Summary of reviews

Clean, comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a great location with friendly and responsive hosts. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing getaway.

From real guest reviews summarized by AI

10.0 / 10.0

As always, the cottage is immaculately clean, well-appointed and very comfortable. The rain last night on the metal roof took us right back to our childhood grandparents’ homes. We’ve been renting this cottage for at least 5 years and we’ll continue renting this one as long as it’s available. You’ll not find a more accommodating host in all of your VRBO rental searches.

10.0 / 10.0

The cottage was nice, neat and comfortable. David was very easy to communicate with and the overall experience was great. If we ever get back out that way, we would certainly stay there again.

10.0 / 10.0

Excellent

10.0 / 10.0

David was wonderful and easy to communicate with. The house was clean, welcoming, fully furnished as described. The ONLY negative was that a couple pictures of the property made it look like it was on the water, and it was not. It was less than a block from the water... still had to walk or drive to get there. We had a peaceful, relaxing, and restful stay... exactly what we wanted.

8.0 / 10.0

The check-in was seamless, very easy. The kitchen facility was wonderful. Very well equipped, and had everything we needed and then some.

10.0 / 10.0

Great getaway, close to the lake, wonderful walking paths and more. The cottage is more than comfortable, like a home away from home and the host was easy communicate with.

8.0 / 10.0

The house was clean and cutely decorated! Owner was quick to respond to messages. There are a couple of reasons I didn't give it 5 stars - the rooms are small (to be fair, it was a great price!). But if you are tall or a bigger person it might be tight for you. I had also hoped that there would be better access to the lake.Otherwise, it's only 30 minutes from Shipshewana and we took advantage of that. The house was in a nice quiet location.

10.0 / 10.0

David was a great host and was extremely accommodating during my stay. He was extremely easy to get a hold of when needed. The cottage is a cute little home in a nice small town.

10.0 / 10.0

David was very easy to communicate and got us booked for a last minute vacation. The cottage is cozy. We really enjoyed being able to walk to the lake where there are park benches to look at the wildlife. We would stay again.

Overall this VRBO was exactly what I needed. I was staying in town with 2 friends for a weekend race.

10.0 / 10.0

We absolutely love our stay in the cottage. Communication is always amazing and the neighborhood is quiet with very pleasant neighbors. We enjoy eating at The Sylvan Lake Diner around the corner and plenty of local stores to get anything you may need. We will definitely suggest this beautiful little cottage

Well, first of all our host David was amazingly kind and very timely in responses. Cottage was a perfect location for us super cute very clean. It was just my husband and I But could have accommodated many more people.

8.0 / 10.0

Was just looking for a place to lay our heads after spending time at the lake with family, nothing fancy. For the price, it was as expected.

10.0 / 10.0

This was a cute little cottage that reminded me of going to stay at "Grandma's" house. Definitely an older house but it has everything you need. Contact with the host was fantastic. He responded incredibly quickly when we had questions. Nice quiet neighborhood close to the lake. I really liked that there was bottled drinking water and night lights.

Cottage was exactly as pictured and described. It was clean and very welcoming. Communication was great! We really appreciated that a water cooler was provided since the cottage is on well water. The cottage is decorated with an interesting mix of decor and knick knacks that we enjoy looking at! The neighbor/community is very nice and the lake looks great. Would definitely stay again! Thanks for a great weekend!

When we arrived, the pictures matched perfectly with the location. The cottage was a perfect little getaway to unwind and disconnect. Close to Shipshewana. A water softener would be a great addition to the cottage!

10.0 / 10.0

This was a great house for a couple of days while traveling from Lake Michigan back to Kentucky. It was an ideal home base for me while meeting friends at Sylvan Lake, Gene Stratton-Porter Historic Site, Sylvan Cellars, Fishing Line Trail, etc. The house was clean & comfortable, & David was friendly & super helpful by text. He came by after a severe storm to check on me; I happily chilled out during the storm by watching Amazon Prime features on the big screen TV. It's an older lake cabin that's been updated but has an added-on floorplan (e.g., you have to go through the living room, kitchen, & laundry room to get to the bathroom) -- but that worked well for me (I was there for a lake stay anyway). Great value for the price.
