Happy Harbor: cute cottage 1 block from Indian Lake.

Welcome to the Happy Harbor at Russell's Point Indian Lake! This adorably finished Lake House cottage is ready for your next getaway.

Wake up to a cup of coffee at the cottage or head a few blocks to Gathered Grounds, our nearby artisan coffee shop.

Don't forget to walk the bridge at Sandy Beach and stop by The Donut Shop! Plan your day on the water thanks to Spend-A-Day Marina with boat rentals nearby or head out to Fox Island for the playground and beach. If you have your own boat, you're welcome to park on site and drop in at Lakeview Harbor up the road or we're also 1 block from the Indian Lake Yacht Club. Lots of local dining options and a yoga studio all within a few blocks.

Going out not your thing? This home also has everything you'd need to stay in and cozy up, either on the front patio with grill & fire pit or inside where the furnishings are comfy and lake vibes are strong.

High speed internet w/ smart TV and kids a play area with Nintendo to keep everyone entertained.

Location was convenient. Liked the modern kitchen and having 1.5 baths. The bedrooms are a bit tight. The open area is very well laid out and can handle 6 or more people comfortably. The owner communicated very clearly and well. I made a request to leave a bit later on check out day and she let me know within a reasonable time that the request could be accommodated. However, a few areas needed more cleaning attention: the shower bottom walls needed to be scrubbed better there was a pink haze on a portion of it, the floors were very dirty, and the outside table and chairs were dirty and had many cobwebs. So, overall nice property but needed a bit more cleaning attention in the areas mentioned.

Comfy cottage

The Cottage was very comfy and bright. Within walking distance to various food places, lake and Dollar General. The Bed was very comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed. The check in was very easy and we had no complications with directions. Easy drive to go see the other islands and to Bellefontaine shops. Neighbors was very friendly and not much traffic on street. Our senior pet was able to go in and out with no problem. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning again.

Birthday Dog Vacation

I came for my birthday and brought my two dogs - the cottage is absolutely beautiful and spacious. The bedrooms were super cute and the beds were comfy ! The decor is fantastic and very cute. I loved playing the Nintendo and having a fire right out the door was perfect! I made so many s'mores The area was fantastic and sooooo close to the donut shop ! I walked both my dogs to the water and we went to fox Island as suggested! Such a beautiful quiet spot ! The whole area is very dog friendly and the local food is great !! I definitely plan on coming back - I cannot say enough great things about my stay !

Lake Time

Inside good lake house.Kitchen is very nice. Tv and available apps is great.Sitting area could use a chair or recliner. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were fine but shower needs shut off repair it drips.Did not use kids room with video game and other games but looked like a lot to keep kids entertained.Outside needs some updating front patio needs some updating also. Just my opinion. It was very convenient for us because only a block away from Point Harbor.Would stay again.

We needed a place to stay for a long weekend in February. It was cold and snowy out but we had a nice warm cottage to relax in. No complaints. It is in a beautiful area with the lake nearby.

The cutest place!

Even though the place is very small, it is the cutest thing and perfect for our short weekend trip. Good quality items inside as well. The outdoor area feels very secluded with the trees across the street.

Quiet, quaint getaway

Happy Harbor was the perfect little bungalow getaway from my friend and I. Plenty of space to lounge, cook, and do some art together. Lots of choices for food and drink nearby - walking or short drives. Emily was great with communication.
