Stay In A Cool Canvas Tent Overlooking A Private Lake In Indiana

So, here's something you don't hear every day: the Midwest is a pretty awesome place to live and/or visit, with plenty to do, see, hear, and experience. It's not boring at all, honestly - it's far from it. Of all the states that make up the Midwest, my favorite is Indiana. It's stunningly beautiful, and every nook and cranny of the state has something amazing to check out. While you're here, you'll need a place to hang your hat - and that's where the single coolest Airbnb in Indiana comes in.

Hidden away on a private lake in Jasonville is one of the downright coolest places to stay in Indiana.

In fact, it's SO cool that it's been named "The Coolest Airbnb in Indiana" by more than one outlet - pretty cool indeed! It's a clean, cozy little lakeside cottage that's both affordable and totally worth a trip out for. Come on in.

You'll find that the cottage is modern and up-to-date with amenities like a fridge, running water, a gas grill, and so much more.

It makes for an awesome respite from real life - even if just for a little while.

Discover your very own private dock, where you can fish or set out onto the water in one of the two kayaks available on-site.

Few things are more relaxing than a day spent on the water - so why not spend the whole weekend, week, or longer to be extra sure? Sounds like a plan to me.

The water is amazingly clean and clear, with several species of fish ready to catch (and release, please).

Once you're tired, you can retreat to the cottage and relax for a while. Though this little place sleeps four, I personally love it for a couples' outing or for a solo trip.

A few important things to note include the fact that you'll have to bring your own linens - so bedclothes and towels.

You'll also find that the kitchen is fully stocked with cookware and kitchen utensils (but you supply the food). Just four miles away is Shakamak State Park, and it too is worthy of a days' worth of exploration.

Jasonville isn't exactly known as the coolest getaway destination in Indiana...

...but maybe it could be. It's up to you.

For more information and to book your stay (which I strongly recommend you do well in advance), be sure to check out the official Airbnb listing for this unique lakeside cottage. Need more to do while you're here? Lake Shakamak is always waiting.
