This property had a lovely view of the lake that we enjoyed from the kitchen as well as the main living area! The inside of the cottage was attractive with all the necessary things we needed for our stay.
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.
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 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.
We had a very nice time. View is great looking out front window. Second time staying here & very clean. Enjoyed fire pit both nights. Will definitely come back
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
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!
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!
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!
This was our 3rd stay here - we always enjoy it so much! The property is very clean and well taken care of. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with beautiful views, this is the perfect place!
After an extremely stressful year, we decided to try getting away for our anniversary to a location that we hoped was quiet and peaceful. Indeed it was!
So much nicer than staying in a hotel! Communication with owner was fabulous and house was updated and clean. The view was awesome! We will definitely stay again!
