Relaxing Family Getaway

My husband and I and our two adult daughters enjoyed our stay at Bellevue Cottage. It was so peaceful and quiet! The cottage is clean and comfortable. We enjoyed time on the water—fishing and relaxing one day in the pontoon and taking the kayaks out several times. We also took day trips to Shipshewana and Winona Lake. We loved the space and the relaxation it provided for our special family time together.

wonderful in everyway

Everything was great, one problem though: the dog. There was no place to walk or run or even feel free in a back yard but even it would not be on a leash there is no security for a pet. Also since we have a sail boat, Loon lake would be better for us. So if you can move your beautiful cottage there, we would be your permanent customers.

2nd stay this summer

We 1st stayed over Memorial Day and booked again for Labor Day weekend. This property has everything one would need for a relaxing weekend. The property is clean and the bed in the primary bedroom was really comfortable. They really thought of everything. We will be back.

A Comfortable, Private, Peaceful, Paradise!

We appreciated the boat launch along the home. It sure made carrying the canoe to the lake much easier. That was a pleasant surprise! The furniture and beds were very comfortable. The home is equipped with lots of wonderful extra special touches that made our stay even more special! The large refrigerated water filter was a huge hit with us. We also appreciated the "lily pad," we had a great time lounging on it during a soft rain one morning! The lake was perfect to canoe and Kayak! Great time was had by all! Definitely recommend staying here. Greg was an added bonus, he was very helpful and fun to chat with!
