The lake does not permit motors. The host used a personalized entry code for us; this was very thoughtful and made it easy to remember.The kitchen and bathroom are larger than other lake cottages we’ve seen and are nicely updated. The kitchen was stocked to the max with dishes. All pots and pans were in excellent condition. There was a large assortment of cooking supplies (spices, oils, etc.)The beds were comfortable.The combination gas/charcoal grill was like new.The lake atmosphere here is very quiet and relaxing; there are multiple decks on which to sit, sun, relax; deck furniture is in excellent condition; docks are well-maintained; the paddle boat and kayaks were fun to use; there are an abundance of good quality life preservers and towels.As listed, the stairs are narrow and steep; we easily managed them (the automatic lights are great!); people with limited mobility should look elsewhere, though.We had occasion to talk with the host; she was very friendly and concerned that we were enjoying our stay. ![The lake from the upper deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8768d4fc-b675-4674-b188-470922ffd207-1753711535368.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dock and paddle boat](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e39696eb-f39c-4b5d-ae16-8b39c2e6a0bd-1753711579173.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kathy M.

Quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. It was a toasty week but there is plenty of shade and water. Between the covered porch and some well located, large trees, we had shade most of the day on one of the several areas available to relax. Got a chance to hike the nature preserve a bit and enjoy several restaurants in town. We would definitely stay here again. ##### James B.

Very functional for a 3 week stay. Only suggestion is an exhaust fan in bathroom would have been helpful when we had to all shower. (Little window opens and it helped) ##### Melinda E.

Great accomodtions and helpful host. And... the paddle boat was a real hit with mu grandson. Also, met the neighbor who was very kind and friendly. Finally, I have to add that it was a wonderful sound of silence with no power boats of any kind being allowed on this lake. ##### Steven J.

The house was the cleanest we've ever rented for a vacation, and we were appreciative of all the small details and conveniences the host added, like having a few toiletries for the restroom and spices & condiments in the kitchen, to name a few. We were pleasantly surprised to have a washer and dryer, and all furniture and appliances seemed brand new! Beds and couches were super comfy too. The lake was pure bliss and we thoroughly enjoyed kayaking, paddle boating and fishing. The host was extremely helpful and so quick at responding to any questions we had. I felt like she truly cared about us having a good time, which was refreshing! The area was so quiet and was the perfect setting for a tranquil vacation. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful spot to get away! ##### Elizabeth L.

We did some exploring in Goshen and Nappanee, but mostly stuck around the home visiting. The home has everything we needed. The only unforeseen incident was that, while running the dishwasher and the microwave, we tripped a breaker. We found the breaker box and fixed it and didn't run the two at the same time, again. ##### Cathy B.
