THE COTTAGE IN COATESVILLE Guide

Take a break from the city and unwind at this peaceful cottage in the country (located 45 minutes west of Indy).
The Cottage sleeps up to 8 where you’ll have access to the entire 1600 sq. ft. house, plus outdoor space which includes: wrap around porch with table and 4 chairs; backyard has firepit with 4 Adirondack chairs; attached lot has firepit with 4 chairs, outdoor grill, 2 picnic tables, 2 hammocks, kids’ slide, yard games, and well-lit at night!
We visited the Heritage Lake neighborhood in 2023 and felt like this was our home away from home! We aimed to create a space for people to get away to craft, read, and relax, and a place for families to gather together. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Please reach out to us if you need anything at all!
