Watch the sunrise from this newly remodeled, 3 bedroom/2 bath home on Big Monon Bay in Monticello, Indiana, with Lake Shafer access close by. This is in a quiet area, No Wake Zone, deep water swimming, and great fishing opportunities. Ideal for canoeing and kayaking. A boat ramp is just across the way. Every bedroom has sliding glass doors to a furnished deck area!
A canoe is provided for our guests only! A canoe, 2 oars & some life jackets are available to our guests. There is NO EXTRA CHARGE for this. Use EXTREME caution and all safety rules when canoeing.
Besides TV and Cable, there is Wireless Internet access, and a fax machine. There are three covered and lighted boat slips with lifts (one rigged for a pontoon boat) and three furnished decks, one of which is over the water. The master bedroom, living room, and kitchen all have a panoramic view of the bay. Sliding glass doors from master bedroom and kitchen allow access to large deck area. A growing collection of books, movies and games are provided. If you are looking for all the amenities and benefits that a well-equipped, attractive, private home on the water can give you, this is the vacation home for you!
Special Notes: Water depth varies from 5 feet at the seawall to 12 feet at the end of the docks to about 20 feet in the middle of the old river channel. Sandy swimming areas are readily accessible by boat on Lake Shafer and by both boat and automobile at the famous Indiana Beach Amusement Park, which maintains a designated beach and water park about two mile from BayView Cottage.
Access from BayView Cottage docks to Lake Shafer is under the Monon Bay bridge about 1/8th mile from the cottage. Clearance under the bridge is 48 inches, which is adequate for most deck boats, runabouts, and fishing boats, and some pontoon boats (some pontoons will not fit). Big boats that will not pass under the bridge can be moored at rental boat slips on Lake Shafer or operated only in Monon Bay and on the Monon river, which extends for several miles and is all designated as a No Wake Area.
Winter Retreats Welcome TOO! - All SEASONS ARE QUITE BEAUTIFUL HERE! ARE YOU WRITING A BOOK? MUSIC? OR JUST LOOKING FOR A QUIET, RELAXING BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT? THIS IS THE COTTAGE FOR YOU! COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF AND ALLOW THE CREATIVITY TO FLOW!
We supply each of our guests with a Welcome Packet that contains all your needed information and more for your stay with us. Our guests really enjoy receiving these in the mail. If there is any further information you are interested in for the area and/or home, we are happy to help!

Dear Rachel,
As last year, the stay was wonderful and even more relaxing as we got to see friends and have friends visit. We did use the canoe and that was a welcomed addition. You have not missed anything in making a vacation easy and relaxing by providing all the needs, conveniences and more, than one would find at home. The location and setting is just icing on the cake.
You can also anticipate us returning next year as we look at a schedules in the very near future.
Best personal regards, -2009

We had a great time! The deck was awesome to sit on in the morning and drink coffee. We ate outside every night - lot's of room and no bugs or flies to bother us! The king size bed was great and there was a TV and DVD player in every room. The location was good and fairly close to everything you needed. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Everything was very clean. -2009

This place was amazing! Everything we needed was there and plenty of room for everyone to sleep, relax, and enjoy. The deck areas were huge and we used them the entire weekend. We will definitely be back and recommend to anyone looking to spend a weekend in Monticello.

We really did enjoy your house. You certainly tried to provide everything we would need. The dock, the canoe and the decks are outstanding. What beautiful views! ( But where were the fish?) The younger 2 liked the yard a lot and your deer.
We usually go to Hilton Head, The Outer Banks, or Destin so this was a totally different experience. It was a lot more casual than usual which was nice.
The closeness of Monticello... would make long weekends possible...
I'll get back with some photos.
I appreciate how quickly you responded each time . The process was easy, and efficient. Thank you for your help Rachel. -2009
