About this property

Private Lake, Sleeps 11, Near Shipshewana, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths

It's been our dream to live on one of the Twin Lakes for many years. Our family of six now lives on South Twin Lake and we absolutely LOVE IT!!! The Twin Lakes in Howe Indiana are some of the cleanest lakes in the entire state! Each lake has an inlet, outlet, and they are both spring-fed. We know that you will love it too!

Keep in mind, this is a nonsport private lake. This is a perfect spot for your family to swim, fish, kayak, and just relax. There are no speed boats or jet-skis on this lake.

Our home on North Twin Lake has 4 bedrooms and sleeps up to 11 people!!! There's a LARGE kid's bunk room that sleeps 5!!! There's a floor to ceiling glass patio room that faces the water that you can enjoy year-round. There's plenty of parking with a two-car garage and a parking pad out front. The lake is only a few steps from the back door!!! You can even see the adjoining South Twin Lake from numerous rooms in the house.

We have kayaks and paddleboards that are available for a small weekly fee!
Contact us for additional info!

We are only an hour from Kalamazoo Michigan, South Bend Indiana, and Fort Wayne Indiana, and only 15 minutes away from Shipshewana Indiana. You'll get to know some of our Amish neighbors when you visit Shipshewana. Shipshewana has a flea market and authentic homestyle Amish cooking, and even carriage rides available.

The 80-90 Tollroad is about 10 minutes from the house. Shopping is conveniently located 15 minutes north in Sturgis Michigan where you'll find a Walmart, Meijer, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar General, Kroger, and many restaurants.

We now have High Speed Internet! Enjoy the free wifi!

Our home is smoke-free and pet-free and we vigorously disinfect the entire home after every visit. We wash ALL linens and bedding, including comforters, after EVERY guest. Every surface is disinfected with Clorox wipes. We also provide hand sanitizer for your use.

Parking for up to 3 cars free. No street parking available.

Roomy and well appointed
The lake is quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The house easily accommodated our family of eight and would have fit a few more. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of pans, bowls, utensils, etc.. The house includes several spacious gathering areas, including the kitchen, living room, and a screen porch.

Family getaway to the lake
This is our second time at this lake house. So obviously we really enjoy. Quiet and secluded but close to restaurants and shops and attractions if you want to. Our kids are grandkids are the perfect age to enjoy the pontoon, kayaks, paddle boards, and swimming. Our host provided a well stocked house and was easy to communicate with. Miss it already!

Nice home great lake
This was our second year. The home is very clean and the water access is great for young children and babies. The home accommodates our group of 11 quite nicely with its 5 bedrooms. We like the yard sets in the shade, especially on hot days. The owners are warm, friendly and very responsive. We highly recommend this cottage.

Great lake house!
We enjoyed our stay. We had 3 couples and 3 kids ages 6-15. The kids room is wonderful! With bunk beds and a cold out futon, board games and video games. We stayed in the winter, so we did not use the lake, but we spent a lot of time around the big kitchen table playing games and looking out the windows all around the kitchen with a great view of the lake!
