Cute small cottage on Lake Witmer!
The cottage was clean and nice. Easy access to parking, entry and good space for a small group to stay. The host was friendly and helpful. Easy to communicate and responsive. The additional pontoon rental availability was great! The lake was beautiful. It met our needs perfectly!

We enjoyed our stay in this newly renovated 2 BR cottage. Additional plus was the pontoon boat that we could rent and cruise the Witmer and joining lake.

Warm and inviting little cottage
Cottage was exceptionally clean and inviting. We had a wonderful stay. I would suggest, if you like cozy/softer beds, to bring your own mattress topper. The mattresses are a little dated/firm. The neighbors were pleasantly friendly. If you enjoy waking early, you can sit out on the patio and watch the neighbor roll his yard with a large riding “steamroller” machine. Nice location on the water. Enjoyed watching the ducks swim around.

Such a peaceful and beautiful place. Great neighbors. Great fishing. I enjoyed the fire pit while my husband caught fish right off the front yard! Our dog was welcome and that is such a bonus. The Hosts are very accommodating too. Can’t wait to come back.

Peaceful and relaxing!
My family and I stayed here on a trip to Shipshewana, which was a short and easy ride from the house. The house was everything it was supposed to be and more. Very clean, peaceful and relaxing. The owner was very helpful in answering our questions and we were even able to get some firewood delivered. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay again. Thanks for a great place to stay!

Perfect mix of relaxation and fun
Our family stayed for 4 nights. The kids enjoyed kayaking, paddle boating, swimming and fishing right off the dock. We brought our boat and enjoyed cruising, tubing and fishing out on the lakes but watch out for that low bridge to get to the neighboring lakes. Lol.

A Wonderful Retreat
We had a wonderful relaxing stay at the cottage. It was so quiet there, the lake was beautiful and we were lucky to have great weather for our trip. The cottage was clean and we had everything we needed to be comfortable. The communication with the owners was excellent and it was so fun to have the opportunity to rent the pontoon! By the end of our stay, the family didn't want to leave and are likely going to beg me to re-book next year. Warning to next family who stays there: Beware of the duck next door-he'll chase and nip ya! lol :)

Father's Day Weekend
Enjoyed afternoon visits from daughter and grandkids, then son and daughter-in-law. Everyone wants to go back! Amenities I would suggest having salt and pepper shakers in the kitchen and a hair dryer in the bathroom. We did get to use the paddle boat after we figured out how to get in and back out using the seawall. Dock is too high for small boats
