We are NOT a party house and have a strict 10pm - 7am noise rule. After 10pm our neighbors should not hear you.

If you're looking to explore, you're just 11 minutes from the famous Shipshewana, Indiana, known for its Blue Gate restaurant, the Shipshewana Flea Market, unique shops, and the renowned Blue Gate Theatre. Middlebury is only 9 minutes away, offering local dining and shopping, and a charming small-town atmosphere. We're within minutes of the toll road, making the University of Notre Dame only 40 minutes away, making it easy to attend games and events while avoiding the heavy traffic. Nestled in the heart of lake country, this property offers a relaxing escape with easy access to local attractions, including Shipshewana, Middlebury, and other nearby communities like Goshen, Topeka, and Nappanee. Enjoy a slower pace—aka "Lake Life"—at Stone Lake Cottage Retreat. The private pier is directly across the road from the cottage. The pier, four kayaks, and floating Frog Pad are typically available May 15 through October 15, weather permitting. The lake has a mostly sandy bottom near the pier, and water depth and footing can vary. Please watch for traffic when crossing and supervise children near the water. Our quiet and peaceful lake, Stone Lake, is a no-wake lake with a maximum of 10mph. Launch one of the provided kayaks for a peaceful paddle, the floating dock (Frog Pad provided), or cast a line right from the pier (bring your own fishing equipment). After a day on the water, relax on the lakeside chairs, gather around the fire pit, or head inside for a round on the Infinity Game Table. Whether you're fishing, floating, or just taking it slow, this retreat is built for memory-making. 🙼🙼 Need more space?

The cottage was exactly as described and was very cute and peaceful! I stayed for a weekend in the winter, so the lake was frozen, but the scenery was lovely and the space was very relaxing.
