The space:
House is partly on a hill covered in patchy grass, wildflowers and ground cover, and is only steps away from the lakefront. The house is round with sliding glass doors (for stunning views) and a deck around it with stairs leading to the lakefront. The deck in front is spacious with a table and umbrella that can seat up to 8 comfortably, a natural gas grill adjacent to the kitchen doors, and a lounging area with love seat, chairs, coffee table and umbrella. It's a wonderful and functional space for entertaining outdoors.
Built in early 1970's by Amish craftsmen, the cottage's interior is finished in barn siding and the walls stop short of the ceiling leaving a vaulted ceiling throughout the top floor and dimmable back-lighting at the top of the walls. The entire upper level is carpeted (reminiscent of that 70s fashion phase!) and the kitchen and upper bath have many of their original fixtures. The floor plan is open between the kitchen, living and dining room. The lower level is accessed by an indoor spiral staircase or sliding door from the lakefront and is tiled. There is a family room there with a sofa bed and flat screen TV, game area with a table with lazy Susan, office desk, remodeled full bath and laundry room. There are windows around the front half of this area with views of the lake.
Outside the lower level is a paverstone patio under the deck, with furniture and small tables to enjoy the view or watch the kids from the ground level in the shade. Outside in the front is a dock, brand new pedal boat, fire ring and an adjoining empty lot largely left for wildlife.
This property and house has been in the family for generations and has been furnished and decorated to live in with love. If you like unusual homes with unique features this gorgeous lakeside cottage is the stay for you!

Summary: My wife was wanting to visit Shipshewana, so I did a search on VRBO and found this cabin. It is only a few minutes from Shipshewana, and like the listing says, it is right on the North Twin Lake. There are quite a few other houses/cabins around, but it was very quiet while we were there. I'm guessing that it is because it was off season. Did some peddling around the lake on the boat that was provided, but most of our time was just relaxing either inside the cabin or on the back deck. It don't think it could have been more peaceful there. As for the cabin itself, it looked to me like an old boat house that had been refurbished. The walls were very rustic, but much of the inside of the cabin (carpeting, appliances, etc.) didn't look to be more than a few years old. It was basically outfitted with everything we needed, including a grill outside connected to the natural gas line. The one thing that seemed odd was that the bedroom walls didn't go all the way to the underside of the peaked roof. It was not an issue with just my wife and I, but it could be for multiple people with different bed or wakeup times. No issues with communications with Christianne, the host. She let us know that she could be reached if we needed anything, although we never found anything we needed. We even had a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived - a really nice touch.

Summary: Pleasant experience. We enjoyed the paddleboat. Unfortunately the bike tires were flat, some of the amenities were pretty wore down (carpet, couch, upstairs bath). We couldnt swim in the water right off the dock.

Summary: Loved the property. Nice and cool inside and the deck was great for hanging out and watching the swans. This property was very unique and the property manager was extemely responsive.

Summary: We had a very relaxing week on a peaceful lake with everything we needed at the lake house. Lots of nature to enjoy and the view was beautiful! The host was extremely responsive. Everything was exactly as shown in the listing and we would definitely recommend this property!

Robert S. May 13, 2024 03:13:32 AM

Summary: We enjoyed a relaxing lake-view vacation in a unique rental. Plenty of day-trips locations close by and plenty of good food. You can do as little or as much as you like and still have a great vacation.

Summary: Highly recommend. The cottage is two levels, super quirky (in a good way), and the two bedrooms are nice. They share a jack-and-jill bathroom. The downstairs bathroom has a nice shower. The lake was surprisingly unbusy the entire week we stayed, which was nice. Lots of ways to stay entertained. Lima is close by, with a cute ice cream stand and awesome used book store. Just a little bit further (10-15 min) is Sturgis for everything you might need. Great location. Hosts are easy to get a hold of if/when needed.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything is as listed. Bonus points for the workout equipment which was a great surprise. The lake is beautiful and relaxing.

Beth M. Jul 14, 2023 10:30:56 AM

Summary: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the most charming and relaxing home I’ve stayed in! The entire process was very easy and they are very hospitable. I was welcomed with a lovely gift and hand written card. Classy! Every amenity was available to make the vacation a truly relaxing break.The paddle boat is so easy and fun. My favorite part of the stay was the ability to relax and reflect in nature. The birds where lovely to listen and watch. It is a quite and friendly lake. I will definitely go back!
