Swim Moms and girls

We were in Elkhart for a Swim Championship being held at the Aquatics Center. The house was a 12minute drive. We had 3 moms and 4 teenage girls (ages 15 - 18). The house really has 2 usable bathrooms. The layout was great - the teenagers had their own space upstairs until we went to sleep then a mom used the double bed up there. The kitchen island and table were great places for the girls to gather and eat. The kitchen had great supplies. Overall the girls got more rest as we made meals there and saved a lot of money. We will definitely look to rent there again. We did not have use for the lake access but if it had been warmer it would have been great to swim and build a fire in the firepit.

Girl’s weekend

We had 11 women for 2 nights and Lakeshore Cottage was a great place. Anna was very responsive to any questions I had leading up to and during our stay. The house was really nice, the bunk room upstairs is cute and was even fine for us adults. I would say though that the stairs are narrow and a bit slippery so an added railing would be beneficial. The yard is large with plenty of chairs and places to hang out. Easy access to the waterfront. The water is very shallow right at the wall and even quite far out. The lake bottom was pretty mucky and full of seaweed, so not great for swimming, but in boats or rafts it’s great. The lake is small and quiet, only a few hours of allowed wake time in the afternoons. Overall I would definitely recommend Anna’s property!

ND Football Weekend

We had 3 couples stay and there was plenty of space for us. This is a very convenient location, less than two miles from the Indiana Toll road. It takes roughly 30 minutes to get to the ND campus via the Toll road. Anna was gracious and provided us with a cooler and camp chairs to use for tailgating. One of our party members took an early morning kayak on the lake Sunday and enjoyed that. We'd stay again next time we're in town for a football game.

Girls weekend

Relaxing weekend away. Had a great time sitting down by the lake during the day and playing games inside in the evening. There was a neat nature trail (boot lake) about 10 minutes away that was beautiful to explore one morning as well. Only complaint would be the stairs were a little narrow/slippery but we just stayed on the main floor! Anna was great and quick to respond with any questions we did have!

Great experience!

We had a great time. Just the right amount of room for us (7adults and 2 kids). While the adults didn’t have much luck fishing the kids had a ball catching little fish! Enjoyed the paddle boat,kayaks, and small fishing boat. The grandkids (ages 4 and 6) kayaked for the first time. We also enjoyed the local restaurants and ease of grocery shopping. Would stay there again!

Wonderful stay

We truly enjoyed the lake house over the Memorial weekend. The house is very clean, spacious, nicely updated, comfortable and has everything you may need. We had canoes, a paddleboat, a motorboat for fishing and a kayak to use which was great. My son very much enjoyed the swing in the yard, we loved the dedicated space for making s’mores and just sit by the fire with ample amount of firewood. Pellet grill worked well as well. The lake is small and shallow but very clean and we loved using the water pad provided. Great location, close to Walmart and Kroger, a couple of breweries nearby and a small waterpark on the opposite side of the lake. Even though the water park was not open yet, the sandy beach and proximity to it is certainly a big plus for families with kids. The water has a sulfur smell as is expected in lake house areas, we used filtered water from the fridge for cooking. All in all we had a great time and will be back!
