Lemon Lift, house on the shores of Lake Lemon near Bloomington and Nashville IN.

This old lake house sits on a hill at lakefront overlooking the greatest expanse of the lake from the living room and upper deck. It’s a short 11 mile drive to both Bloomington and Nashville Indiana. Bring your boat or use our kayaks at the house. Most of all bring your dog, we love dogs.
There is a shared dock. We keep a boat there and occasionally come to use it. There is room for a boat on the other side of the dock.

This is a welcoming place for kids and dogs. We took our 3 grandsons who spent most of their time in the water, swimming and kayaking. At the end of the day we made s'mores in the fire pit and the boys had baths in the jetted tub. We watched a beautiful sunset from the wraparound deck. A fun, comfortable weekend.

Quiet and quaint - Loves dogs!

We were looking for a last minute spot to get away from the city for the 4th of july weekend. The Lemon Lift cottage was perfect for a few nights. The upper deck was perfect for watching the fireworks and the dogs loved swimming off the dock. The house itself was old and has seen some days, but it's all you need for a weekend. Bring Off and yard fogger. The ticks were pretty bad.Check in was easy and the host was so sweet. She came by to welcome us and make sure we had eveything we need. The rental comes with use of a kayak and there's a charcoal grill on the lower patio.

Sisters Weekend

My sister lives in Illinois and I live in Ohio, so we met in Indiana. We loved the porch, all of the windows overlooking the lake, and the overall brightness of the house. We weren’t interested in shopping, wineries or nightlife, so can’t speak to those things in the area but it was a perfect place to hang out and catch up. Very relaxing!

Best Friends Weekend

My best friend from high school and I stayed the weekend and it was great! The owner popped in on Saturday and we had a wonderful chat She was very welcoming to me, my friend and my dog. Check in and check out were both easy-peasy. Lakefront location was excellent and accommodations were cozy, homey and super inviting. Would definitely rent again!

Perfect for the occasion

Came with my hubby and dog. The view is beautiful. My family lives nearby and we were doing a burial ceremony for my father who passed a year ago. It was the perfect place to gather and grill while the kids swam and kayaked. Would definitely stay again

Quaint restful retreat

Delightful, quaint, and old fashioned Lake House. Very clean and very charming. Everything anyone could need was there and in good working order. The porch was huge, the fire pit was fun, and the sunrises/sunsets were breathtaking. The beds were extremely comfortable. I would gladly stay there again. My two Westies loved being welcomed with us.

Family vacation.

My family stayed here for the weekend and loved it. Much better than we expected because I didn't realize there was outdoor furniture. The upper deck was beautiful in the morning. We spent our time swimming and floating. The firepit was nice also. We will definitely return. Thank you, Sura, for making us feel welcome!!

Grateful that the price was not jacked up for the eclipse weekend like so many others. Overall the place is great. Just know that there is no dishwasher and that the previous tenants many not have been great dishwashers.

Just okay

Location is great. The yard was covered in hickory nuts making it hard to walk. Plus, my car was damaged from the falling nuts, nowhere else to park but under the tree. The kitchen only had small sauce pans, and one small skillet-Had to go to town to buy a pot to cook dinner for my family. Only one roll of toilet paper for three days days
