Morse reservoir is an all sports lake located just 45 minutes north of Indianapolis and ~3 hours from Chicago, Toledo, Columbus, Cincinnati, or Louisville; and ~4 hours from St. Louis or Detroit. There is no shortage of attractions on the lake and the surrounding areas including boating, golfing, hiking, shopping, and of course dining. There are 2 restaurants located on the lake with access from the water (The Boathouse & Wolfie's) and many others close by. The home itself is located perfectly within walking distance of the town of Cicero. There you will find great dining, entertainment, parks, and of course an ice cream shop for the kids. Many of the dining options in Cicero have outdoor seating.
Sleeping up to 14, the house is perfect for multiple families or large groups. The home consists of 4 bedrooms including the owner's suite with a private bath, walk-in closet, and access to the main deck (1 K bed). The other 3 bedrooms, located on the lower level are "The Bunk Room" (4 Q beds, 2 sets of bunks), "The Coastal Room" (2 Q beds), and "The Cottage Room" (1 Q bed). There are 2.5 bathrooms including the lower level bath with walk-in shower and a built-in sauna.
The real star of the home of course is the lake and its epic views! You will enjoy a fully furnished screened-in porch just off the dining area with views from the north end of the lake to the south. With a 40-foot deck off the main floor, you will have plenty of space to soak up the sun and enjoy the water!
When you're not enjoying your private lake access. Pony up to our custom wet bar positioned just off the main lower level and relax! Toss a few darts on our barroom dart board or cozy up to one of two fireplaces. Just steps off the lower living area is the outdoor porch with plenty of seating. Here you can directly access the water and the private dock, perfect for swimming (equipped with ladder), fishing, boating, or other water activities. We welcome you to bring your boat or rent one on the lake and tie-up to our dock.
Other amenities include wifi, washer & dryer, sauna, grill, 6 TVs equipped with cable, smart tv functions, or Chromecast. We also have a large driveway for 6+ cars. (Garage is not accessible to guests.)

Great House with awesome lake access
4.0 / 5.0
This is a great place to stay and I feel to be very picky! The neighborhood and lake views are epic! The house is spacious. We did feel the sunken living room was an obstacle. We had to falls and a trip over situation but we ended up moving furniture and block it. It was lit up and we had 14 adults and still managed to fall lol!. The bedrooms are great. They do very well at keeping enough towels etc. which we greatly appreciated! And thank you for having extra toilet paper...the small details that make travel easier make a big difference. The outside area we thought could use a little cleaning. Lots of cobwebs and dirt on the bottom level existing doors. Just needs a bit of attention. The host was so easy to communicate with. We loved it! Would come back in a second and would refer friends to for sure! We hope to visit again! Oh and we tried Wolfies for food and it was great too.

The property was very nice and clean. It was in a very good location that worked well as a gathering place for three generations of our family. We had a a special request that we communicated to the Host well in advance, and the Host was very gracious to work with us to find a mutually acceptable resolution to that request.

We had a business retreat for 3 nights and had a marvelous time at this lovely home. The view is wonderful and peaceful, the home had many convenient amenities and Chris was incredibly responsive and helpful. Will definitely stay here again!

Although the owner did his part to try and correct the wrongs. This property is neglected and in need of significant TLC. Missing light bulbs, missing table tops, no propane, missing outlet covers, urine smelling bedding and mattress, treacherous holes in the yard, missing baby gate, no top sheets on some beds, no blankets on others, not enough towels, refrigerator temperature problems were just a few of the issues we had to deal with.

The owner communicated very well with us and the property was clean and ready for our group. We stayed only a three nights with our FFA group while our National convention was in Indianapolis. Wish we had more time to enjoy the property and the town.

The house is perfect for a getaway with family/friends, nicely decorates, great location and the owner was very easy to communicate with, when we had an issue. Only thing to note is the refrigerator is finicky, we had a rough time keeping things cool and we ensured the doors were always closed tightly.

Great location, enough beds for everybody and a perfect setup to hold our small work gathering. Living room was a great setup to give a presentation while every person was comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

We all (7 adults and three kids) enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. Was comfy, spacious and clean. My 7 year old grandson LOVED the dart board. And I especially enjoyed evenings on the screened in porch, listening to the live music subtly drifting across the water from The Swan Dive Bar.

Great Lake House
We had a great stay at the lake house, the property was large enough for our group, we enjoyed the patio and lake views, and easily could walk to town. If there were any negatives, it would be the bed on the main floor was not that comfortable (very hard) and the neighbors were a little odd, but other than that, absolutely perfect and would stay here again.

Great Weekend
Thanks Chris for a great weekend get-away. Your place is awesome, very clean and in great shape. We especially enjoyed the comfortable, spacious decking overlooking the gorgeous lake. Hopefully we can visit again soon.

Great for families
Renting was easy! Chris was very attentive if we had any questions he was always quick to respond. If there were any issues he was making note of them to attend to those before the next renters. Overall it was a fun stay for 3 families to come together to celebrate family and the bunk room was a hit for the 7 kid cousins to share.

Weekend trip
The house was beautiful. Great view overlooking the lake. Wish we would’ve come during the summer. It was very spacious and had plenty of room for all 14 of us.

Great for family
This was a great place for my Indiana family to gather for a little get-together to celebrate the holiday season. The kitchen is spacious and well-appointed. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and visit. We had a great time here!

Great space for large family
It was largely a great experience. Great space, clean, comfy bedding, most furniture is quality. Large, well stocked kitchen. Lovely outdoor space.
The house is aging and needs some updates and repairs. Oven door that won’t stay shut and aging appliances. Squeaky floors that wake the downstairs guests as soon as the first person walks. Curtains that don’t cover and fit windows. The dining room chairs are unstable. Perhaps because the guests keep using them to prop the oven door closed.
Knowing the property we would still rent again if the price was in line with the age of the property and season. We are seasoned vacation home renters and have appreciation of the wear and tear a rental can endure. This property needs some love and attention.
Chris was very responsive and she allowed us a late check out on a holiday. So kudos to the homeowner for a nice house in a nice area and good communication.

Cozy Home Away From Home
We came here for National FFA Convention and stayed here because no hotels were available. It was such a nice house and had enough room for the students to hang out or rest when we had down time.

Exceeded expectations!
Perfect in every way! We stayed here with 14 family members and it was ideal. Even had a beautiful sunrise and sunset somehow! Views of the lake are beautiful! Everything about the house is wonderful!! Had absolutely everything we could possibly want.

Great house, great location and host.
We came to Indiana for our daughter's wedding and were able to have our immediate family stay with us. Communication with Chris, the owner, was great. He was responsive and very helpful with local information and any questions we had.
This is a beautiful house on the water and very close to a park and walkable to local spots.
I would highly recommend this rental for out of towners as well as those in the Indianapolis area looking to get away from the rat race for a bit.
Cicero is a gem of a town.

Wonderful Stay
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The home and lake were beautiful. The lake is very busy and wavy by the dock on the weekend but calm in the morning. We also enjoyed appetizers and Bloody Mary’s at The Boathouse across the lake which is walkable from the house. Would recommend a stay here.

Lake view amazing
Very spacious and layout made it nice for large group. View of lake on screened porch was amazing in morning with morning coffee. The only negative would be the steps on dock are mossy and slippery.....making it hard and dangerous to climb out of the water. Otherwise, enjoyed stay very much.

A great family reunion
We had a wonderful time as four families met up from across the country. The house was spacious enough for everyone to have their own space when they needed it and the outside seating was well used.
