Beautiful, cozy cabin right on the lake. We enjoyed the paddleboat, charcoal grill and firepit! If you happen to forget anything there’s a Walmart not too far away. View is amazing and we loved having our morning coffee on the deck. Fireplace was nice too! Cabin is well equipped with everything you need and our host is so kind!

The cottage was perfect! It’s very well stocked, super clean, and just the cutest. We loved the pontoon and evenings on the deck. Highly recommend!

My wife and I have stayed in places from Maine to California and your place has been the best one we’ve stayed at. You have thought of everything a person could need for their stay and added it to your home. Thanks for a wonderful place for us to get away from our every day life!

We stayed at the sweet lake cottage with our son and his fiance. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to prepare a meal. The lakefront deck provided amazing views and was a perfect place to enjoy that first cup of coffee. ThePaddle boat and fishing poles provided lots of fun as did tbe lakefront firepit.

10.0 / 10.0

Such a clean, comfortable property! Fun lake decor inside and nice deck outside with lots of shade and flowers. Good times boating, swimming, and fishing!

10.0 / 10.0

We had a great time. Enjoyed being on the lake, watching the turtles. Early morning paddle boat rides were beautiful. We saw a bald eagle, a doe and her fawn, geese, and ducks. The lake house is cozy. We slept great. Such an enjoyable time.

10.0 / 10.0

Everything was perfect. The view is amazing. We celebrated our anniversary and husband’s birthday. The owners thought of everything! Even poop bags for your fuzzy kids. Highly recommend.

We were just in for a weekend getaway, this spot was perfect. Great view and access to the lake. My boys enjoyed going out fishing and just being outside. Everything was good!

10.0 / 10.0

We just spent our 4th new year retreat at Skinner Lake cottage. It is so peaceful, comfortably furnished, close to great places to eat and shop. We bring all our books, make a meal or tea, and relax. Monday was sunny and we had our coffee and read out on the deck. We love this place!

10.0 / 10.0

This is a nice and spacious cabin, right on the lake. The cabin is well appointed and supplied, and clearly well cared for. The back deck would be very nice for the summertime (not so much for us in winter). I took one star off for location because the front of the cabin is right on the highway (set back a bit), with neighbors all around. However, sitting in the back you may not notice.

best little get away cottage!!

10.0 / 10.0

The host provided everything guests needed and more. The place was lovely and peaceful - just what we wanted. Beautiful lake view from the deck. Loved the fact that bottles of cold water were in the refrigerator for us when we arrived - much needed and so thoughtful. I use a walker and all rooms, porch and deck were accessible.

10.0 / 10.0

Everything was so comfortable! Comfy bed and living room outdoor space! A little hidden behind some out buildings but everything was so cute and had everything we needed!

10.0 / 10.0

Very clean, gorgeous scenery, beautiful decor. The family and I enjoyed our time there.

10.0 / 10.0

This was our second year to enjoy time at the Lake Cottage. The "lake" theme is tastefully carried throughout. Access to the paddle boat and the canoe is a plus. Really enjoy waking up in the morning, sitting on the deck, and enjoying the view across the lake. The owners are wonderful to work with. We will definitely be looking to rent it for a third time.

8.0 / 10.0

We genuinely enjoyed our stay. The lake was beautiful and it was nice having the town so close by. The cottage was nicely stocked with amenities. Our one complaint was the bed was extremely soft with a foam mattress topper. Both my husband and I prefer a firmer mattress. Short of that, we have zero complaints and look forward to visiting again.

10.0 / 10.0

Clean and comfortable! Appreciated the little extras like coffee/tea. Outdoor area an added pleasure with choices of activities or relaxing during our wonderful weekend on Skinner Lake!

6.0 / 10.0

Backyard and lake were beautiful. Paddle boat an adventure as well. House was very clean. Just don’t judge the house by its front yard.

