Each of the two bedrooms has a queen bed, the loft looking over the great room has 4 twin beds.
The vaulted ceiling great room has a lake stone wood-burning fireplace. Start your morning with a paddle on the provided kayak. Visit the historic Culver Academy on Sunday afternoons for their military parade and famous Black horse troop of Presidential inaugurations. This glacier-made spring fed lake supports fishing, skiing, tubing & jet skiing. The dock has available an available lift for rent should you bring your own boat.

A gem at Culver by the lake
It was the easiest and most positive experience to rent this property! Once I selected the house and processed the paiement, Janet ( the owner) quickly responded to my message . I prefer talking via phone and Janet called me right away. The home is delightful in front of the lake. We made great memories!

Memories of Culver!
Wonderful time spent close to the lake, a pier and all the trimmings! This is a perfect spot for two couples and up to four children. The kitchen was well stocked as was the washing machine and dryer area. We were steps from the lakeAnd we couldn’t of had a better time. thank you

About the host

Hosted by Janet Ball Starkey

Host profile image
The property was first bought by our grandfather William C. Ball from Muncie, during WWII while my father William (Bill) Ball attended Culver Military Academy and my Aunt Lucina Ball Moxley mourned the lost of her first husband to the war. My siblings, Julie, Chip & John Ball and myself, Janet Ball Starkey, purchased the property in 2009 from our father who owned and maintained it for over 30 years. We all have a long history of wonderful memories growing up spending our summers at the lake.

Why they chose this property

My children along with my siblings children have also grown up with fond memories on the lake. I can honestly say all the cousins are more like brothers & sisters because of these lovely cottages that were provided for them during the Summers. It's been one of the most valuable times spent together with family I treasure dearly. I hope it would be so for your family & friends as well! By renting it out we hope to off set the costs to secure the cottages for the future generations of family

What makes this property unique

From the large lawn, you can walk straight out to the dock with no steps like many of the lake houses. Swimming is easy waste or chest deep at the end of the dock. Swing or nap in the lake side hammock & have a bonfire in the stone fire pit at night.
