The lake house was a wonderful quiet place to stay. It has all the amenities you need. The beds are so comfortable you dont want to get up. The views are amazing also with not to far of a drive to the store. Also if we had questions the host was so fast to reply. Definitely recommend staying here, were already want to come back.

Great property on the lake. Beautiful views. We saw swans and geese. Clean. Warm. And the beds were comfortable.

We enjoyed our cozy weekend stay on Heaton Lake! The fall colors were popping and swans on the lake were a delight to watch. This is a very sweet spot, we would definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The host was very responsive, and friendly. The area was quiet, with shopping and stores close by. The cabin itself was was exactly as described, very clean, and well stocked. You have everything you need to make you feel like your home. There is even a white noise box in one of the bedrooms to help fall asleep. The only thing I would recommend to the host, is to get a removable shower head for the shower, one that offers higher water pressure, and functions. Other than that, our stay was a 10/10. My absolute favorite was enjoying coffee on the back deck in the morning, the view of the lake, it was so peaceful and beautiful. Next time we are in the area, if this is available, we will definitely stay again. I would highly recommend staying at Heaton Lake Cabin.

Although, February is not the greatest time to visit Elkhart, IN, this little cabin made it worthwhile. It was cozy, as advertised, but also clean and well-appointed with amenities and welcoming decor. Our host was perfect, delivering on what was necessary, and letting us have our space otherwise. It is a bit confusing navigating, but our host gave very clear directions. Also, although this place is well maintained and classy, there are other properties that aren't. Please don't let that deter you from staying here. Have fun!

Winter view. it was captivating. All you wanted to do was drink your coffee and look out the window. We saw 2 swans

About the host

Hosted by Lindsey Schrader

My family and I live in Edwardsburg, MI. We often host friends and family in our home and have hosted at our cabin on Lake Huron also. We love sharing our favorite things about getting together and making memories that last a lifetime. We are not a big company so we can offer all of the personal touches that make a home comfortable.

Why they chose this property

This hidden gem offers all of the joys of lake life in a quiet atmosphere. During the summer, you can see the families gathering at Ideal Beach. We love swimming, kayaking, and fishing with our family here. During the winter, there is easy access to ice fishing, warm and cozy views of the water, and many games to play inside.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful views, quiet atmosphere, private use, and professional cleaning.
