About this property

This property checks ALL of the boxes for lakeside comfort: Four large spacious bedrooms, a fully-stocked kitchen, a massive lighted deck with a screened-in porch area, killer lakeside views, a large lush beach, a huge firepit area with firewood, and kayaks and SUP boards. Add in the fact that quiet Golden Lake boasts some great fishing, and you can see why The Sanctuary on Golden Lake is called by some "the best lake house in Indiana." You'll soon discover why families love this place and come back to stay again and again!
The property is perfect for families (8 people or less) on summer vacation, three couples who want an affordable and quiet getaway, small office/staff teams for planning retreats, and someone who wants quiet time away in a high-quality home. No matter the season or the weather, The Sanctuary on Golden Lake never disappoints!

ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES
The property has steps throughout, and the concrete and yard are uneven. The property is not accessible (currently) to those who need consistent firm footing or cannot do stairs.

Girls golf outing without clubs....LOL

Nice property and well stocked. Location was very good as we could get to Angola, Pokagon, Freemont and Auburn within a few minutes. We didn't use any of the outdoor stuff much because it wasn't warm enough for us oldies. However it looked like they had plenty for anyone to do!!

Absolutely Wonderful Getaway!

The home is absolutely perfect. Plenty of room with great views of the lake. The kitchen is open to the living room. The bedrooms are great size and comfortable. There is a nice TV room upstairs. The deck is perfect for relaxing and having meals outside. There are plenty of water toys - kayaks, paddle boards, floats and a canoe. I highly recommend this place for a quiet getaway. It was very clean and contact with the host was simple with quick replies. Would love to go again!!

Golden stay on Golden Lake

Five of us (sisters and husbands) gathered at "The Sanctuary" for a five-night stay. When the previous guests left early, the owners allowed us to check into the home earlier than the listed time! That was certainly appreciated. One bonus of staying here is that the neighbors are very friendly. We took walks several days, and homeowners stopped to say hello; people just driving by all waved to us. We took full advantage of the porch and large deck for reading and sharing meals.

About the host

Hosted by Terry & Kelly

Our kids "grew up " on Golden Lake as our family has had a place here for 20 years. We love to travel and host fellow travelers.! So, it's fun to combine our love for travel and Golden Lake and offer a relaxing place for others to get away. This is a creative relaxing place that we hope you'll love as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Golden Lake is known as "the grandparents' lake." We like that it's rural and quiet and that folks continue to move here and fix up these little cottages all around the shorelines.
