Nice place…. Smelled like animals. It did say pet friendly and I missed it when I looked at the property.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you liked the space. While we clean thoroughly between guests, we understand sensitivities can vary. One of our guests cooked something prior to your stay that may have still been residually lingering. We’ll continue doing our best to keep the home as fresh as possible for all guests!
Perfect place to stay. Convenient walking distance to food and shops. The house was so clean and was perfect for my husband and me. Also was convenient for going up into Amish country.
This is a fantastic property. Very clean and comfortable! Great neighborhood for walking and close to shops and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again.
I really enjoyed the location being just a block from the lake and within walking distance of parks, trails, the college, a farmer’s market and fun shops. The host had great taste and decorated the house in seasonal decor. Just right for our party of 3.
Nice, clean, fully updated, little cottage with all amenities in a quaint little village. Perfect place to stay for our weekend getaway. Everyone we met was so friendly and polite. If staying be sure to stop at Trailhouse and rent a bike!
Such a relaxing view of the woods across the street. Loved hearing all the wildlife. Enjoyed hiking the nearby woods. Close proximity to Winona Lake where we enjoyed a beautiful sunset. The house was very comfortable & relaxing. I would definitely rent again.
This is an immaculate home. It is very close to some nice trails. It is close to the park at Winona Lake, who’s is a GREAT park with a splash pad, pickle ball and tennis courts, a nice playground and even a sandy beach area. The kitchen is really well stocked. A roomy 2 bedroom. Great place to stay.
Everything was as described, and honestly everything you needed they had! Great yard space with fire pit, front porch with seating space, all new appliances and washer/dryer! It was perfect!

So clean and so well decorated. We loved biking the trails and around the town. It was perfect for our needs. Definitely plan to stay again.
My son and I stayed here for family weekend at Grace College. We also brought our pup. We just loved it. A quiet street and well appointed. We particularly loved the fireplace since the first snow of the season happened while we were here. So beautiful. We watched football and played board games and ate great food at local restaurants. We will definitely stay again… Probably just leave the dog at home next time.
Perfect stay for a getaway to Winona Lake. Place was beautiful and had everything we needed. The owner Erin was extremely nice. Thanks!

About the host
Hosted by Erin Rodman
Our family lives locally in the Warsaw area. We enjoy the charm that Warsaw and Winona Lake offer and we have enjoyed living here for many years (as well as growing up here.) We enjoy the trails and outdoor recreation paired with the great boutique shopping and great dining in Winona Lake and we love for others to get to experience this wonderful town, too!
Why they chose this property
What makes this house great is that you can walk out the front door and have easy access to the trails, the lake, the park, the village, and all that Winona has to offer. The front porch offers wooded views but you're just a stone's throw from everything!
What makes this property unique

Come find serenity and be in the heart of all the action in Winona Lake!
