Welcome to ‘Tis Our Cottage – overlooked the lake, where the brilliant fall colors reflected across the water in peaceful beauty. Your Perfect Lake House Retreat
Escape to tranquility and adventure in Howe, Indiana where relaxation meets excitement on the serene shores of our no-wake lake. As you step inside, you’re greeted by an inviting open-concept space designed for both comfort and enjoyment. With a breeze outside or the comfort of central air..
The Heart of the Home
The spacious kitchen, fully equipped with modern appliances including an air-frying oven, refrigerator with ice maker, and dishwasher, is perfect for crafting delightful meals. Enjoy the convenience of a hidden in-cabinet wastebasket, a large island ideal for gathering, and all the cooking essentials you need—from dishes and silverware to a blender and crockpot. Adjacent to the kitchen is the cozy living room, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows with picture views of the lake, framed by lush shade trees.
Comfort and Convenience
The home boasts thoughtful touches to enhance your stay. Bluetooth stereo system streams your favorite tunes throughout, while strategically placed plug-ins and night lights offer ease of movement and a cozy atmosphere. Unwind on the reclining couch or chair, while the TV mounted on the wall provides your current binge entertainment. The bathroom is equipped with a stylish vanity, large mirror, and a refreshing shower with on-demand hot water.
Work with a View
A dedicated desk area with a lake view provides a perfect spot to catch up on work with StarLink for Internet, or simply enjoy the serene surroundings.
Restful Retreats
Upstairs, discover two beautifully bedrooms. The first features a queen-sized bed, floating bedside tables with phone chargers, and a ceiling fan for a gentle breeze. The second bedroom offers stunning lake views through expansive windows, ensuring privacy with easy-to-use blinds. A handmade barn-wood headboard complements the queen-sized bed, creating a warm and inviting space. Both rooms provide handcrafted hickory benches and thoughtful amenities for a restful stay.
Outdoor Adventures Await
Head down to the lake where you can enjoy the dock, perfect for canoeing or kayaking (ask for additional rental information). The clear waters, smooth lake rocks, and scenic surroundings make for a delightful experience. Swim to the sandbar or simply float and soak in the sun—just remember to use sunblock and opt for plastic or aluminum beverage containers.
As evening approaches, gather around the fire pit by the lake, or head to the top deck for stunning sunset views while lounging on patio furniture or at the picnic table. For grilling enthusiasts, a grill is conveniently located on the large patio.
Local Tips and Etiquette
Respecting the peaceful environment and our friendly neighbors is key. Bring your fishing license if you plan to fish, and enjoy spotting wildlife and turtles as you paddle across the lake.
A Warm Welcome
We hope you find ‘Tis Our Cottage to be your ultimate retreat, blending relaxation, adventure, and the comfort of home. Feel free to reach out with any questions or needs during your stay.
Enjoy your visit and make wonderful memories!

About the host
Hosted by Kathy Cossairt

I’m passionate about the outdoors, decorating spaces to make them feel welcoming, and meeting new people. Hosting allows me to combine these interests by creating a comfortable and stylish environment where guests can relax and enjoy their stay. I love hearing from people from all walks of life and sharing the special touches I’ve put into my space.
Why they chose this property
I've always cherished lake life, having spent my childhood summers on the water. Cedar Lake holds a special place in my heart, as my husband and I purchased my grandparents' cottage and have created countless memories there with our kids. What I love most about the neighborhood is the serene beauty of the lake, perfect for swimming and fishing. The sense of community and the picturesque setting make it a wonderful place to relax and connect with nature.
What makes this property unique
What sets my property apart is its perfect combination of tranquility and convenience. Situated by a clean, peaceful lake, it provides a serene retreat while remaining close to vibrant destinations. Just 2 miles from the Michigan border and the Indiana Toll Road, this charming getaway offers easy access to various activities. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a 45-minute drive to cheer on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish or play a round of golf at Cedar Lake Golf Course, just 1 minute away. Discover Amish culture and unique shopping in Shipshewana, 15 minutes away. Groceries and essentials are conveniently located 5 minutes away in Sturgis, MI, and you’ll have access to the public boat landing
