Nice getaway

Overall a great vacation. The house was clean and well prepared for our stay. The back yard/porch is 90% patio so very little room for kids to play. The location is also right next to the public lake access which should be noted.

Perfect quiet place with a great view

A group of us stayed here on our annual golf trip. We golfed through the day and then relaxed in the water and on the incredible patio. Great open sitting room and house is furnished with everything you need. Sara the owner was an incredible host and responded to messages quickly with anything we needed!

Perfect oasis

A few friends and I really enjoyed our stay here! The owner was very prompt and helpful on any questions! Very safe neighborhood and beautiful home, the back patio and big windows towards the lake were a favorite! Also made use of the kayaks when the weather straightened out! Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Really nice and clean all around, comfy beds and all! Felt like home!

Summer Vacay

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake! The property was exactly like the listing pictures and description. There was plenty to do! The kayaks and canoe were easy to access and we used them everyday. We had icecream in Howe and the kids played on the playground in the evening. Another day we spent the afternoon shopping in Shipshewana and the kids enjoyed the carousel. We will definitely be back!

Highly Recommend

We were so pleased with this property for our family vacation. The place itself is beautiful. Essentially brand new inside and out. Even the kitchen items seemed brand new. The house is spacious and includes 2 pullout couches. The breezeway was useful for keeping things for outdoors like fishing poles and tackle boxes. Out by the lake is excellent. You can fish from the dock, or the boat launch right next door. Included were a canoe and 2 kayaks plus everything you need to use them. The lake is a nice size and basically a no wake zone. Swimming is the only downside. You can swim off the dock, but there isn't any kind of beach or easy in and out of the water, but we used floaties and had a ball. Oh yeah, and there is a large firepit right there by the lake, which we used every night. Very quiet lake overall. You cannot go wrong with this place. Diamond in the rough for sure.

Lovely lake house in a quaint little town

We really enjoyed the lake views from this house, so very peaceful. Perfect amount of space for us, would have been great for a larger group too. Pristine home! We saw lake birds, geese, and one day the swans even made an appearance.

Brief family visit

We booked our stay last minute due to an unfortunate family event. We were very pleased with the accommodations and happy we were all able to stay together in such a lovely place. We do not get back to the area often. But may have to consider a summer trip to enjoy the outdoors and the lake.

Perfect

Perfect escape for a few days. A little cold to enjoy the lake but the view was beautiful. Cozy by the fire place. The setup was great for family with older kids. There are 2 accommodations with bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. The teens stayed in the renovated garage with TV and foosball. The adults were in the main house with comfy couches, fireplace, and lake views. Everything we needed was available. Newly renovated.

Pulling Competition

We came to Shipshewana MEC Center for a truck and tractor pull event - the property was great!! Due to the cold weather a couple of us considered staying at the house and watching the event via live stream!! that's how comfortable the house was - with the propane fireplace and stunning view (it was snowing great big flakes) The host answered all my questions before our trip and house was well stocked with towels - highly recommend - Thanks
