Good place for us and our favorite people

Quiet and convenient spot for our happenings in Brownsburg and Lizton for a long weekend with all of our closest friends! Although there were some issues with bugs and cleanliness of the property when we arrived, communication with the owner was quick and the problems were taken care of within the hour. The home shows some age, but great for hosting a large group!

Family Trip

Decided to find a location that would have lots of room for the kids to play. Plenty of room and parking. The petting zoo was also a hit with the kids. Close enough to activities, but not right in Indianapolis and in an nice area.

Great for our kids

We reunited with 2 other families and our kids had a blast. Especially when they were able to see a pig in the front yard as well as the horses, rabbits, goats, and chickens. The house was well-furnished and conveniently close to Indianapolis! Wonderful retreat away from the bustle of the city!

Family Fun

Loved the farmhouse. Owners very quick to respond. Plenty of space for our family meet-up vacation. Love the location...country atmosphere with businesses within 5 miles if you need anything. Kids loved the animals and had fun with the paddle boat, canoe and boat. Kitchen is nice and plenty of eating space. House was conveniently laid out for our 4 families plus one.

Indy Family Vacation

Our trip to Brownsburg/Indy was amazing! The house was large enough to accommodate our whole family! The house was clean and had everything we needed! It was well stocked with kitchen items! The farm, trail ride, fishing at the pond, and huge yard to play was amazing and the owners were very polite and kind to us! The house is a short ways away from the amazing children’s museum, Indianapolis zoo, and lots of cooks parks and restaurants! We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend our stay here! Thanks again!

Family Gathering

The Cottage is a nicely refurbished farm house. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and there was plenty of space for the 6 adults and 4 grandchildren. The outdoors were great for the kids to play outside as weather permitted. They enjoyed a walk down to the see the animals and the basketball hoop. We traveled to the Indianapolis Zoo and the Children's Museum and both were about a half hours driving distance. Thanks Chuck and Marie for being very accomodating.

Family time & convenience

The house was beautiful (hard to imagine it not being someone's family home). Spacious for the kids to enjoy & the adults to spread out. Plenty of bathrooms, beds, tvs, etc. Little ones enjoyed the animals. Convenient to the venue (Ash & Oak) for a wedding. Owners were very accomodating to our schedule. Our only complaint was there were no sheets on master bed & we had to retrieve washclothes from dryer. We didn't bother owners about the sheets because it was late before we realized it & we made due with smaller size we found in a closet. We discovered the correct size still in washer on the day we left when starting the bedding we used. We also had to empty the dishwasher before loading with dishes we used. Just appeared someone started laundry & dishwasher but never returned to finish before we arrived. That could've been due to our schedule so still left 5 star rating.

Abundant Outdoor Space

The Cottage had plenty of indoor and outdoor space for our group of seven. Grandchildren and adults alike enjoyed the farm aspect of this property. We appreciated the TP, paper towels, fans in bedrooms, plenty of towels, and large refrigerator. The proximity to Brownsburg and the Indy area was ideal. I must also add that the weekend that we were there, we all felt that the house needed a deep-cleaning. I understand that the owners do some of this in the winter when they are not renting their place, but the guests at the end of the season should experience the same cleanliness as the guests at the beginning of the season.

Great country stay

The house was spacious and has a nice sized living room and kitchen. There was plenty of space outside to eat as well. The shared lake was really nice and the kids enjoyed jumping off the docks. The paddle boat and canoe were beat up and didn't work well. The worst part was the house by the lake had a pit bull which was not always tied up. It acted aggressive and growled at us. Luckily a teenage girl who was staying at the house tied it up. I was disappointed when we contacted Chuck about it, he did not help in any way. I think that if you have a

Perfection!

We primarily rented The Cottage for a family get-together because it was centrally located for our clan. It was perfect for the grandkids who were able to feed the goats, play in the leaves, and run around to their heart's delight. And it was ideal for the grown-ups who were able to watch the kids run around from the large wrap around porch. The kitchen was big - 4 adults were able to co-cook without stepping on one another - and accommodated 8 adults and 2 children quite comfortably. All of us watched TV together in the big living room. The bedrooms were lovely, we all slept well. While the Cottage is not handicap accessible, it was workable for me and my wheelchair. I was able to get out on the porch without too much difficulty. I could move independently in the kitchen/dining room and the living room. And with help from my kind family I navigated the steps and narrow doorways with ease. We are going to make going to The Cottage an annual event! Thank you!

Family getaway

The Cottage afforded my family party of ten the perfect space. Every individual couple/family had their own bedroom and bathroom space. The kitchen and dining area was excellent for preparing food and playing games all at the same time. Chuck and Marie, the owners, are responsive to all communication but we never have any problems and always enjoy our stay!
