Beautiful location

Enjoyed sitting by the lake every morning, just outside the door. Very quiet location but still close to town. House had everything we needed, beds are super comfortable, huge sunroom overlooking the water. Hosts were great. We would definitely stay again!

Another wonderful time

Our fourth time renting this beautiful cottage on Elkhart Lake. Plenty of room for six adults and two little ones. Newer stone patio to enjoy the lake view from the shade. Deck with room for chairs and kayak storage. Lots of space inside to cook, eat, and relax. Thank you for another wonderful long weekend!

Fabulous Lake Home Getaway

Our family had a wonderful time at this property during our vacation. The home had ample space on a variety of fronts -- bedrooms for sleeping, kitchen for preparing meals, living room and family room spaces for relaxing and playing games. The lakefront and dock were exceptional for sipping coffee in the morning and a glass of wine as the sun set. The owners were incredibly helpful and friendly. They provided notes and directions all over the house so we could find and operate things easily. If we needed anything during our stay the owners were responsive and attentive. We highly recommend this vacation property and look forward to staying there again!

Relaxing stay right on the lake.

Classic lake house vibe — clean and four bedrooms gave us plenty of space to spread out. Owner very easy to communicate with. Lots of open space to hang out and beautiful lake views! Would stay here again.

Just what we needed!

My family was looking for a Covid-smart get-away before summer ended. We were hoping for a place to relax together, take a break, swim and splash, fish off a pier, watch the sun rise and set, take a few hikes, etc. We found just what we were looking for. The host was very friendly and easy to work with, check-in was super easy, the house had plenty of rooms and outdoor spaces to be together and apart. There were several wonderful sitting areas outside around the lake which were peaceful and comfortable. The water in the lake is clear and good for swimming. Lots of little blue gills and little bass, so while we didn't catch any big fish off the pier we caught dozens of little fish; the fish were so enthusiastic, sometimes we caught fish when there wasn't even bait on the hook. We all had a good time and definitely look forward to returning. PS, the host told me that one of my daughters left a swim suit at the property after we checked out and the host (who was so nice from the get-go) happily mailed it back to us the next day. Thank you!

Wonderful People Wonderful Place

We had a wonderful stay and would love to go back. A small group of us were in town for the weekend and we all agree that this was the best trip any of us have taken together and I believe it was almost entirely due to our wonderful accommodations.

Excellent location, beautiful views of the lake from the cottage, the new patio, or the pier. Inside is clean, with plenty of space for families. Great communication with owners. Elkhart Lake is a quaint village with restaurants and shops.

Excellent locaton, beautiful views of lake, spacious dock, lovely landscaping.

We had family members from 6 to 89 and everyone had a good time. We cooked all our meals on site in fully equipped kitchen. Location is very private which was a nice surprise..
