Rustic private lake cottage/cabin found nestled in Amish Country in northeast In
Mirror lake bed and breakfast. Is now the Mirror lake Bunkhouse we are an accommodation stay only. Breakfast is no longer an option. Mirror lake Bunkhouse is priced for a 2 person stay additional people are 20.00 each per day. Mirror Lake bunkhouse is not big, nor is it fancy. It has that make yourself at home, peaceful, private and relaxing feeling. Our 500 sq. Bunkhouse is located in 'northeast' Indiana. Just outside the small town of Rome City. You will find our 175 acre grain farm. With now only 1 horse.
You are in your own private one bedroom, one bath and living room. With a warm and cozy atmosphere, it can easily sleep 4 comfortably. The bedroom has a queen size bed and an antique youth bed (longer and thinner). The bunkhouse has a vaulted ceiling and 8ft interior soft walls.The living room has 2 sofas that convert to queen size sleepers. With air conditioning, 43” flat screen TV, gas fireplace, WIFI but no satellite, no phone. The bathroom has a 4” step in tiled shower with a vanity and vesicle sink. The kitchenette is minimal NO ONE WANTS TO GO ON VACATION AND COOK ALL THE TIME. Table and 4 chairs, with mini refrigerate, toaster oven, microwave, coffee pot, dishes, cups and silverware.( No oven, pots or pans.)
Your outside living space includes a patio, glider, fire pit and Blackstone griddle. Plus lots of green grass and acres to roam on. Sit on your wood glider and watch the sun go down over the water. Relax by the 4ft above ground shared pool, fish from the pier or drive the John Deere Gator to either of the 2- 10 acre woods. Walk or bike on the safe, mowed paths. Visit the 2 primitive cabins as well ( if there are no campers). Look for the deer, wild turkeys, Sand Hill Cranes, Osprey's, Owls and more. Pet the horse Fame (a paint ) maybe she will let you give her a slice of apple.
You can bring your own tackle, poles and bait.You are welcomed to rent the mini pontoon ( runs by a trolling motor) or fishing boat for fishing inside the private lake. Life jackets and flotations cushions provided and MUST be one per person in each boat. Fishing is catch and release or you are welcome to keep and cleaning. We do not supply any cleaning supplies. So you need to bring your own. Non swimmers MUST wear life jackets. We are NOT responsible for accidents.
Mirror Lake is ALL about getting away from it ALL. But still have all the amenities. Although mirror lake bunkhouse is located in the middle of Amish lifestyle. Within 2 miles is the back roads tavern restaurant. Within 4 miles is the local restaurant Coody Brown’s located on Witmer Lake. . And just 4 miles straight down Northport Road, is ‘Sylvan Cellars’ tasting room. Many times they have entertainment and bands. You can also call ‘Sylvan Cellars’ party bus and they will come to mirror Lake and pick you up and bring you home safely.
Mirror Lake takes you away from all the pressures of life, stress of the traffic, noise and congestion. Here there are few people & no crowds. Mirror Lake Bunkhouse is a place to sit back relax, take it easy, take in nature and reconnect with each other and nature as well.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy Fought
My name is Kathy and my husband is Jed. We have three grown children and seven grandchildren. We take great pride in the 175 acres. We own here at this location. We enjoy being outside and being in our woods. We enjoy the pool and the lake. We host many family gatherings. We want you to enjoy your slice of heaven while you visit. Our little Bunkhouse is a converted 2 car garage. Giving you a 500 ft.² rustic Bunkhouse. It has a living room, bedroom and bathroom. And a small kitchenette, your outdoor space comes with a patio, Blackstone griddle and fire pit. A short stroll and you’re sitting on the pier at Mirror Lake.
For a cozy girlfriends weekend or a larger family, we can sleep seven. But it’s more ideal for 2 to 4 people. We are in the country with Amish farms and families around us. But you can get to four or five restaurants, tasting rooms and entertainment in just a few miles.

Why they chose this property
My husband and I both grew up on farms in the country. We wanted to give that same experience to our kids. For us, our house is exactly what we wanted. Peace and quiet and in the country. With 150 acres of farmland. And a private 12 acre lake. Along with two separate woods. With trails for enjoying the woods. We live in the country with Amish families and farms nearby. Horse and buggies on the roads along with horse poop. But it’s peaceful, quiet serene, just what you may be looking for to get away for a few days.
What makes this property unique
The main house dates to the early 1830's. There is a family cemetery with 49 graves on the farm, just south of the horse barn. We have an Osprey (bird) nest in our power line tower. There are only 5 nests in Noble Co. and 3 in LaGrange Co. AND WE HAVE ONE. This is their 5th year returning. It is peaceful and private. You are the only guests on the main property (there maybe campers in the woods at the 2 campsites.) A place to reconnect to each other or be on a vacation with another couple and NOT be surrounded by other people. Again did I say PRIVATE AND PEACEFUL!!
