Leaf peepin for the weekend

Perfect little spot for the two of us plus the pup. We enjoyed our quiet weekend on this beautiful little lake. The ladies who live here were kind and attentive but not intrusive. The only thing I would advise is if your pup isn’t other pet friendly I would let them know ahead of your arrival. The owners pups were very friendly and we had no issues but I do know sometimes a rescue pup prefers to be by themselves and the fenced in area is a shared space with the owners dogs. When we booked I didn’t look closely enough at the amenities and didn’t realize there isn’t a stove in the guest house. There is an easy to use grill right outside the door that we used our cast iron skillet in to make most of our meals. It worked perfectly for us but may not be for everyone. All in all we had a great weekend.

Rained in and still had a great time!

We arrived late in the season this year, so it was very rainy during our stay. However the small house was comfortable and enjoyable enough that it didn't matter that we were rained in. Tammy and Sally provided plenty of little extras for us to make us comfortable. Are small puppy Winston really enjoyed the wide backyard to run and play and they were even some balls provided for him to enjoy. Both of the older dogs that live in the house are very friendly and got along with our boy wonderfully. Enjoyed ourselves so much that we will probably be booking our honeymoon in the same place. Look forward to seeing you guys again.

Lewis Lake Guest House

We enjoyed our stay at Lewis Lake and that we could take our dog along! The hosts were easy to talk to and the house had all that you'd need. The house is a good location for activities in Northern Indiana or Lake Michigan. Lewis Lake was a quiet peaceful lake and the hosts had a paddle boat and kayaks we could use.
