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.
