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 .
This place is amazing! Right off of the lake and the owners are so amazing they responded so quickly! There's plenty of toys and linen! The lake is clean and great!

Beautiful view
Location and beautiful views of the lake and sunsets from outdoor/sun porch made for relaxing stay. Short drive to all there is to do in Shipshewana was convenient. Cottage furnishings are dated.
