Tippy Cottage is a premier, Lakefront retreat nestled within the shores of Tippecanoe Lake, an “All-Sports Lake” in Leesburg, Indiana. This bright and cheery 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath newly renovated cottage includes a main level open-concept consisting of the living room, dining and kitchen. The main floor has two full bathrooms with laundry and two bedrooms. On this level, the master bedroom boasts a deluxe king-sized bed, walk-in-closet and private deck with views of the lake to enjoy your morning coffee. The bright and sunny second bedroom features a queen and full futon. The delightful kitchen has sliding glass doors that leads you onto a screened in deck that will provide a nice spot for the early riser, outdoor eating or to simply enjoy the lake views and wetlands.

Mini-reunion
Old friends of 70+ years (yes, that’s 70+!) had a delightful stay at TIPPY COTTAGE. It’s a beautifully sited, immaculate, spacious-yet cozy- home on the water. We enjoyed a campfire, many long discussions on the screened porch, restful sleep (very quiet), and lovely dinners at restaurants on nearby lakes, only 10 minutes away. We also met the owners who were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend and would love to return.

3 words.... Screened In Porch!
If we weren't out on our boat, we spent most of our time out in the screened in porch. The home was roomy enough for 6 adults with room to spare. We liked that this home did not sit right up against neighboring homes and it had a large outdoor area and fire pit. Cindi was prompt to address any questions or concerns. We brought our boat and 2 jet skis. Lake Tippecanoe is a great water sports lake.

Great trip!
Great quiet location and very clean well stocked house. Perfect yard and fire pit with a dock. Pictures do not do it justice - plenty of room for 11 of us. A few packing tips: nothing lacking inside the house - lots of towels, blankets, pillows - fully stocked kitchen. You should bring whatever outside yard toys and floats your groups wants. Yard is perfect for throwing a ball or playing bags - just bring your own! We hope to be back!

About the host

Host profile image
We live in Northwest Indiana. We have a year round cottage on Lake Tippecanoe near by Tippy Cottage where we enjoy all four seasons.

Why they chose this property

We like the spacious setting of the cottage in the trees and the 100 ft. of lake frontage. We enjoy the our cottage at the lake and want to give others the opportunity to enjoy Lake Tippecanoe like we do.

What makes this property unique

Flat yard going out to the lake. Spacious, quiet area.
