About this property

Family Friendly completely remodeled secluded vacation spot near Lake Shafer

This house was built in 1888 but was completely remodeled in 2016 to update all the amenities and to revive the beautiful historical details. This house is situated on 75 acres of woods and farm ground near Lake Shafer in Buffalo, IN. It is approximately 10 miles North of Indiana Beach. It is secluded enough for a much needed get away but located close enough to enjoy all the activities the area has. This house is great for families and for a couples get away. The parking area is large enough for several vehicles as well as a boat trailer. There are several boat launches close by for boating on Lake Shafer or Lake Freeman. If you don't have a boat of your own, there are rental places in the area that rent boats and wave runners.

The house is approximately 1700 sq ft and has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with central A/C. The master bedroom is on the 1st floor and has a queen size bed. The first bedroom upstairs doubles as a TV room, but has a twin size trundle bed that sleeps two. The second bedroom upstairs has a king size bed and the third upstairs bedroom has two twin sized beds. There is also a separate laundry room and office area on the first floor. The kitchen and bathroom are fully furnished with items to get your stay started. We would recommend bringing additional items for longer stays. All linens are provided. This house also has an enclosed front porch great for relaxing.

Outside you will find a gas grill and a fire pit that is great for making memories around. The property also has a creek that runs through it creating a wonderful habitat for many deer and wild turkey (no hunting or ATV's allowed on this property). The property is great for taking walks, riding your bike and seeing nature.

Peaceful Farmhouse
We had a wonderful, relaxing time at this charming, renovated farmhouse. The setting is very peaceful, great for long walks, and filled with a large variety of birds and wildlife to enjoy. All of the rooms are quite spacious and beautifully decorated, and the kitchen is filled with all the essentials for cooking meals. We hope to return next year!

White County Stay
Great little house to stay at! Owner’s instructions were super easy to accommodate. I would just suggest a deep clean of the grill and stove, when we used them, they were pretty dirty making the grill hard to use and the house smoky when we used the oven

Farmhouse Getaway
Beautifully remodeled farmhouse with enough beds for 8 people to sleep comfortably. Large living room with bonus enclosed front porch. All the furnishings and kitchen appliances and utensils we needed. A great place for our whole family to be together. Only downside is that there’s only one bathroom. But we made it work.

Nice little house - not secluded at all.
The house itself was exactly as advertised in the pictures. Cute, old house that's been updated. No complaints there. We were surprised when we arrived that it was not secluded at all. This is my fault for not studying the maps closely enough. I was going by the listing saying it is secluded, on 75 acres and great for walks, etc. and all of the photos having a lovely country landscape out the windows. In reality it is right across the road from some kind of campground with a house, a few random cabins, garages and half a dozen campers. People were all over the place riding golf carts constantly, including in the field north of the house. Looking out the widow to see people and golf carts, or hearing them yelling while outside trying to relax was a massive disappointment. The whole reason for this trip was to escape our neighbors in the city and be truly alone and at peace. We almost turned around and went home, but had already paid, so were stuck. Again, the host and house were fine, and no one came onto the property and bothered us. I just wanted to point this out because I wish I had realized it ahead of time - hoping it helps someone. My fault for not reviewing the maps more closely - the info was available and I missed it.
