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.

Relax & unwind at Lakeside Retreat

We had a great stay at Lakeside Retreat!! The house had everything we needed for our quick 3-day getaway. The beds & pillows were very comfortable and the house was clean and welcoming. The outdoor patio was fantastic!! We had a bonfire the first night and made use of the kayaks as well. The lake is calm & beautiful; I loved watching the turtles pop their heads up near the pier and the beautiful swan swimming across the lake was the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back!

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.

Peaceful retreat

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful lakeside home. The lake was full of wildlife: turtles, deer geese loons. We kayaked around the lake everyday. Such a peaceful area and we were close to Shipshewana so we were able to go a horse auction and a swap meet as well as some of the local stores. Sarah was quick to reply to all of my questions. We will definitely want to stay here again!

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

The Best Lakefront Rental I’ve ever stayed in

Everything was lovely. The rental was perfect for our family. The teenagers had their own living space and the adults stayed in the main house. I was able to cook all of our meals for the 4 days we were there. The stay was so good that my son had be to book the house again for the Summer time. We decided also every Christmas we will make it a tradition to come back to this particular Lakehouse.
