Lake Front Home close to Nashville IN, Bloomington IN and Indiana University

Relive the 60's in our Strawberry Fields lake house. Nestled in the Monroe/Brown County hills on beautiful Lake Lemon. Serving families as a guest house since 2001 and was a residence since 1957 making it a very old lake house, nothing fancy! We love pets so bring your dog or cat or parrot!
Outside there is a boat dock and swimming/beach area, as well as a large yard and a panoramic view of the lake. Strawberry Fields is perfect for families and gatherings. It offers the ultimate in kid-friendly accommodations with its gently sloped access to the lake, and a large but flat backyard that is ideal for throwing Frisbee or playing croquet. There is a fire pit, a charcoal grill and plenty of chairs on the deck. Great place to watch the sunset!

This whimsical Monroe County getaway comfortably sleeps nine with a queen bed on the main floor, a queen, single bed and a trundle in the upstairs master bedroom,and a queen and single bed in the other upstairs bedroom.

It is conveniently located 11 miles from both Bloomington and Nashville. Note that after four guests there is an additional $7.50 per person charge. Check calendar for current prices, they fluctuate.
20 hours a week is spent on just this house cleaning, yard work, shoreline attention. We opened in 2001 and an average of $3000/ year has been spent on maintaining and improving property.

There is a shared dock, we might have our boat on one side and will come down to use it occasionally. The other side of the dock is available for a boat.
The outdoor pool listed is actually the LAKE! There was no way to check for lake.
We previously offered a hot tub but do not anymore,sorry.

Lake Lemon Stay

Great location and home. No hot tub as listed, not cleaned well, ceiling in kitchen leaked water when it rained. I cleaned everything I touched basically but this house would still be amazing for a low key summer break stay with friends to enjoy the lake.

Charming Lakeside Retreat

My wife and I rented this home while she was in Bloomington for some CE. It’s a great little spot on the lake with a large backyard and tons of quirky charm. It can be a little tricky to find which only adds to the sense of getting away.

House was not clean, a lot of insects and we found mice poop too. There spider webs , dust,and dog hair in every room . The bathroom and kitchen was not clean perfectly. The house has an amazing view but windows were dirty. The outside of house is dirty too. We didn’t go for cleaning but we had to clean fridge and bathroom before using it. Unfortunately we couldn’t sleep well as we found alive spiders on beds. Having one bathroom for 5 people can be challenging too. Ping pong table is good but again, surrounded by spider webs. Some areas smell fungi. The red Kayak was nice but again everything has spider webs. In general we had to clean everything we used to be sure to do not get sick. If you like clean environment and protect you health, look for something else. The owner is nice but she didn’t refund any cleaning fee and gave excuses and apologies but not enough to make our trip better. We think we will come back one day to Lemon Lake but not there. I have a lot of pictures and videos to proof. Contact me if you need them.

Great lake house

We came down to this property for a little girls weekend. It was amazing! We got to ride in The Kayaks and take our dogs down to the lake to swim. It was a very comfortable home to stay in. Definitely a true lake house and a wonderful place to visit. The owner was very friendly and wonderful to work with, definitely plan on coming back year after year

Very cute “hippy” house

We enjoyed our stay at Strawberry Fields. The house is very eclectically furnished with lots of kitsch- a style I love. The property itself was nice, right on a lake in a rural area. I thought it could use a professional deep-cleaning, but other than that it was very satisfactory for our family. I would definitely stay here again.

Just what we needed

We needed a place with multiple bedrooms for family weekend at IU and this home provided us with everything we needed. It was a quick 20 minute drive to campus plus we had space for our family and dog and a great view of Lake Lemon. If you are looking for something fancy, this may not be your answer, but if you need space for extra people, a pet, and enjoy lake life, this may be for you.

Girl's Trip

The lake view was outstanding. The kayaks allowed us to see the lake and sounding area better. We had a great time. We knew the place was an old farmhouse, but the house needs updating. There was a lot of stuff in the house which made it cluttered. My suggestion would be to remove most of the decorations in the living room and dining room to allow for space to congregate.

It was okay

The house and property were nice with the water front but as we were there, the owner of the house kept popping up During our stay conversating and having an Attitude And then on the day of departure was 11 o'clock. And the owner was there at 9:30 in the morning. Watching us as we were cleaning up. Then also One of our friends we're walking on the deck and fell through As many things of this property were very old and not well maintained. We had fun but I would never stay there again

Lake stay

There is a large back yard leading to the lake, which was great. The location right on the water was the highlight of the place. The indoor space is crowded and unorganized, did not have a working washer/dryer or dishwasher, and didn’t provide enough beach and bath towels/dish towels. While the view of the lake was great, the house itself was very dated and not well-kept. We made the most of it staying outside most all of our time and taking advantage of the multiple kayaks, rafts that were provided.

Great Lake Access

We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Be aware you must recycle all your trash, sweep and vacuum before you leave and the upstairs was hot. We bought fans and yard guard. The home has decades of deferred maintenance but my family thought it a great value. Nothing fancy - just a beautiful lake. Owner watches you from neighboring properties and does drive bys.

Fun trip

Had a fun couple nights away from home. Property is tucked away and secluded which we enjoyed. Things could have been cleaner. We found quite a few trash related items while cleaning before checkout that were not ours. Children’s outdoor toys and recreational items were not cleaned. Very rustic old cottage feel and experience. We had a lot of fun. We would stay again despite all of these things.
