The 3rd bedroom/4th bathroom in the detached “Casita” building , is not heated thus it is closed from Nov to Feb. It also has a two temperature zone electric heating blanket.

The lake pier/dock is in and usable (from April/May to Sept) for fishing, sandy soil for swimming, paddle boat and kayaks. Water toys, fishing poles, life jackets, and paddles are stored in the back of the house to the left of the deck, behind two small doors. (April to Sept only). The pier/dock and boats are taken out during off season (Oct-March).

Stone lake has plenty of bluegill, perch, bass, and catfish. Fishing is great year around. Check out the picture I have of a small fish near the pier.

The cottage is fully stocked with books, cable, WIFI, board games, toys, life jackets (indoor/out), kitchen, Keurig, coffee pot, videos etc.

The Smart tv’s offers most of the popular streaming services that you can log into using your account #.

We have well water, but I have installed water filters on the kitchen sink, all of the shower heads, bathroom sinks and a water softer to enhance the water quality .

The property is located on a quite “dead end” street, thus safe for kids, and includes a large back yard to use.

Down town Middlebury is only 5 miles away. It offers several local Microbreweries, bike trails, mini golf, the famous Amish Dutchman Das Essenhause restaurant, nature gardens, parks, local Amish bakery/deli, and much more.

The nearby town of Shipshewana (5 miles) offers Amish stores, restaurants, auctions, crafts, flee market, Blue Gate theater, Dutch Creek animal park, mini golf, Yoder meat and cheese, and many other attractions.

We also provide a computer monitor and printer for your mobile office needs. You will need the cables to connect to each depending on the type of laptop you have.

From October to April the pier/dock will be removed along with the boat and kayaks, due to the cold water and being the “off season”.

The WIFI and Amazon streaming video codes are on the fridge door.

We do NOT allow pets because some of my guests have pet allergies and some pets can damage the cottage when left alone in a new place.

Trash (two trash totes on wheels pier 146) pickup is every Wednesday.

If time allows, please do a light clean up before you leave.

You can call, text or e-mail me anytime.
