Thank you for your kind review and comments. We are so happy to have guests who love our home, Stay Anchored, as much as we do. We hope to see you again next year!
We had a great time staying at this home
On the lake. Home was on the channel where we rented a boat and docked it. Great views and the pictures are definitely exactly like the home looked. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this property!
This property is perfect for the family with adults who want a little room to spread out .. with the two inside living rooms, spacious dining table and three outside spaces to enjoy, there are many ways to make this home the perfect getaway. Loved it, will be back!

Jill, we are so thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay! Please come back and see us again. The screened porch, front and back deck, and the fire pit are waiting for you! -Josh
We had a wonderful time at “Stay Anchored”. It was nice to know that Josh was only a phone call away if we needed anything. He checked in with us periodically to make sure all of our needs were being met. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean and it being right on the water made it so easy to enjoy our boat. The screened in porch faced the water and was a wonderful way to begin and end the day. The Weber grill was great & the kitchen was well equipped. Everyone in our family that came to visit said it was a beautiful home and perfect for a vacation.
The property was as listed; having the boat right there was a big plus. Also, for a family who loves to cook, this kitchen was well prepared with plenty of pots, pans, measuring utensils, etc. - very nice! We did not have to go out for anything

Thanks, Rhonda. We love sharing the updated 50hp pontoon boat with our guests. When in-season, we give our guests the option to rent the boat for an extra cost, competitive with marina’s, after booking our home. We are so pleased you enjoyed the home and boat. We strive to keep “Stay Anchored” clean and in top operating condition. Please come see us next year!
This was our 2nd time at “Stay Anchored” and we will likely return again. Josh is the most attentive host we’ve ever had. Just excellent. The location is very peaceful with a very nice lake view. There are several great sitting areas both inside and out.
I grew up vacationing on Tippy with my family, and enjoyed a few day get away at "Stay Anchored" with my son and his GF, making new memories and hopefully new traditions. Josh bent over backwards to be accommodating and the property was very well stocked and comfortable. We look forward to coming back!
My husband and I needed some time away to relax and Stay Anchored was just the place. We love to have our pontoon right outside in the water and ready to go when we want to enjoy the lake. It makes it so much more enjoyable.
Josh was a great host.

We are so pleased to hear you had a great trip, we would love to host you again soon!
My family and I had a great time at this cottage. The cottage itself has everything you need…. We had plenty of room for us 4, plus entertained family from out of town (still get we had plenty of space). It is at a great location on the channel, and there was plenty of room for our Mastercraft NXT22. Josh was an excellent host, and was great to communicate with. Highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit Tippy!
Looking for waterfront to do some fishing. Boat didn't run but had a great time sitting on the screened porch. Watched the Indianapolis 500 on the big screen TV.

So sorry to hear your boat wouldn’t run but glad to hear you made the best of it! Come back and visit again.
We found this home updated with class and character. It was so refreshing and cozy. The furniture and the bed were very comfortable. The linens were fresh and lovely. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything you need to prepare and serve meals. The host was very helpful and friendly. He wanted to make sure that every need was met. He made communication with him easy. We were very blessed to have found this place and enjoyed staying there.
Perfect spot for a family getaway. Large windows with great views of lake and canal. Good-sized kitchen with plenty of food prep tools and utensils. Has three bathrooms, one with tub/shower and one with just shower. (Listing was unclear on this.) Conversion between sun room and third bedroom was quick and easy. It had adequate privacy, and heavy curtains kept room dark for sleeping past sunrise. Owner Josh was courteous, thoughtful, friendly and flexible. Really enjoyed it.
The house was very cute and very clean.
We loved the location, it's right off of the main lake area but still close to the surrounding lakes. It's basically 5 mins from anywhere on the lakes.
The house is well stocked with supplies, especially the kitchen. I brought my own ninja skillets, then happily discovered ninja skillets in the kitchen.
The kitchen also has every implement from a blender to a bread maker. Silverware, dishes & utensils, down to toothpicks and sandwich baggies.
Just bring your food, drinks & ice and the kitchen is ready. The screened in front porch was comfy to sit on too.
Josh was a great host and very easy to communicate with before, during & after our stay.
We will definite try to book again whenever we come back for a stay.

You were kind guests and fun to speak to. So glad you enjoyed your stay! We would be eager to have you back anytime.
We loved the location of the quiet channel but really great lake view. The home is very well furnished with lots of different areas for relaxing both inside and outside. Very comfortable king bed. Josh was a true pleasure throughout the process. He is sincere about wanting to make everything the best for his guests. We will be anxious to return!
Beautiful and fun lake. Place was very clean and well taken care of. Simple and perfect. Extremely nice neighbors and neighborhood in general. Dock, patio, porch, deck, etc all in excellent condition and great hang outs as well.
Loved our stay here at Lake Tippy! The cottage was cute yet surprisingly had lots of room! The screened porch as awesome morning coffees and the back deck was great for outdoor bbq Super close to the kitchen.
The little firepit with a massive amount of firewood was a plus too!
Lastly, a few of the neighbors we met will forever be lifelong friends! Super cool owner too! Very accomdating! 25 night stay will never be forgotten! 10 Stars-not 5

About the host
Hosted by Josh Nix
My family has been residents of Lake Tippecanoe for more than 50 years, We love summers at the lake. I'm a financial advisor, my wife is a preschool teacher. We live in Fort Wayne, Indiana, we are involved in our community and in our church.
Why they chose this property
My grandparents first purchased a home on Lake Tippecanoe in this neighborhood, Du-Cu-Nee Village, in 1967. They upgraded to another nearby home in 1972. That home remained in the family until 2024. We are thrilled to be able to continue to enjoy the Du-Cu-Nee Village and our precious neighbors and share them with you. 3 of our neighbors attended our wedding more than 20 years ago, one has since passed, and the other 2 neighbor’s children now own the family home. These are truly lifelong relationships.
What makes this property unique
4 years of renting, and we have never received anything but a TOP review, all 5 stars. We truly attempt to make you feel as though you’re at home. Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, plastic zip-lock bags, included. Hand soap at each of the three bathroom sinks, and hand soap and dish soap at the kitchen sink. 1 kitchen sponge. We provide dishwasher tabs, at least 1 for each night of stay. We provide plenty of coffee filters, several Keurig K-kups, extra toilet paper and paper towels. We communicate well and quickly with our guests and want your vacation to be special. So honored to have many guests return each year!
