Perfect Stay

This was such a perfect place to stay! Kathy was a great host and kept communication with us the whole time. It’s only a short walk to the pier and a small beach, The house also has all the amenities you need and then some! I am recommending to all my family that comes and stays on the Barbee Chain O Lakes.

We enjoyed our quick stay in Indiana. The cottage was extremely clean. We enjoyed being able to walk right down to the lake and I could not even believe it but Kathy took us out on her boat! I was so grateful - my 10 year old said that was the best part :)

Great stay at Kathy's place!

Our very first time using VRBO and Kathy helped make it a terrific first impression. Not only was her communication leading up to our stay excellent (very quick responses to questions and answered our questions completely), she was even there to meet us, gave us a quick tour and made us feel very welcome to enjoy our stay. Cottage was very well appointed, had everything we needed (I'd say even more than advertised) and the patio was excellent for enjoying early morning coffee watching the sun rise. Perfect little cottage for a small family like ours, our 17-year-old son said the pullout bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you'd need for meals. Great location for a quiet weekend enjoying walks or time on one of the lakes. We highly recommend!

Nice stay-friendly people

Property was nice and quiet, had all of the amenities we needed and we were upgraded upon arrival! Was nice having a pier to use and if you have small children the little sandy beach was nice. There was close by dining at the Barbee hotel and a little convenience store at end of lane.
