About this property

Lakefront property and relaxing getaway. Nearby golf courses. Amish shops and lots of dining. Beautiful scenery and wildlife to enjoy from a private back porch. Our home is located on a wooded cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood.

A beautifully built home that has lots of space inside. Sleeps up to 4 adults. Huge kitchen, back porch with a full view of the lake. A dock with canoes available.

Lots of windows, and a large kitchen for cooking and dining. The kitchen comes equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, stove, crock-pot, Keurig, full coffee-pot, lots of dishes, pots and pans, and utensils all in good condition. Two dining areas that can seat up to 8.

Two bedrooms, both with closets. One with a queen, the other bedroom with a bunk bed and a trundle bed.

We have central heating and AC so the home is comfortable for visitors all winter and summer long.

We have a flat-screen TV with an attached HDMI cord and Wifi. You can connect your laptop and connect to our internet service to watch whatever you want.

The home is nestled on Boner lake and is also very close to two large, all-sports lakes (Lakes Syracuse and Wawasee). Public swim areas are available at the nearby lakes. Parking space enough for two cars is available on the circle. Please park so that you do not obstruct the circle road that the neighbors use or the neighboring driveways. While we want you to enjoy and have fun, this is not a house for wild partying. 10:00 pm is quiet time.

We have two 14-ft, 3-seat canoes available to use. You must sign a release form prior to use.

With regards to swimming in our lake, lily pads near our dock inhibit swimming off of our property. The best swimming spots in the area are the public beaches at Lakes Syracuse and Wawasee, which are very close. Our lake is a great lake for fishing and canoeing in the area.

FOR YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY, we take extra efforts to clean and sanitize all surfaces in the house. We provide pillows and pillowcases, sheets, mattress covers and blankets. All bedding is cleaned and disinfected prior to guests' arrival. For your peace of mind, we will not book the house two days prior to your visit to allow for proper cleaning.

PAYMENT: We ONLY accept payment through the VRBO payment process. We do not payment by check or through a 3rd party.

Peaceful property

We have enjoyed staying at this property for a few years now and it is a perfect getaway. It is quiet on this particular lake and very serene for enjoying your morning coffee on the porch swing. The property owners are very responsive, which is always a plus.

Serene getaway

We loved the solitude of this lake house. While it was small, the kitchen was fully stocked with supplies and plenty of room. We spent most of our time on the back porch swing, taking in the serene lake view and nature. It was so relaxing going out on the canoes to enjoy the lake a bit more. It was great for a relaxing couple weekend away from the kids.

Nice quiet get away

This is a nice quiet place to stay. Lots of nature, animals in the evenings. Neighbors were friendly. We struggled with checking in but believe it was a glitch with the app itself. The beds were not super comfy but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely home, and hub in a great area!

Cute & affordadable getaway in the heart of Amish country. Tom was EXTREMELY responsive and accomodating. The house had all we needed for my wife and I and two adult kids. Enjoyed use of the canoes on the peaceful lake and it was a great hub to the visit Midwest Museum of Art & Menno-Hof as well as Amish shops and nature areas. Highly reccomend!

Perfect for us.

This cute little cottage has much more room than it looks in the pictures. It was clean, and comfortable. Carolyn and Tom were very accommodating and easy to work with. Quick to respond when we had a question. Loved the covered back yard patio/porch. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen has lots of counter space and was easy for meal prep. Used the nice fire pit every night. We really enjoyed our stay. We would stay there again without a doubt.

Wonderful lakeside retreat!

My wife, two youngest children, and I enjoyed a wonderful week at Tom and Carolyn's home on the lake. The house is beautiful, set in a quiet neighborhood just a few minutes from anything you might need. The dock offered a wonderful place for the kids to cast a line, the fire pit allowed for s'mores, and the home had everything needed for our stay - including a washer and dryer, which was great when traveling with a 4 and 6 year old. This place is a beaut - we'll definitely return any time we're visiting our daughter in Goshen (just minutes away). Thanks again, Tom and Carolyn! - Michael & Jodi

Lakeside ranch Syracuse Indiana

The house was great! It was well equipped with everything we needed, very clean and well kept. The kitchen is fantastic. Would rent again. Just a couple things that could be improved over time. The bed and living room furnishings could be improved. Not very comfortable for sharing the bed as any movement very disruptive. Sofa is sleep sofa and very low. Was hard for senior to get up. No cable tv but limited channels. The lake is nice but under water foliage made it difficult to get in or fish from the pier. Neighborhood was hit and miss. Some were not cared for but this house was immaculate. Hard to control neighbors. Lake was small but useable with water craft. Overall we had a pleasant experience. The town’s surrounding area was beautiful and loved the Amish experience and countryside. I would recommend this home just being aware of the lake and neighborhood issues.

