyone Wants w/two decks, great amenities & optional Pontoon!

10/10 Excellent

"Kelly and Kevin have such a beautiful home! They were always quick to respond to any questions we had, and the amenities truly went above and beyond. They had everything we needed and more! I loved how they had plenty of towels (and the towels were plush!) pillows, sheets ect!! Everything was spotless, and I absolutely loved the setup and decor. The two decks offer incredible views, and all of the outdoor furniture was so comfortable. We also rented the pontoon boat for the day, and it was the perfect addition to our trip. Our family made so many wonderful memories during our extended weekend stay. We will definitely be back again!"

Lake Freeman house w/boat dock... Minutes from Indiana Beach/Lake Shafer

10/10 Excellent

"Nice house right on the river with beautiful views! We enjoyed staying here. The beds and couches were very comfortable and there’s plenty of space in all the rooms. My kids had fun fishing right off the dock, and my son actually saw a deer crossing the river. I also like that it’s close to restaurants, stores and Indiana Beach Amusement Park. We would definitely stay here again."
