Perfect, cool place for the two of us even talked about coming back to check it out for the summer due to the fact it was winter and very cold pleasant place. Thank you for the stay.
Very peaceful little home with a wonderful view of the lake.

Beautiful view
Location and beautiful views of the lake and sunsets from outdoor/sun porch made for relaxing stay. Short drive to all there is to do in Shipshewana was convenient. Cottage furnishings are dated.
This place is amazing! Right off of the lake and the owners are so amazing they responded so quickly! There's plenty of toys and linen! The lake is clean and great!
Host provided everything needed for a pleasant stay. House was clean, pretty, well-equipped, just feet from the lake. Beds were comfortable but one was really high off the floor. Porches were pleasant. I would recommend this place. Husband and I stayed for 3 days in Spring.
It is a little cottage right up against a lake. The beds and bedding were comfortable, and the kitchen was well supplied, including a starter of coffee pods. It could have been cleaner, but overall it was a good stay.
Looking for a special quiet place to spend time with my daughters for a mother's day getaway, I chose the perfect spot. It was everything I hoped for, comfortable, cozy and right on the water. Perfect!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property. It was clean, and so peaceful. It was right on the lake with many lake toys to play with. We would definitely love to go back. The host was very easy to get a hold of.
My husband and I wanted a quick getaway for our 10th anniversary and this was perfect! We had no issues getting into the property and the owner was very prompt in answering any questions we had. It’s a nice quiet lake and we enjoyed paddle boarding and just watching the sunset.
The cottage felt so warm and welcoming! The cottage met all our needs: stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, open living space.
Beautiful view of the lake and sunset. The lake was so clean and quiet. The host answered all our questions promptly. Highly recommend this peaceful and relaxing cottage!!
Very nice little and quiet lake house! The location was perfect and convenient for the activities we had planned in Shipshewana. We would love to stay again. Hostess answered any questions in a timely manner. We would recommend this hostess/house. Thanks for a great stay.
Small little house on the lake. The lake is beautiful. 2 small bedrooms. The bedrooms have newer floors. Good water pressure in shower. Most likely best used as a summer rental where what you want is a beautiful view of the lake.
We loved the small lake and also…what do you use on your towels? We want to get that!! The cottage is very comfy and loved all the ceiling fans as well.

Disappointed by cleanliness
Upon arriving late in the evening, we first had to clean. (Ran the vacuum to clean up popcorn throughout, scrubbed down the dirty fridge and tables and counters. Swept the bedroom floors into piles of dirt.) Quite disappointed since most previous ratings gave positive comments on cleanliness. The lake view was perfect and the location awesome! Appreciated the fresh flower touch with a Happy Anniversary sign. This property has such potential, but needs a handyman’s touch to fix things.
I highly recommend Sunset Cottage! As late as I made the reservation I'm surprised it was still available in late July! My family and I wanted a lake vacation, and we were not disappointed!
South Twin Lake is located just outside the small town of Howe, IN. It is a clean, clear, "no wake" lake. My family enjoyed swimming, kayaking (kayaks and paddleboards were provided!), and watching turtles in the lake. There was a floating raft for us to use, too.
Check in was simple. The cabin was clean, the beds were comfy, we had satisfactory appliances to enjoy cooking for ourselves, and the porch was a gem! 6 of us (2 adults, 4 children) stayed comfortably.
Sturgis, MI and Lagrange, IN are close by for shopping and/or dining.
Contacting the host during our stay was easy, and the host was prompt in responding.
Note: the pictures presented with this listing are accurate! It really is that nice, and that relaxing! The porch faces west so you will get sunsets over the lake! All family members agreed that they would like to stay here again!
