Live & Love Life on the Lake!

Plan your next getaway at our cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bath sunset cottage just footsteps from the shores of the South Twin Lake. Nestled deep in the quiet country setting of Howe, Indiana, it’s the perfect place to come if you’re looking to disconnect from the daily grind or spend some time with friends and family swimming, fishing or just relaxing.

Kickback in our sunroom with amazing waterfront views from every angle or lounge and unwind while watching the large flat screen TV in the living room. Internet is provided. The house is comfortably furnished and comes with an window a/c unit in the main living area and ceiling fans throughout the home to keep you cool in the warm months. With queen beds in each room and a sleeper sofa, the space sleeps up to 6 people. The kitchen comes fully loaded with basic kitchenware, dishes & silverware, a standard refrigerator & stove, as well as a microwave and coffee maker. Dine indoors at the kitchen table or al fresco on the porch. Enjoy brunch or grill up dinner overlooking the beautiful lake. The property also comes with 2 paddle boards included in the rental fee so you can cruise along the lake, or just relax on the shore and take in the incredible technicolored sunsets.

The Twin Lakes in Howe Indiana are considered to be some of the cleanest lakes in the entire state. This is a spring-fed, non-sport, private lake with no speed boats or jet-skis. While our lakeside cottage is remote, it’s only about 10 minutes from the 80-90 toll road. Shopping is conveniently located 15 minutes north in Sturgis, Michigan where you'll find a Walmart, Meijer, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar General and many restaurants.

Interested in exploring the area a bit? We are only 15 minutes away from Shipshewana Indiana, where you can get to know some of our Amish neighbors. Check out the Shipshewana flea market, enjoy some authentic homestyle Amish cooking, an afternoon carriage ride, or a show at the Blue Gate Theatre.

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.

Furnace
The furnace was not working when we arrived and owner sent someone. He only reliite it, not HVAC person. Returned from concert and furnace off again, and drains in bathroom gurgling in tub, so no showers. Owner did get the furnace relit around 11:30 at night and has promised a $89 refund. If this comes thru at least she tried, but needs some TLC with this unit.

Happiness at the Lake
We loved our visit! The lake was so peaceful and relaxing, just what we needed! The home was very clean and we loved it there! The Howe Restaurant and a Dollar General was only 5 miles away for any supplies we needed. Middlebury and Shipshewana was a short drive away too. The owner was fantastic and had such great communication. Would stay again! Thank you!
