Pulling Competition
We came to Shipshewana MEC Center for a truck and tractor pull event - the property was great!! Due to the cold weather a couple of us considered staying at the house and watching the event via live stream!! that's how comfortable the house was - with the propane fireplace and stunning view (it was snowing great big flakes) The host answered all my questions before our trip and house was well stocked with towels - highly recommend - Thanks

Peaceful retreat
We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful lakeside home. The lake was full of wildlife: turtles, deer geese loons. We kayaked around the lake everyday. Such a peaceful area and we were close to Shipshewana so we were able to go a horse auction and a swap meet as well as some of the local stores. Sarah was quick to reply to all of my questions. We will definitely want to stay here again!

Relax & unwind at Lakeside Retreat
We had a great stay at Lakeside Retreat!! The house had everything we needed for our quick 3-day getaway. The beds & pillows were very comfortable and the house was clean and welcoming. The outdoor patio was fantastic!! We had a bonfire the first night and made use of the kayaks as well. The lake is calm & beautiful; I loved watching the turtles pop their heads up near the pier and the beautiful swan swimming across the lake was the icing on the cake. We will definitely be back!

Summer Vacay
We really enjoyed our stay at the lake! The property was exactly like the listing pictures and description. There was plenty to do! The kayaks and canoe were easy to access and we used them everyday. We had icecream in Howe and the kids played on the playground in the evening. Another day we spent the afternoon shopping in Shipshewana and the kids enjoyed the carousel. We will definitely be back!
