We loved everything about this property. It is very peaceful and beautiful. The home itself was so comfy and cozy. We especially enjoyed the game room in the detached garage. So much fun. We didn’t get to utilize the kayaks or the fire pit but we are looking forward to returning to this beautiful place on the lake soon .

Host was attentive to a question we had. We loved sitting on the deck and using the kayaks. It was clean and well equipped. The area was fun to visit. There isn't a washer/ dryer or TV which was more than fine for us. We enjoyed the lake. Check out the Blue gate music hall an. d performing arts center. Thank you

We totally loved this place and want to come back next year. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed except a wine bottle opener, there was plenty of TP, paper towels, plates. It actually was the BEST Vrbo place I've ever stayed in. The Lake view was wonderful. The only complaint we had was that it's right next to a Lake access and someone fishing there on Friday and Saturday nights till at least midnight. Other than that...we didn't even get to play in the game room which we hope to do the next time.

This place has everything imaginable! If you need it, it has it. (It does not have a tv, but we loved that!) This is one of the best vrbos we have stayed at. The house is updated and very clean! It rained a bit during our stay so having all of the games in the garage was a huge plus, my wife loved the massage chair. The lake is nice and peaceful. My son and I enjoyed fishing and kayaking. The covered porch was another amazing feature. We enjoyed waking up and having our morning coffee outside. The hosts were so friendly and we 100% will be back!

Tidy, welcoming cottage with a big deck looking out over the lake. It was a great place to unwind and relax while waiting to have some work done on our RV at a local manufacturer. The pumpkin vine bike trail is very close to the cottage and we were able to follow it all the way from shipshewanna to Goshen. Beautiful scenery all along the way

This place is totally beautiful. Our family had a great time there, we have grandchildren and great grandchildren and they all found their comfort zone. The deck is amazing we enjoyed just sitting out there so calm and quiet. The guys caught lots of fish and the kids loved the game room. We will definitely be coming back soon. The beds were amazing also. We definitely will be back soon
