Places to stay in Shelbyville

I used to live on Vandalia Lake, so I knew what to expect from the location - but the house is much nicer than pretty much anything else you'll find in Vandalia. It was the perfect place to spend the weekend while celebrating my granny's 82nd, and it's very likely we'll rent it again in the future, assuming it remains available for that purpose. The main living/kitchen/dining area is wide open and great for hanging out without feeling cramped, and the screened balcony/patio is a lovely place to enjoy the outdoors without being forced to "enjoy" the bugs. Everything is light, airy, modern, and well-maintained. This isn't one of those listings where the photos look great and the reality is worn and dirty - what you see is what you get.

My family had a wonderful stay at the lake house. All details were accurate, everything was very clean and in working order. Beautiful view of the lake. Everything we needed.

My family rented the house for a couple of days for a quick family reunion. The house was great, had plenty of space for all of us. It had everything you could need and was well equipped. We are hoping to make this an annual event and this is our house of choice.

Happy to stay in this place again, great hosts, we will definitely be back

This is our second time staying here as a family. There are several reasons we came back: check in and out is very easy; the space accommodates our extended family very well; there is direct lake access though you have to be aware the path is “natural“ and as Doug has said in other reviews, they do not have control over improving the path; the space was very clean and all the essentials are provided; Doug is very responsive and got back to us very quickly when we had minor questions! We would highly recommend staying here, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the time we want to come back😁

We have stayed at Kristen's place multiple times now with our pets and it is our go to in the area. Waterfront cottage with an up north feel, close to shopping, restaurants and easy access to the highway. We will definitely be back again and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice getaway or even a quick overnight stay when passing through the area.

We had a wonderful stay at Mary’s place. Her home was exactly as described and pictured. She thoughtfully stocked it and made it feel like a pampered resort. My family couldn’t have been more comfortable or at home. Mary was awesome and her home beautiful. If we’re ever traveling through again - we’d stop and stay just for the enjoyment. Highly recommend!

My husband and I spent two nights in this cottage with two of our close friends. The location is fantastic, quiet, and very private … it is located only a couple minutes drive to the quaint town of Sullivan, but you would never know with how private as it feels ! Marissa was very helpful. Anytime I reached out, (which was several) her responses were quick and helpful every time. At one point we had a glitch with the dryer knob and she and her husband showed up promptly and took care of the problem. Everything went smoothly for the rest of the time we were there. The house is immaculate, and all of the thoughtful touches are spot on. We have stayed at several Airbnb‘s and I believe this is one of my favorites! The kitchen is very well stocked with high-quality items and we never needed anything that wasn’t available. We prepared three meals each day and had all th supplies we wouldhave used at home. It looks exactly like the pictures and everything was modern and in great condition.