Family vacation

Our family of five had the most wonderful time on our summer lake vacation! The house is beautiful, clean, and was perfect for us! The kitchen is large and so nice, and there’s two tables to eat, hang out, and play games. We loved going out on the canoes, and it was great that there are two so we could all be out at the same time!! We also had the best time going to various places in the area such as Winona Lake, Shipshewana, Syracuse and Wawassee, and the county fair- we couldn’t believe how much there was to do in the area. We honestly had a hard time narrowing down what we wanted to do. Tom and Carolyn were wonderful communicating with us, and we didn’t really have any questions once we arrived because they left great info about the house. The kids are already are asking when we can come back! It was a wonderful family trip!

Cozy and comfy

This is our second stay at this property. It was clean and comfortable - even though it was below freezing, the house stayed cozy. It’s not huge, or luxurious, but is great for our needs as a place to stay while we visit nearby family. We even cooked Thanksgiving dinner there, and the kitchen was well enough equipped we didn’t run into any issues.

Decent lake house in need of pest-control, parking, and labeling

The house is generally as described in terms of layout and features. Pros: We didn't use the canoes, but they appeared in good working order and they are lakeside although the lake is hedged in with emergents. Well stocked set of toys and boardgames entertained the kids as well as a surprisingly comprehensive set of various other items ranging from candles to tools. Pretty indoor spaces with lots of storage. Cons: ants in kitchen (in fairness they had traps out and a note about exterminator service so perhaps the ants won't be a problem in the future, but I'm going off the experience we had), no labelling on cabinets made navigating the kitchen really hard. We actually bought some items from local stores before discover ing they were already stocked. Also parking is not really clear, we had to park in the yard to not block out the neighbors drive which runs right up in front of the house.

Best Family Vacation

Our family decided to take a short trip not too far from home. We visited this area not knowing what we would do while we were there. LOVED the accommodations, enjoyed the peaceful stay, the amazing fishing, and the lovely restaurants and activities in the area. We will definitely be back in this area in the near future! The hosts were great to work with and so kind, caring, and helpful while we were there!

Lovely & Peaceful

This home is very clean, nicely furnished and decorated beautifully. We slept great on the comfortable bed. There was plenty of hot water and pressure for a nice shower. Because it's on a cul-de-sac you rarely hear a car and we only heard a dog bark once in the distance. Rarely did we glimpse a neighbor. The swing facing the lake was our favorite spot to enjoy the beautiful nature around us. There were sand cranes, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and even a ground hog passed by once. We enjoyed the fire pit, grilling, canoeing, & fishing. We rented a pontoon boat from Main ChannelT and spent a day on Lake Wawasee. It was great! There are several antique shops in the area and it's not far to Das Dutchman Essenhaus if you are craving superb pie. We enjoyed a very nice dinner at Down Under in Syracuse when we arrived. The hosts are a pleasure to communicate with. Highly recommened.

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Carolyn Noonan

We like to come up to our home in Syracuse, Indiana to stay as often as we can. We enjoy being here at different times of the year to experience the changing scenery and wildlife. It's relaxing and fun. Love the nearby Maxwelton golf course and we both love the shopping in Syracuse, Amish furniture and stores in Shipshawanna, nice restaurants all over the area. This is a hidden gem of an area.

Why they chose this property

It's a nice get-a-way from the hustle and bustle. You can relax in peace and quiet with a beautiful view and you still have access to larger all-sports lakes. You have lots of room. The property is big and is very private. We provide WI-FI, so you can hook up your computer to the TV with our HDMI cord and can stream your favorite shows and movies.

We provide 'Air TV' for local viewing. We also have an outdoor charcoal grill. It's a very short drive to a variety of restaurants, golf courses, and shops in Syracuse, North Webster, and other nearby towns.

Parking space enough for two cars is available on the circle. Please park so that you do not obstruct the circle road that the neighbors use or the neighboring driveways. While we want you to enjoy and have fun, this is not a house for wild partying. 10:00 pm is quiet time.

What makes this property unique

Peace and Quiet on a cul-de-sac on the backend of a small, quiet neighborhood. A private wifi-enabled, well-equipped ranch. Relax on our back porch, sipping coffee or tea in the morning, looking out over the beautiful lake and surrounding countryside.
