Quiet Lake Getaway
We enjoyed our time on this quiet lake! The house was great and the lake was beautiful. We loved taking the pontoon out and my son loved catching and watching all the frogs in the evenings. My only complaint is that we couldn’t find a wine opener.

Fishing Trip
Great fishing, beautiful clean lake. Renting the pontoon is a must. Aside from Mother Nature showing her true colors it was a fantastic mini trip before our kids head back to school. Golf near by was also great fun.

Week at charming lake cottage
Charming Lake Cottage is a peaceful lovely getaway. The cottage was very clean inside, and Lisa was a great host. The lake is clear and we enjoyed kayaking, and bird watching from the deck. The neighbors are wonderful. For fun, check out the pumpkin vine trail in Middlebury. Pumpkinvine Cyclery rents bike for the day. Very relaxing week!

Shipshewana getaway
It is a lovely quaint lake cottage with lake frontage. The frontage wasn’t exactly swimmable with all the natural growth but the growth was lovely if you like it. The inside was clean and cozy; the outside could use some cleaning. The beds were comfortable the location was convenient and not too far from everything.
