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.

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.

We stayed a couple nights so we could run some errands up in the northern Indiana area and do some shopping. We were also able to bring our two doggies who enjoyed their time as much as we did. We’ll definitely be back again.

Looking for peace...this place is it. Beautiful countryside to drive through, great place to watch the sunset over the lake, quaint & quiet. Close to Shipshewana. The property is very well maintained. Our only regret...we didn't have more time to stay and just enjoy the property.

Little Getaway

This cottage was absolutely perfect, had everything we needed and so quiet. Is in a beautiful and relaxing location, enjoyed watching the horses grazing nearby and the sunrise and sets over the lake. We came to experience the local Amish lifestyle and the location couldn't have been better. Our host was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we had and offered suggestions of local places to visit. Definitely recommend this home to stay and we would definitely come back, overall a great experience.

Absolutely the very best! We needed a quiet restful area and this answered all of needs. The bunkhouse had everything we needed and the plus didn’t have any dishes to do. Also there were horses to pet and love on. I would so recommend this to everyone.

Grandie trip

I travel every summer from NC to take my 3 Indiana grandkids, one at a time for a 1-2 night get away with just me/grandma. This was our first visit to The Bunkhouse’ - every one of us enjoyed our stay. Low-key, country setting with things to do/enjoy right there at the rental, as well as things close by to enjoy. Kathy was an excellent host. We hope to return next year.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Fought

Host profile image
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!!
