About this property

Couples retreat

This is a very comfortable cottage, perfect for your family or a couples get-a-way.
While this cottage is not lake front it is just feet away from the waters edge. One of my best times of the day is to get a cup of coffee walk outside the cottage while the dew is still on the ground walk down to the lake. If you are quiet you will see the bass swimming along the sea wall. We have a pier to fish off of and to park a boat. The Cottage is a small Cottage but very comfortable equipped with everything you need. Just bring food. It is on a well so if you don’t like the well water you might consider bottled water. The deck outside has a gas grill and gas, along with table and other seating. We do have a fire pit area that other cottages surrounding also uses. Great time to meet other people. The shared beach area gives you chance to get cooled off or play in the sand.

The sun is warming as I walk to the lake. It is so quiet, you can sneak up on the bass that are swimming by the seawall. Walk out on the pier and watch as the swans and other birds fly by, and watch as the lake starts to wake up as the fish jump hungrily for their morning meal.
Water fun abounds from your pier. Sunbathing swimming and fishing. At the end of the pier you can swim perfect for the swimmers and sun bathing! The pier has space for your boat. If you are not bringing a boat we can help you with a pontoon rental.
Beach area is shared by others but plenty of sand for everyone. Sand toys are located at the beach area. We also have a wagon so you don't have to carry anything to the beach or pier.
This cottage has a bedroom with a queen size bed and all bed linens. The second bedroom has a queen size bed, dresser and all bed linens. The living room has a sofa bed that pulls out to a queen size bed and all bed linens.
The kitchen is stocked with everything you need for making a fresh summer meal or just heating up a pizza! Check out all the amenities we offer for the kitchen. We don't want you to have to pack like you are camping. Just bring your food and enjoy your time.
The bathroom is small but has everything you need. Thirty bath towels, wash clothes, hand soap, and toilet tissue. Shower only sorry no tub. We do not have laundry area at this time but we do have a clothes line for wet towels and bathing suits.
This is a comfortable cottage for four people but you can have up to six people if you like each other😀 this place gives you options to go to other areas to be alone or just have some down time.
The outside area has a great shaded area with rocking chair to sit and read. The deck area has the picnic table, gas grill with gas, and chaise lounge chairs.
For the enjoyment for little ones a swing set and play area is on site. This is a shared area with other renters of our cottages. Along with a fire pit, and fire wood. We encourage everyone to use this area and get to know others at the lake. Roast a marshmallow and make a friend.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Selby

Host profile image
I grew up at Big Barbee lake. I was very blessed my Grandparents had cottages that they rented out weekly. This has been something that has turned into a very enjoyable vacation spot for many family's that rented here for years. Paul and I enjoy the lake and the area very much. We stay as often as we can. So you will see us often.

I live in Fort Wayne with my Husband Paul but we plan on living at the lake one day.

Why they chose this property

This was the first cottage that my grandparents opened. They bought it in 1958. It was a one bedroom at the time. Years later someone added another bedroom. The fireplace is original but added a gas log.

What makes this property unique

This is a great cottage for that romantic get-a-way.
