I really enjoyed the location being just a block from the lake and within walking distance of parks, trails, the college, a farmer’s market and fun shops. The host had great taste and decorated the house in seasonal decor. Just right for our party of 3.

My son and I stayed here for family weekend at Grace College. We also brought our pup. We just loved it. A quiet street and well appointed. We particularly loved the fireplace since the first snow of the season happened while we were here. So beautiful. We watched football and played board games and ate great food at local restaurants. We will definitely stay again… Probably just leave the dog at home next time.

Winona Lake was a gem. It was the perfect town for our little get away. Boutique stores, trails and history, great food (can recommend River coffee shop) and Oak and Alley restaurant (Warsaw). Pottery store holds classes. And the wagon Wheel theatre held their youth production. Amazing talent. The Trailside BNB was the perfect venue for our stay. The owners made you feel very welcome. The little touches - brochures, games, and so much more made our stay feel spa like. Clean and cozy. We both enjoyed the front porch and the propane fireplace, in the chilly fall evening. Many thanks to our hosts We hope to come back, again.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Rodman

Host profile image
Our family lives locally in the Warsaw area. We enjoy the charm that Warsaw and Winona Lake offer and we have enjoyed living here for many years (as well as growing up here.) We enjoy the trails and outdoor recreation paired with the great boutique shopping and great dining in Winona Lake and we love for others to get to experience this wonderful town, too!

Why they chose this property

What makes this house great is that you can walk out the front door and have easy access to the trails, the lake, the park, the village, and all that Winona has to offer. The front porch offers wooded views but you're just a stone's throw from everything!

What makes this property unique

This recently renovated home celebrates the culture of Winona Lake - the trails, lake, and community - and gives a nod to the charm you can find here. Its open-concept space and two bedrooms offer room to relax and feel at home with a fireplace indoors, a gas fire pit on the large front porch, or a wood fire pit in the back yard. Come find serenity and be in the heart of all the action in Winona Lake!
