About this property

Rent out Papas Cottage to make memories of a lifetime

I have a beautiful cottage on Legacy Hills Golf Course and just a 5 min walk to our private community beach on Pinelake. It has 2 bedrooms 1 Full bath. All remodeled. Sleeps 6.It has 1 queen bed, 2 twin x-long beds, 2 full size sofas . Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, coffee pot, microwave and washer & dryer. Beautiful views of the golf course from the big deck out front or private patio in the backyard. The cottage has central air, wifi, cable tv in all rooms and DVD players with provided DVDā€™s. I also provide a variety of board and card games.There is a grill in the backyard with a wood fire pit & a gas fire pit on the front patio as well as lots of outdoor backyard games for all ages . The cottage has everything you need so you can just unpack and enjoy. The cottage is pet friendly for an additional pet fee of 20.00 dollars per day.No more than two dogs over 50lbs . The yard isn't all the way fenced in so I provide a chain outside..My cottage is on a dead end street so parking is limited to only 3 cars. I also have wonderful neighbors so we expect our guests to respect there privacy and not get to loud. There is so much to do in Laporte and the surrounding areas. Great restaurants, Fishing Casinos,Lighthouse mall,Lake Michigan,Notre dame, Wine tours And so much more.

Perfect, safe, cozy and has everything!

From the moment our kids walked in they told us this was the nicest place we have ever stayed and we have stayed at a lot of places. Everyone felt safe and comfortable there and they have so many different games and things to do. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

The cottage was in a quiet neighborhood. We were provided with several activities to do at the cottage and the beach was just a shirt walk. Amber was a great host and was easy to contact with any questions.

Loved our lake house stay

Papas cottage was perfect for hosting our family of four-updated and comfortable. Amber thought of every little detail. We especially loved the beach toys and chairs along with a wagon to haul it all. Pine lake was not crowded and perfect for our 10 and 13 year old to try tubing for the first time. And we were a short drive from Lake Michigan excursions and a trip to the dunes.

Wonderful relaxing getaway close to home

Papas Cottage is exactly as advertised. The home has everything you need for your stay, and things you didn't even realize you might want. The owner is a great communicator and I really appreciated her attention to detail. The neighbors were also super friendly and helpful.The sanded beach is just a few minutes away and my kids LOVED jumping off the dock there and splashing around. Oh and my dog loved the backyard and lazing in the sun. Overall a perfect escape for my little family.

Grandpas Cottage

The property is very nice with a great location. Unfortunately, there was only one bathroom and the seal on the toilet had failed so it leaked water on the floor after every use. I spent a considerable amount of time cleaning it up and rewashing the towels used to absorb the water. In addition, the description did not accurately reflect that the water could not be used to cook in or be consumed. Bottled water was not provided for either use so we had to purchase water. Thankfully, we were only there for two nights and didnā€™t plan on cooking. Wonderful decorating and comfortable beds however!

Hi David I apologize about the seal around the toilet unfortunately, random things happen can happen. The issue was address and fixed. Also, in my pre-arrival notes I state that Iā€™m on well water so you need to provide your own water. Other than a few minor issues Iā€™m glad you enjoyed your comfortable two night stay. Thank you
