It is a beautifully renovated cottage. It was so much fun porch sitting and neighbors are so friendly Very close proximity to several restaurants and boat rental company and walking trail. Owner was an excellent communicator and provided great information about the cottage and area. We so enjoyed our time!
Great house to stay in. However, if you bring a boat and you want to unpack it before you drop it in the water, the driveway and tiny street creates a serious problem.
Cousin's Women's Retreat. We had a wonderful time together. Very nice home. There were enough comfortable beds for everyone. Very Clean and well equipped.

Thank you Abby! I’m glad you all enjoyed your time here!
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. House was very clean and we loved the modern remodel of the interior. We enjoyed the outdoor porch. A little tight in the neighborhood with close neighbors but they were all friendly. The only part I would make more clear is the dock area is narrow and it was somewhat difficult to navigate with an inboard ski boat, but we figured it out. Lake is outstanding with beautiful water quality. Would definitely book again!
We had such a great time staying here on Lake Wawasee. We were able to bring our boat and have it right behind the house. The house was perfect for our group of 9 and had everything we needed. The location of the house is perfect as well, being close to town and walking distance to a coffee shop and restaurants. The host was very friendly and helpful. We are already looking forward to our trip back next summer!

Thank you Lindsay! You guys were amazing guests! We look forward to hosting you all next summer!
We had a wonderful time in this very up-to-date, immaculate house for our family get-a-way. There was plenty of room both inside and outside. We hope that it is available next year when we come back to our favorite lake. The location is great! The only downside is that it's very difficult getting a boat into the area. You do have great views of the lake from the deck. Thanks for sharing your lovely lake house.
The house has been updated with everything in mind. All of the subtle things made it spectacular for our group, such as: cornhole, the grill, boat dock, bunk beds, YouTubeTV, connect 4, the location to The Frog Tavern, AC units throughout the home that are able to be managed to that specific area. I was nervous our surf boat (ATX Type-S 20’) wouldn’t fit in the dock space, however it was just fine. The neighbors were very friendly as well.

Thank you Tyler!! You and your group are welcome back anytime! Thank you for leaving the house in excellent condition!!
We’re a married couple from Goshen, Indiana, with two children, ages 16 and 20. For the past 15 years, our oldest has taken us all over the country through competitive golf, so we’re always on the go—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Traveling is truly one of our greatest passions.
This is our fourth year hosting and managing this property, and we’re proud to care for several family-friendly homes around beautiful Lake Wawasee. We know how important comfort, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches are when traveling with loved ones, and we’re excited to help make your stay relaxing and memorable.
