About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Rustic, rural, relaxing, family friendly stay! Excellent location 5 min to I74.

Built in 2013, Water's Edge is a secluded, warm, & rustic 2nd story home situated above a horse barn turned epic HIGH BARR Real Estate office with perhaps the best view in the county! Enjoy the sunrise over the pond from the 12'x30' deck, or the animals grazing to the south. The Farm Stay is entertainment central boasting of a large open living room/full kitchen with a wood pellet stove for your enjoyment on those cold winter nights! Not to mention catch&release fishing, corn hole, tetherball, volleyball, building a bonfire, or grilling out! Ask about our homegrown ground beef!

The space
All of the recreational amenities are visible from the house and furnished deck. You may find the sporting equipment and chairs for the fire pit conveniently located in the storage room on the main level just past the steps leading to the apartment. Firewood is stacked near the burn pit for your convenience.

The living area, and each bedroom are individually climate controlled for your comfort.

Guest access
Waters Edge Racing Stables boast of the 2 Bedroom home above the former stables. Incredible views in all directions including the 1.5 acre stocked pond. Two flights of steps lead you to the entry door with a lit key pad for your convenience. Please park on the dedicated gravel drive directly in front of the steps leading to the apartment. Do not park on or block the driveway leading to the back of the barn or behind the barn.

Guest Interaction
My personal residence is located on the same 20 acre property so it is very likely you may see me, but if not, I will always be available by phone or text.

During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Indiana Live!. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a fireplace in the vacation home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine, and fireplace
  • 7 minutes by car from Indiana Live! and 7 minutes from Indiana Grand Racing and Casino

Overall everything was nice. Only wish would be for more swing/rocker seating on the beautiful balcony. Would have liked to have swing or movable rockers facing the wonderful Eastern view.

Relaxing Snowy Scenic Stay
We had a 3 hour drive through a snow storm but were very happy to get to Waters Edge and take a minute to breathe. It was a beautiful snowy scene looking out over the pond and seeing the horse buck & gallop about. Beds were incredibly comfy & sheets were very soft! Home was clean and welcoming. Easy entry instructions. We really enjoyed our quick stay and would definitely love to stay here in the summer months. Thank you for the simple touches of snack bars, water & pop in the fridge. Floors are pretty creaky and loud throughout the home but that didnt bother us.

We came in for a wedding and had a great time relaxing in the countryside in the downtime. My boy found a frog and became friends with the horse. Nice and easy.

Relaxing getaway
We loved that the living spaces were all on one level so we could hear the kids in their bedroom if anything was needed. Decor simple and tasteful. Peaceful surroundings, saw many types of birds, good view of sky/clouds out the side/kitchen windows for sunset. There is a gate at top of stairs so kids can play on porch, which is nice as well. Close to the freeway, but didn't hear freeway noise inside the home. We had a great time!

Quick Stop
Beatiful location. We stopped on our way South from Western WI to TN & this was far more peaceful, comfortable, & refreshing way to spend our night rather than a typical hotel. Couldn't have had a more beatiful setting to wake up and sip coffee on the East facing deck! Was a great place to rest for a night, and would be a beautiful place to spend a few days if you had something going on in the nearby area.

Country get away!
This place is just beautiful! Spotless, comfortable, serene place to stay. The bed was so comfy, furnishings were great. Fireplace was so cozy. Beautiful fall views. Would be a fun place for a family to enjoy the outdoors. Heaters a little noisy in the bedrooms. Traffic noise from expressway, but not too intrusive. Not clear how to find controls to start pellet stove. Super nice when we did! All in all, a beautiful country get away.

Lovely vacation spot
We enjoyed our stay at this extremely clean, well kept property. All communication with owner was quick and the views from the home are beautiful. The home had everything we needed. I enjoyed the comfortable bed and the high quality linens in the bedding and towels. My husband and son enjoyed fishing in the pond. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Alisha.
