Great clean property. Window air conditioner with the use of fans did a great job keeping the place cool all week long. Sandy bottom beach was great for the grandkids and the evenings were peaceful sitting out around the fire.

Great Lake Cabin

My family recently spent a week at this lake cottage. We had a great time. The cabin was clean and had a great view of the lake. The dock was convenient for lakeside activities. The property was well maintained. The kitchen was well supplied and we appreciated the washer and dryer.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Liz Auger

Host profile image
We moved to Indiana from England in 2001. We enjoy taking family vacations especially by a lake or the beach.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property because of the history in the area, the beautiful setting and the great location on the lake. This is the original home built on the property and has been lovingly maintained and updated throughout the years, so you get the sense of time standing still with the convenience of modern utilities.

What makes this property unique

The big trees and beautiful lake views make it a very peaceful spot. The awesome sunsets can be enjoyed both outdoors on the patio and indoors from the picture windows.
Although secluded and peaceful, there are also many amenities available for those days when you want to venture out to civilization...Angola and Pokagon State Park are 15 minutes away, downtown Fort Wayne is 45 minutes, and downtown Chicago is 2.5 hrs drive.
