About this cabin rental

If you love waking up to birdsong and the rustle of squirrels in the trees, sipping your morning coffee in an Adirondack chair as the sun rises over misty waters, this lakeside cabin is your ideal escape. Set on a quiet, private 179-acre lake with no motorized boats allowed—only canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats—this is the place to truly unplug and unwind, no matter the season.
In summer, enjoy warm days on the water and cool, tranquil nights. Autumn brings stunning foliage reflected in glassy lake waters. The gently sloping shoreline is perfect for swimming, especially for kids, and two kayaks are provided for your use. A paddle boat is also available upon request. Life jackets are included for your peace of mind.
The property borders 3,569 acres of protected land in the Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area, offering exceptional birdwatching, hiking, and opportunities to connect with nature. Local towns nearby feature antique shops and authentic Amish goods, and if you're in the mood for a little adventure, Notre Dame and downtown South Bend are just an hour’s drive away.
The cabin itself is beautifully restored, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. Original hardwood floors and an open-concept layout make the space warm and welcoming. The kitchenette includes a slate backsplash and butcher block countertops—ideal for simple meal prep. The main sleeping area features a queen-size bed, while a full-size futon with a thick, comfy mattress offers extra space for guests. The bathroom includes a tiled shower with a glass enclosure and a sliding barn door for privacy. A filtered water and drinking station is available.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or a quiet solo retreat, this cabin offers the serenity of lake life—just the way it used to be.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The host has three lovely dogs. We missed our dogs, so giving their dogs attention was nice. We enjoyed morning coffee looking out over the lake. We also took out the kayaks. It is so quiet and beautiful on the lake. The hosts, Joanna and her husband were very kind and took care of any concerns. We will definitely return.

Cute cottage. Fine for the two of us and our dog. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and looking out at the lake. View was good from the patio and from inside as well. A little hard to find the driveway, address could be marked better.Owner is right next door. They were very responsive when we had a couple of minor issues.

This cute little cottage had everything thing we needed. Enjoyed fishing from the dock and paddle boat that was provided. Joanna went out of her way to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Loved our evenings at the fire pit every night we were there. Had the best dinner our last night at Sleepy Owl restaurant only 5 minutes away. The lake was so peaceful with no motorized boats. Would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a quiet getaway.
