Relaxing two bedroom cottage with a view located on beautiful Sand Lake. Cottage has a deck to sit outside and enjoy your morning coffee. This lakehouse cottage is thoughtfully decorated in a nautical theme. Sunroom right off living room facing the water. Great fishing right from the dock or you can take a row boat out for further adventures. Paddle boat, row boats, paddle boards and kayaks are also provided. Sand Lake County Park located two blocks away to put your boat in. Sand lake is a 102 acre all sports lake with great fishing. Property does have a cement seawall at the water. The Lake House is one of five properties we rent out on the property.
This cozy cottage is perfect for four, but it can sleep up to seven. There are two bedrooms, plus a queen sleeper sofa in the sunroom which can be used as a third bedroom as well as a futon sofa in the living room. One bedroom with queen mattress and one bedroom with a twin bunk bed. The kitchen is small but does allows for meal preparation for dining, and an outdoor grill is also provided to dine on the deck. We also provide WIFI and smart TV with Hulu, PhiloTV, Espn+ and Disney+ are included. Family games and puzzles are also provided for late nights in.
Located on Sand Lake in Nottawa Township in Amish country, it’s just a quick 30 minute drive to Shipshewana for flea market shopping (May - Sept.) and great Amish culture and cuisine. Yoder’s Country Market a 4 minute drive towards Centerville. Great golfing nearby with Island Hills Golf Club being just a 6 minute drive and St. Joe County Golf Club less then a mile away. Swiss Valley Ski and snowboard area 34 minutes away for winter time fun!
Paddle boat, row boats, paddle boards and kayaks available for free but are shared among all cottage guests. First come, first shared. Water trampoline, life jackets and yard games available also. Plenty to go around. All 3 docks are shared and available for guests to use. The Lakefront is a common area and shared by other guests. We also have a large fire pit in the common area.
The lake is clean and not excessively "weedy". Sand lake does have a sandy bottom! There are no lilly pads. My kids love jumping right off the dock! The lake does have a cement seaswall. If you prefer a more "beachy" experience, there is a sandy beach located at the county park just a few blocks or kayak ride away!
A well stocked convince store, Sand Lake Grocery, is just a block away and sells amazingly good brats and has a huge ice cream shop in the back. Great made to order pizza and burgers too! A definite must.
We do allow pets with a $50 per pet fee which must be collected separately after you make your reservation. Please include the breed and size of your pet when making your reservation. You will also be required to agree to our pet policy.
All guests must be disclosed and on your reservation! No parties or family gatherings are allowed. The lakefront is for registered guests only. We do this to keep the swimming area uncrowded and enjoyable for all of our guests.

If you would like to have a family gathering we recommend Sand Lake County Park. Unauthorized guests will result in a $100 per day fee.
