Lake house holiday rentals in Lake Wawasee

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my stay at the lake cottage. I came to town expecting to stay just a couple nights. When my plans changed due to unforeseen circumstances, the host was quick to help me extend my stay which eased the stress of the situation. The view is absolutely stunning, and the deck is a great place to watch it from. One couldn’t ask for a better view from the main bedroom, living room, or kitchen. The bed was very comfortable, as was the rest of the furniture. The home is beautifully decorated, and well taken care of. The kayaks were a nice addition. This became a soothing place for my soul, and was the perfect retreat. I loved this home and hope to visit again.

Lacy's place is even better in person. It was so cozy. She had lots of little touches that made our stay better. We had so much fun with the kayaks, she had logs ready for a fire, lots of places to sit outside. Our family of four was very comfortable. We really appreciated the cold filtered water. The neighbors were all so nice and we even met several Amish families and saw many horse and buggy driving by. It was quite an amazing experience.

Our second summer vacation here and again, we loved it! Lots of room for the whole family, convenient to town for groceries, and so so relaxing. Sitting out on the deck in the morning with coffee is so peaceful …the place has everything you need and we love the big dining table to eat and place games in the evening after a long day on the water. Sad that the week is already over and can’t wait until next time!

So glad I stumbled upon Steph's Ice House listing. Had a peaceful, almost secluded stay yet close to the many Shipshewana attractions. Impeccably clean and decorated, with modern amenities which would be fantastic for an extended stay. Steph sent a greeting message immediately after my booking and followed up with detailed instructions and area tips. Was pleasantly surprised with doughnuts and popcorn when I arrived, a very nice touch. Looking forward to booking with her again!

We had a great time! And, we would come back. Beautiful view of the lake, beautifully decorated and great layout. It was so nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. Plenty of towels and lake towels as well. Easily accommodated 3 couples. A great place for families as well! Hosts were very responsive and helpful with questions. The kitchen was well stocked. It was so nice to have the kayaks available and the pontoon was really fun. Drive to Notre Dame was easy.

I loved staying at Sharon's place. It was cozy and comfortable. I love when a host does the "little things" for their guests such as the Dr. Teal's lotion and bubble bath, make-up towels, toys for the little ones etc. I felt very safe, and the peace and serenity were what I was looking for with this get-away. We ate at Destination 814 and it was delicious. We also drove down to Shipshewana and enjoyed shopping and picking up some local desserts. All around great host and great trip.

Beautiful, beautiful location. The lake view from the living room windows is amazing. It’s a very easy walk to the little beach, but the dock area right off the house is also shallow enough to wade. The included amenities are above and beyond to help you make the most of your time there and really enjoy the lake life.

Spent the weekend and had a wonderful time. The place is beautiful and as pictured and described. The view off the lake is amazing and lots of breeze coming off of it. The beds were extremely comfortable and had nice pillows, linens, and extra pillows and blankets. Fans were provided in both bedrooms. Water was hot and all hygiene was provided. The kitchen is well stocked. The hosts were reachable and gave clear directions on entrance and how to work the air, heat, and TV. Would definitely recommend to stay here and make sure to go for a visit in Shipshewana.

The Airbnb my work crew stayed in was perfect for what we needed. Great location and the accommodations were perfect.

Had a girl’s weekend and there was plenty of space for everyone to sleep. Decor was stylish, plenty of seating arrangements, and plenty of outdoor activities. Beautiful house, great scenery, and owner was great communicator!

Joe house was very nice and spacious and my family enjoyed it with great memories.

It was a family gathering with several adults and several young children and 2 smaller dogs. We had a fantastic time re-connecting! Jamie’s fenced yard and deck and ample parking gave us peace of mind while enjoying the beauty. The house is very well constructed and the layout of rooms as well. She has furnished the house beautifully and stocked quality dinnerware , towels, linens as well as many quality items for cooking. Her eye for detail and organization made it a pure pleasure to be there.

We came into town for a wedding and brought our 2 dogs and wanted to stay someplace safe and quiet and we definitely found that with Edgar’s home. The location was easy to find and it was nice to have private parking right along the lake. The access to the home was easy and the home nicely is decorated with every amenity you need to cook your own food. Views from the home are lovely and we went out onto the dock and spent time on the private beach a couple of the nights we were there. The beds were extremely comfortable and there were plenty of towels, which I appreciated. Location makes it easy to get into town for grocery shopping and there is a brewery in town that makes great smash burgers called Useless Creatures. We walked around the neighborhood a couple of times and we also found a great hiking spot to take the dogs very nearby. Overall, a very comfortable stay in a beautiful location.

Great place for our wedding! We rented all 4 cabins for the full family.

The house was spotless, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything possibly needed to cook or prepare meals. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and we enjoyed relaxing on the back porch and listening to nothing but birds singing. The bed we used was comfortable, and the shower in the master bathroom was beautiful and very well constructed. We had a very nice, relaxing stay.

House had everything we needed for our family to gather and feel at home. Having firewood readily available for campfires was great. We made some great family memories this past weekend!

Michele's cottage was so cozy & the river views were just stunning!! I spent hours just sitting on the pier, watching otters swim & listening to the variety of bird songs! It was such a peaceful & beautiful experience. Thank you Michele!

This place was a great weekend stay for my husband and I. We enjoyed the nature and the birds chirping when we woke up. I just loved the walk down to the lake and the little chipmunks running around. I just loved the place in general it was so peaceful and beautiful in the morning. I highly recommend if you’re a nature person. I will be coming back this place was beautiful.

It was such a beautiful stay. The back of the house faces the quiet channel in a circular view, which allows for a lovely view and breeze. The house had an inviting layout, great for our family vacation. The shed in the back was accommodating with lots of water toys, especially for kids. There is a little private and very clean beach area that was great for the kids as well. We look forward to coming back!

This Lakes James retreat is just as promised. It is bright, clean, has everything you need to feel right at home, and the view of the lake is spectacular. Due to the timing of our stay, we weren't able to use the lake front cabin, but it would be perfect for a summer visit. Travis is extremely responsive to questions. We highly recommend this location to others.

Beautiful home, they were so helpful accommodating my messed up work schedule.. the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Definitely going to come back and recommend this home to everyone!

Beautiful cozy home very peaceful right on the water where you can fish or feed the turtles& frogs!

We had a great stay at Micaiah and Anna’s. The home is cozy, comfortable and spacious. They were quick to respond with any questions and accommodating. They also provided us with the local marina to book a boat for the weekend. We had a wonderful time on the lake.

Great location. Loved the kayaks. The house is amazing and we had plenty of room. The river is really not swimmable but pretty to look at.
