The only thing that I can think of Is to take the Ouija Board that you have nailed up on the wall, is to maybe consider taking it down cause it may offend some people!! Other than that we feel it was great!!

Great week at Lake Oliver🌞

Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable! Beautiful view of lake and the cottage had everything we needed. The deck was so nice for meals and relaxing. The home was very comfortable and well maintained with beautiful gardens. Kids were able to swim from pier….loved the games and puzzles and nice fire pit for S’mores! The lake is quiet and several sandy areas to anchor and swim. The cottage was perfect for us and hope to return.

Relax @ LOLO's

Great place to completely relax, very clean, and very nicely detailed. Even had jackets in the closet for those of us that had forgotten when it gets a little cooler on the water. Beautiful view from the large windows and the new deck is beautiful! Thanks, The Harvey's

Great Vacation

This is our second time staying at this house. It is a beautiful house, very clean, and stocked with just about anything you need. Lynn is very nice and very helpful in answering any questions you may have. The lake is really nice and overall pretty quite. We have really enjoyed both of our vacations here and will definitely be back again!!

A Wonderful Place to Stay

This house is always clean and well maintained. It's in a great location, whether your preference is for day trips to Shipshewana or just hanging out on the deck. Lynn and Trenia are attentive and friendly, and the most gracious hosts. Five stars all the way!

Excellent experience, will be back!

Working with the property owner was great as we were having odd check-in times. The cottage was beautiful and clean, plenty of rooms for another family. The lake was so nice, thinking about renting again this summer to make better use of it. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

Terrific Hosts!

We returned to Lolo's Lakeside Retreat for the second time this summer. Lynn and Trina were again, the quintessential hosts! The house and beautifully landscaped yard were in pristine order when we arrived. The weather was terrific for outdoor dining every meal every day! We even caught a few bass! We look forward to our next stay at Lolo's--thanks again, Lynn and Trina!

This is a great location if you're seeking to shop or visit the nearby Amish communities. Love having the lake to look out on in the evening, and especially enjoy the large deck, which makes entertaining and visiting so much fun.

Oliver Lake Life is so relaxing

Large older spacious home ready for family and friends to enjoy the lake. Very peaceful area and wonderful hosts that live behind the house in a newer home. Our son rented a pontoon boat and it was fun for all. Water is shallow for quite a ways out so it is good for children. We are returning next year which will be our 5th year. Great casual living on Oliver Lake.

Relaxing Get-A-Way

Our stay was for two nights with 6 adults. We enjoyed time on the deck and the spacious living room. We mostly used the home for sleeping as we were out and about during the day in Shipshewana. Having the one shower was not an issue for us as we all got up at different times, just takes some planning. We found Coody Brown's Lakeside Grill the first evening for dinner. There is a Dollar General not far to stock up on snacks.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Bowen

Long time lake residents in this location. Owners live next door. Retired professionals. The home was previously owned by parents since 1960.

Why they chose this property

Family home. Did not want to lose the home or the eighty feet of lake frontage that goes along with the house. Ski lake for boating. South shore undeveloped and protected. Not overcrowded like so many lakes in northeast Indiana. Connects to other lakes in chain.

What makes this property unique

Lifetime residents of area. Fell in love with all aspects of lake living when we moved here after attending and graduating from college in 1983.
