About this property

CHARMING & ECLECTIC LAKEFRONT COTTAGE- Kayak.Grill.Fish.Bonfire.Bike #Lakelife

Lake-Views A Go-Go!! This Hidden Gem has beautiful views from the living room, the primary bedroom, and from any of the seats on the lakefront deck.
Fishing Pier.. and oversized deck with loungers and chairs are perfect for a lazy day by the water or on the water with fishing boat and two kayaks provided. Outdoor dining set, Charcoal grill (charcoal provided) and pretty string lights make a sweet setting to grill and have dinner by the lake. Fire pit is close by in case it gets chilly and marshmallows need roasting. Wind down your night by the water with a little stargazing to the sounds of croaking Bullfrogs.
Looking for a bit of adventure.. take a bike ride around the lake (bikes available upon request) or load up the car with a picnic and head 15 min up the road to beautiful Potato Creek State Park where you’ll find a quaint beach, miles of walking trails, and a large lake with beautiful Oak trees to shade under with a good book. Or head to downtown Laport just 10 min away for vibey restaurants, coffee houses and charming boutiques.
All this = A great choice for a fun getaway and sweet memories that will last way longer than your stay

A few things-
*Our cleaning service does a really amazing job at keeping the home immaculate so you can enter worry free. They cover the basics such as laundry, vacuuming, windows and re stocking toiletries. We do ask that you take all food and drink with you when you leave.. and we operate on the old adage that please “ If you make a mess.. clean the mess” our housekeeping will handle the rest.

*Quiet hour after 9:00 pm.. Please. We are a very quiet neighborhood with neighbors close on both sides.. please be respectful of that and keep noise level to a minimum. If complaints are received your stay may be modified and that would just be a drag

*No additional guests beyond those included on reservation
*All refunds are processed in accordance with the platform's cancellation policies: however, credit card processing fees will not be refunded for cancellation’s made through VRBO direct bookings
*Parking is in front of the 3 bay garage with brown doors.
*Property access details supplied once booked
*We take great pride in keeping the space clean for everyone.. and ask that you please leave your shoes at the door and off furniture.

The view of the lake out the back window caught my eye,and the whimsical decor in each room. The comfy beds are a plus,and so nice and quiet. Everything we needed was here, except food and clothes, of course. The host was very accommodating and available if needed.Laporte Indiana is close by and has a lot to offer.

The house is on the lake. Very comfortable and we loved the decor. The views from the living room windows were wonderful. We hiked in Potato Creek State Park and took in a Notre Dame football game. Both were about a 30 minute drive.

The house and hosts were great. We had two adults and two seven year olds for a quick fishing and swimming trip. We caught lots of fish off the pier, went swimming at the public beach two doors down, and had a great time. Everything was clean and lots of nice small touches from the owner. Definitely recommend!

We had an amazing time at the lakefront cottage! As a family of five, finding a place that everyone enjoys can be a challenge, but this cottage was absolutely perfect for us. The moment we walked in, it felt welcoming and comfortable. We spent so much time in the living room, where the huge windows frame the lake. Even when we weren’t outside, we still felt connected to the water, and there were countless moments when we’d simply sit and enjoy the view. The yard is right on the lake and couldn’t be better for families. We spent hours on the deck and dock, fishing , enjoying the sunshine during the day and watching the sunsets in the evening. The kayaks, tubes, and little boat were a huge hit with our family.Evenings around the fire pit were great. There’s something so relaxing about sitting by the water, roasting s’mores, watching the sun go down, and just enjoying being together. The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and every one of us slept great. We also visited during a significant heat wave, with temperatures much higher than normal, yet the cottage stayed cool and comfortable the whole time. Finally, the host was wonderful to work with ,Friendly and responsive,This cottage gave our family exactly what we needed: a place to slow down, spend time together, enjoy the lake, and make memories.

I can’t express how relaxing this charming cottage is. Such a beautiful location on the lake. The details in the home are so cool and comfortable, making us feel right at home. The owner was extremely accommodating. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. We hope you will host us in the future. We loved our stay! Oh and the beds were so comfortable. I am actually sad to return to my own bed.
