Such a quiet peaceful setting. A place that was truly a home away from home. We enjoyed just sitting on the porch and the sun room watching the water and the neighboring wildlife.
Perfect place for my husband & me to relax. View to the lake was gorgeous & cottage had everything needed!!

Thank you for hosting us at your cute Sunset Cottage. It was very cozy and decorated so cute. I loved having my morning breakfast and coffee on the deck and looking at the lake.We were only 15 minutes from Shipshawana shopping then came back to the Cottage to enjoy 2 awesome sunsets!
We had a lovely time at Sunset Cottage Lake house! What wonderful memories we made. It was so relaxing and in a comfortable setting especially being able to rent the pontoon boat for lake fun and fishing!! Everything was there we needed for cooking and grilling out.Thank you for providing a place for relaxation and reconnecting as a couple ....its a memory we will always cherish!Ryan and Kim
We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Cottage and plan to return to the peaceful retreat. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The beds were provided a good night’s sleep. The lake view from the enclosed back porch was beautiful and relaxing. Krista, our host was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. If you’re near Shipshewana, this is a great place to stay.
Perfect, cool place for the two of us even talked about coming back to check it out for the summer due to the fact it was winter and very cold pleasant place. Thank you for the stay.
A wonderful weekend at the lake! Our family had the best time kayaking and paddle boarding. The house had everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood for a peaceful stay.
The water is so blue! We love being able to go out and not have to worry about weeds. The cottage had everything we needed! If we did need to go get something down the road was Dollar General and we found extra stuff there!Krista was very responsive to anything going on or questions we had! We would totally stay here again!
Stayed for a weekend and it was perfect! The rental has so much to do, paddle boards, kayaks, a paddle pontoon, and pontoon rental. The pontoon rental was amazing, it was dropped off to us and picked up. It was so peaceful. I cannot say enough good things of the service and response time of the owners. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to many!!
We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Cottage very much. Sunsets were beautiful (see photo) and accommodations were great. Only issue we had was the coffee maker was not advertised as a Keurig. Minor setback was quickly resolved with a visit to the local Walmart .