10.0 / 10.0

This exceeded our expectations. It was warm and welcoming and the owners had thought of so many things that made the visit nice. Location is wonderful with a great view of the lake. Right on a highway but the house was very quiet. We used it as a base for our visit to Chain O Lakes park. Very convenient

This peopert lacks NOTHING!! Not only is it beautiful and cozy, the owner has thought of everything to make the stay more wonderfull. We really enjoyed the paddle pontoon too. Oh yeah, the lake is nice too ! 🙂

Have stayed here five times, always great! Very relaxing, loved the fireplace, view of the fall colors over the lake.

10.0 / 10.0

What an amazing vacation. We drove up and the front of the house was so cute and inviting. I couldn’t wait to open the door after reading all of the reviews. The entry is roomy, so we were able to bring our things in the front door and drop them while we figure out where to keep it all. The 2nd bedroom isn’t huge, but it works great as a place to sleep. The main bedroom had a closet, dresser and side tables ready for your USB devices. The mattress was so comfy that we bought one for our own bed at home. The bathroom is big and it has a washer and dryer. I am always prepared, so I brought plenty of items just in case like Ziploc bags, trash bags, aluminum foil, etc. Nope. No need. Everything you need is already there. We spent lots of time on the deck and took advantage of the paddleboat. The lake is murky, but welcome to Indiana lakes. We didn’t have luck fishing either, but we had a good time trying. We used the charcoal grill to make brats, and we used the fire pit to make s’mores. It was calming, peaceful and relaxing. What more could you want?

8.0 / 10.0

Great property. All indoor ammenities were top notch. The lake was not clear and the fishing poor.

2.0 / 10.0

Probably not the place for family vacations, but my wife and I were very happy with our stay. If you’re wanting a place to just go and relax with your special someone this is a great choice.

8.0 / 10.0

Overall nice property. Did not like the microfiber sheets on the bed. Air set at 65 which i thought was rather cold. Otherwise needs were thought out and met.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice cottage.

10.0 / 10.0

Very cute place inside and love the patio view. Dont let the outside front view of the neighborhood worry you at first.. just walk in and go to the back lake view. Very quiet in the house, comfy and cuteness all around. Really enjoyed the stay and will book again. It would be perfect for a family with small children based on the bedroom size. Teens dont work as well with the bunks and futon. We used the couch and bunk and it worked fine. The other option is an air mattress and the enclosed porch. Two thumbs up overall!

10.0 / 10.0

All was great except for the fishing! Beautiful view. Very comfortable and all the extras were a nice touch.

Cozy little cottage with a wonderful deck area....soooo relaxing!! Loved the little porch/sunroom too! Amy was quick to respond if we had a question & she had so many extras at the cottage...kitchen was well equipped....bed was very comfortable....bathroom was great with a washer & dryer too. Tons of movies & games....would definitely stay again😊

We enjoyed our stay here for the second time! The house was clean, spacious, fully furnished and had the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The lake out back is beautiful! The host was very responsive, attentive and helpful!

10.0 / 10.0

I have stayed at quite a few VRBOs and this hands down is the most cozy I have ever felt. The beds are comfy and the sheets a delight. The lake is a joy to just watch everything from tubers from 1-4 pm to small turtles looking around in the morning. There are quite a few toys, games, puzzles and books for the littles but you never feel like you are surrounded by kid stuff. It is the small touches that really impressed me: the flower on the handle of the sink stopper or the candles placed around to use or the fairy garden down by the dock or coffee station at the ready. It is really a lovely place and we had a fabulous stay!

10.0 / 10.0

The property and home very well maintained. It truly feels like home away from home. They have so many added touches that make you feel right at home. The home very clean, fresh smelling and inviting as soon as you enter the house. This is our first time staying at the house, but definitely plan to stay again.

10.0 / 10.0

We come back again and again because we love the cottage and lake.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cabin! My husband said it was his best Father’s Day ever!
