Great relaxing getaway

This was the perfect location to come back to after day trips to Shipshewana. It was very cute, comfortable and cozy. Our favorite part was the hot tub at night overlooking the peaceful and serene lake. We really enjoyed our stay.

A perfect getaway

We recently stayed at a lovely lakeside retreat that was both beautiful and serene, offering the perfect escape from the daily hustle. The scenic views of the lake were breathtaking, and the tranquil environment provided a much-needed relaxing atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would definitely visit again.

Great get away

A good location to Shipshewana and Elkhart's Wellfield Botanical Gardens.The lake was serene. The swans came closeby! The apt. was quaint and the bed was comfy. The hot tub however needs a privacy fence. The owners Tim & Marybeth were friendly when we met them.

Great spot

My wife and I would like to thank Tim for their hospitality and providing us such a pleasant stay. Check in and out was very easy. Their property is very clean and private with an amazing view. Communication was so easy with Tim as he always provided such prompt responses. The space was absolutely cozy, we felt very at home. The property is so conveniently located just seven minutes drive to nearby restaurants/stores. It’s just beautiful. It was a very wonderful experience we will be speaking of and telling stories about for a very long time.

Quiet getaway

We were looking for a quiet getaway and this was perfect. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was well setup for a small group. We arrived after a large snow event and they had just finished clearing off the driveway for us. My wife especially enjoyed both the hot tub and jacuzzi. The view out the windows was wonderful and just as pictured.

Peaceful and Pretty

I booked this stay looking for a place to relax and find some peace following a very stressful period at work in this place was perfect. The property is tucked back in the woods along the lake so it was very quiet with no traffic noise or neighbors close by. The lake was so pretty and it was so peaceful. I would definitely book a stay at this property again!

This is a lovely spot to unwind and enjoy nature. I wish we had more time there!! The lake was gorgeous with no boat or jet ski traffic just some swans swimming by every now and then. Much needed quiet respite from everyday life.
