For Culver Academies winter and spring sport parents that are looking, The Vonnegut House has vacancies. Parents weekend, Reunion, Grad and prime summer weeks book years in advance. It's a historic destination in itself and is wonderfully convenient, residing only a few doors down Old East Shore Dr. from campus. Large enough to accommodate a couple families should you choose to split costs.

The Clemens Vonnegut, Jr. House is a historic vacation rental on Lake Maxinkuckee in Culver, Indiana.

Please don't blame any Politicans for this, we were planning this a while.. Ok, maybe blame that Vladamir guy in that brick fort by the Moscow River, we're Ok with that..He's kinda creepy anyhow..
Effective as of this publishing, The Vonnegut House is raising it's Summer Daily Rate to $945. in keeping with tradition, we will offer a volume discount of a few hundred dolalrs for a 7 day booking or more of $200, therefore $6615 will now be $6415 for day 7 and return to the normal rate for day 8 and beyond, subject to any agreement that can be arranged with the House Manager Carolyn Neubaur.
For years the VH has operated at pretty much a loss, and we want to be able to give people a great experince without breaking the bank for their family vacation, but the house needs love and has a lot of unexpected costs and debts to repay, like a douzie bill that came to hook The East Shore up to town waste water services during the epdemic, it had to be done but it hurt, or a large increase in our taxes. The only person we don't want to notice our charming improvements in the County Tax Assesor!!
As our goal is to keep you happy, please talk to us about anything you need along these lines, we are happy to consider any and all offers..we are in the business of business.
All deals already made are unaffected,.Call it an early bird special, and all other rates stay the same subject to future announcement here and on our web page.
Now maybe we can afford another ping pong table aorund here so that the kids will stop asking about it!!

The Vonnegut House would like to thank Jeffrey Baumgartner for stepping in at the last minute to be our artist in residence when the previous candidate started creating some unprofessional malarky that led to his dropping out ( use of Irish slang deliberate!).
Jeff on last minute notice accepted the opportunity was able to step in and spend a week at the house in April and make some nice art. As usual, he left us a piece of his work and we had a little show in his honor. Enclosed are pics from his stay, and previous work.
Fyi, he'll be back in Culver in late September to run a Culver Based Plein Air Painting event, the Culver Paint Out:

NEW PROJECT! And YOU can help and be part of this group effort.

Curating a collection of as many copies of the ROLL CALL (Culver Academies Yearbook) as we can obtain to be available for reflection by all at the Vonnegut House.

We give full credit and thanks to CMA grad and friend of the Vonnegut House, Bill O'Brien both for this great idea and a super generous donation to get us started with the first 11 volumes, highlighted in green below.

The partners and our manager Carolyn will do our part to try to obtain more. We also love the idea of this collective effort of individuals who are friends of the both the house and the Academy. Please hang onto your own sentimental copies, but perhaps there are volumes formerly belonging to friends or extended family that don't hold as many personal memories for you, that have been tucked away in a storage box? Or if you find any of these online and you support the project enough to purchase as a donation?

We are very excited to have these available for your next stay and hope you are too.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Vonnegut House... to you and yours...
