Indiana is not exactly a place known for its vacation potential; if you ask anyone who’s never been here what they think Indiana is, you’ll probably hear plenty about corn fields and farmlands. There’s so much more to this amazing little state than just agriculture, though – like some of the most beautiful lakes in the Midwest! Take, for example, this stunning vacation home rental near Indiana Beach (an absolutely awesome amusement park on a lake), where you can melt all your stress away on the private shores right in its backyard. Let’s go!

Welcome to this gorgeous lakefront home in Monticello!

From the front, it looks like an unassuming, nice little family home in a cute neighborhood - but it's what's out back that REALLY makes it worth it.
...oh, nothing, just some amazing lake views and a private dock.

Seriously, if this was a quiet little shack next to the lake, we'd love it anyway just for those views. And the opportunities!
The house itself is rustic and very homey; it's elegant without overdoing it.

It really does feel like a home away from home, and the more you revisit the place, the more homelike it'll become.
