This was such a charming lakefront cottage with absolutely fantastic views. We loved sitting on the front porch each evening, watching the beautiful sunsets over the lake. The cottage is located in the heart of Amish country, and it was a unique experience to occasionally see horse-drawn buggies traveling along the road in front of the property.The host was wonderful—friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and appreciated how conveniently located the cottage was to so many local attractions and activities.The lake itself is gorgeous, with a sandy bottom and easy access for swimming and enjoying the water. It was also nice to have plenty of other activities nearby, including the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail for biking (with bike rentals available in Shipshewana), horseback riding near Bristol, quaint shops, Amish markets, and great local restaurants. We especially enjoyed visiting Dutch Creek Animal Park, which was a fun experience for all ages.Between the beautiful lakefront setting, the comfortable cottage, and the abundance of nearby attractions, this was truly a fantastic stay. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to others looking for a relaxing getaway in Amish country.
