Very nice place
We enjoyed the views and relaxation that the house provided. Relaxing on the couch, watching the ducks and swans on the lake. My wife enjoyed the relaxation tub. We chose not to use the hot tub as the weather and winds were quite cold.

Winter Getaway
Stayed in the middle of a Winter Storm for a family event in Shipshewana. Was a great stay overall. Fairly remote location but easy to find. Wonderful view of the Lake. Great inside touches. Normal travel to Shipshewana is likely less than 10 minutes but due to winter conditions for us was about 30 minutes. Seating is a bit uncomfortable in LR and not adequate for a family considering this is a 3BR. But not a real issue. During summer this would be a great location with all the outside amenities. Our grandsons had a ball doing snow sculpture outside.

Great getaway!
The house was very clean, cozy and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable, great night sleep. The house is fully stocked and everything was in great shape. They even had extra touches to make our stay fantastic. This was a great surprise. Lastly, what a great surprise to have the house decorated for Christmas. We would stay again.

Lovely Lake House on Indiana/Michigan Border
We stayed in this lovely lake house near the town of Shipshewana, Indiana. It was accurately described in the listing. The house has plenty of amenities including well-stocked kitchen, bathroom, and towels for enjoying the hot tub, or, if you're there during warm weather, the lake. The bedrooms were nice and cozy. The master bathroom was beautifully outfitted with an extra large shower and a separate soaking tub. The 2nd bathroom was a bit of a hike to the other side of the house but it was also outfitted with a nice size shower. We loved the culture, shopping, and restaurants in Shipshewana and nearby Middlebury. We learned so much about the Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite communities. The only issue we encountered at the house was when we used the gas fireplace and set off the smoke detectors. I notified Kelly and she responded within a short time. She made us aware the flue would sometimes shut on it's own and set the alarms. We chose not to use the fireplace the rest of the stay. It did not impact our stay. I highly recommend this rental. The location, view of the lake, the beautiful swans and other local wildlife, as well as the comfortable home made our short trip a huge hit. I hope to be able to come back soon.
