Outdoor Adventures Await
Head down to the lake where you can enjoy the dock, perfect for canoeing or kayaking (ask for additional rental information). The clear waters, smooth lake rocks, and scenic surroundings make for a delightful experience. Swim to the sandbar or simply float and soak in the sun—just remember to use sunblock and opt for plastic or aluminum beverage containers.

As evening approaches, gather around the fire pit by the lake, or head to the top deck for stunning sunset views while lounging on patio furniture or at the picnic table. For grilling enthusiasts, a grill is conveniently located on the large patio.

Respecting the peaceful environment and our friendly neighbors is key. Bring your fishing license if you plan to fish, and enjoy spotting wildlife and turtles as you paddle across the lake.

Amazing place for a great getaway

Such a cute place to stay. Well maintained, beautifully decorated, plenty of parking, one of the most well stocked kitchens I have ever seen, great view, comfortable beds, and clean. We enjoyed Memorial Day weekend there was nothing we could want. The host is a great communicator and makes sure you have everything that you would need or want. We will for sure be back at some time. Put this one on your list of clean, well maintained, safe places to stay put this one on your list.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Cossairt

Host profile image
I’m passionate about the outdoors, decorating spaces to make them feel welcoming, and meeting new people. Hosting allows me to combine these interests by creating a comfortable and stylish environment where guests can relax and enjoy their stay. I love hearing from people from all walks of life and sharing the special touches I’ve put into my space.

Why they chose this property

I've always cherished lake life, having spent my childhood summers on the water. Cedar Lake holds a special place in my heart, as my husband and I purchased my grandparents' cottage and have created countless memories there with our kids. What I love most about the neighborhood is the serene beauty of the lake, perfect for swimming and fishing. The sense of community and the picturesque setting make it a wonderful place to relax and connect with nature.






What makes this property unique

What sets my property apart is its perfect combination of tranquility and convenience. Situated by a clean, peaceful lake, it provides a serene retreat while remaining close to vibrant destinations. Just 2 miles from the Michigan border and the Indiana Toll Road, this charming getaway offers easy access to various activities. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a 45-minute drive to cheer on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish or play a round of golf at Cedar Lake Golf Course, just 1 minute away. Discover Amish culture and unique shopping in Shipshewana, 15 minutes away. Groceries and essentials are conveniently located 5 minutes away in Sturgis, MI, and you’ll have access to the public boat landing
