Sitting on 22 acres of beautiful Indiana land, Scenic View Lodge and the Hickory Suite overlook Hoosier National Forest and the gleaming shoreline of Lake Monroe. Ideal for those looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, Scenic View is the perfect spot to sing around the campfire, gaze up at the stars, and host sweet summer barbecues. Lake access is within three miles of the home, where you can swim, fish, and boat. Additional shopping, dining, and entertainment options are less than 10 miles away.

Splashed with natural light, the interior of Scenic View Lodge's main house combines charming rustic elements with modern conveniences. The chef of your group will have no issues utilizing the full kitchen's stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space. When it comes to dining, the expansive formal dining table and in-kitchen table are well-suited to host family-style meals. After your meals, gather in the family room for movie viewings, board game competitions, and tasty cocktails - prepared at the stand-alone bar. The bedrooms are equally comfortable and offer easy access to the bathrooms.

The cozy interior of the Hickory Suite features high ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and a well-equipped kitchen. The wooden desk is a pleasant spot to catch up on your reading or tune into a remote work project.

Additional interior perks this property has include a jetted tub, a private washer/dryer, ample storage space, and internet access.

As the sun's yellow, orange, and pink hues begin to flood the sky, head for the scenic hot tub - just in time to watch the stars make their dazzling appearance.|

Plenty of space and beautiful view
The house has 5 areas with a bathroom where different family groups can sleep. It also has 3 refrigerators. The view of the lake and trees is beautiful and peaceful. There are some places you have to go up and down steps to get to them and three of the bedroom groupings are upstairs.

There were 17 people that stayed at the house, 5 different families, 9 adults and 8 children. Ages ranged from 3 months old to 65. It was a perfect set up so everyone could have their own space and bathroom. Very clean. Beautiful setting! Very pleased!
