About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi! We are Courtney and John, the owners of Wanderer's Rest. We are passionate about creating the perfect backdrop for your family memories. We love Winona Lake—from our morning walks to the Farmer's Market, afternoon runs on the trails, or evenings spent sipping wine and dining in the Village—and we want you to experience the best of it, too.

While we love hosting large groups, we designed the Garden Apartment to be a cozy, self-contained haven for smaller families, Grace College visitors, and remote workers. We focused on the details that matter: a fully equipped private kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a dog-friendly atmosphere that makes traveling with your four-legged friends easy.

To ensure you have a flawless 5-star experience, we partner with our fantastic co-host, Chloe. Chloe manages our guest communications and is your go-to contact for local recommendations or questions during your stay. While you will likely hear from her first, please know we are all working together to make your visit perfect!

Why they chose this property

The Garden Apartment at Wanderer's Rest offers unmatched value in Winona Lake—a fully furnished, private 2-bedroom/2-bath apartment with its own private fenced yard for the price of a standard hotel room. While local hotels are clustered along busy highways in Warsaw, we put you right in the heart of "Village Living" with a private entrance, full kitchen, in-unit laundry, and outdoor seating.

We designed this comfortable, high-functioning apartment for four specific types of travelers:

SMALL FAMILIES & COUPLES: Enjoy a quiet, peaceful village getaway with 2 private bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and your own outdoor oasis complete with a fire pit, playset, and fully fenced yard. Walk to artisan shops, canal dining, ice cream spots, and the beach in just 5 minutes.

OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS & DOG OWNERS: Step directly onto the Winona Lake Greenway for 10+ miles of walking and mountain bike trails. With a fully fenced yard and dog-friendly policy, traveling with your pup is completely stress-free.

GRACE COLLEGE FAMILIES: Being a 5-minute walk from campus makes us the ultimate home base for Parents Weekend, Homecoming, or Graduation.

ORTHOPEDIC CONSULTANTS & CORPORATE TRAVELERS: Located just 5-10 minutes from Warsaw's world-renowned orthopedic headquarters (Zimmer Biomet, DePuy Synthes, Medtronic) and regional healthcare facilities. Enjoy a full home environment with high-speed Wi-Fi, a dedicated workstation, private laundry, and full kitchen.

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of staying in the Garden Apartment is having a completely private, fully furnished home environment paired with an exclusive fenced yard and immediate 5-minute walkability to the Village at Winona.

VILLAGE WALKABILITY & LAKE LIFE:
Leave your car in our private lot and stroll to artisan shops, canal dining, boat rentals, Limitless Park Splash Pad, and public beach. You get the authentic Winona Lake experience right at your doorstep.

PRIVATE OUTDOOR RETREAT:
Relax on the outdoor sofa, roast s'mores around the fire pit, or let your kids and dogs play safely in the private fenced yard. Having a dedicated outdoor living space for a 2-bedroom apartment is a rare luxury in Winona Lake.

GARDEN-TO-TABLE LIVING:
We invite our guests to live like locals. Enjoy seasonal produce from our garden raised beds during your stay—pluck fresh herbs for breakfast or harvest ripe veggies for dinner.

CORPORATE & MEDICAL CONVENIENCE:
For business travelers working in the Orthopedic Capital of the World or nearby hospitals, having a quiet 2BR/2BA apartment with a full kitchen, dedicated workspace, and private washer/dryer provides far more comfort and flexibility than a hotel room.
