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

Our home is smoke free and pet free and we vigorously disinfect the entire home after each stay. We wash ALL linens and bedding, including comforters after EVERY guest!

Very peaceful and quiet and clean! Pontoon was fabulous! It was a lot of stairs to climb due to the living room on one floor and the kitchen on another. Also no railing on the outside steps so it was difficult to navigate! But over all a nice clean quiet place to stay on a beautiful lake!

Staying here is becoming a summer tradition!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy the consistently peaceful tranquility of staying at this cottage. Especially in the evenings, it almost seems as though man-made noise is non-existent! Our times of staying here are weekdays, so I can't speak for the weekends. I can speak for the charming hosts, though, who are there fast if you need them, and go out of their way to be non-intrusive when you don't! Highly recommended!

Amazing Lake Weekend
A group of my friends and I stayed here for a weekend in June and it was absolutely perfect. Everything was clean when we got there and it was super easy to check in. The water was beautiful and the neighbors were really friendly! I would highly recommend staying here!

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.

As Advertised
we truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back! A couple of suggestions about the place: 1) I am totally fine with no Wifi but we the lighting is less than ideal for reading (sometime that is nice to do if there is no internet)... I would suggest a couple of more reading lamps in the living/main room and one in the bedroom by the chair. 2) I think a washer/dryer would be nice - especially if it's summer time and kids (and adults) are doing stuff on the lake. But otherwise a very nice, clean place!

Perfectly Peaceful!
We stayed here for a quick anniversary getaway weekend. It was so peaceful and wonderful. The perfect place to unwind and unplug. Easy access to Shipshewana and other area small towns. The house was equipped with everything you’d need, very well stocked. We enjoyed sitting in the sun on the dock during the afternoons. Would definitely stay here again!!
