About this property

Lake House | Kayaks | Patio/Deck | Private Pier

Escape to The Waldron Lake Retreat - Your Home Away from Home! Experience the perfect place for you and your loved ones to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in this 4 bed/2 bath ranch, kayak (two provided) on the beautiful Waldon Lake! Bring your own boat to enjoy our lake! Unwind in tranquility as you soak in the peaceful setting. Yet conveniently located near Rome City at only 6 minutes from downtown, this retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation and accessibility.

Available via phone, text, or email - I will be available however is most convenient for you. If someone is needed on-premise, I have a manager within 30 minutes of the property.

If you want to get out and explore, it's 10 minutes away from the Rome City! 20 Minutes from Kendallville! 30 Minutes from the famous Shipshewana, Indiana. Blue Gate restaurant and the Shipshewana Flea Market; Shipshewana has shops, restaurants, the well-known Blue Gate Theatre. 45 minutes from Nappanee that has additional Amish culture with shopping, theatre, and dining. All this and more as you relax and enjoy this wonderful area full of culture and hospitality. This property is designed to offer a relaxing stay, regardless of whether you are on vacation, traveling for business, or attending an event at the Michiana Event Center or any other event center in town.

Notre Dame University is only 1.25 hrs away from our house as well. So if you're in town for a game, it's really pretty convenient to get to Notre Dame and avoid the traffic rush.

In the middle of lake country, but yet near all the local attractions with access to the main road. Rome City, Kendallville, Wolcottville, Topeka, Shipshewana, Nappanee.

Enjoy a slower pace, aka "Lake Life" at our Waldron Lake Retreat, our house is directly on the lake (FYI - no wake lake except between 10am - 5pm). Not only will you have our renovated home with great amenities, but also you'll be able to jump into our lake off our private pier or with our provided kayaks (please use the provided adult life jackets). Waldron Lake is also great fishing (bring your own fishing supplies). It's also connected to three other lakes (no wake lakes), but enjoy cruising on different lakes without getting out of your kayak or boat (bring your own boat and dock it to our pier. There are miles of river and lakes that you can explore by entering right off our dock. Enjoy peaceful days fishing, kayaking, boating, swimming, etc.

Perfect Get-away
Excellent and prompt communication. Comfortable beds. Great views. Water pressure was perfect. My favorite place to sit was in the living room where there are 2 chairs looking out onto the lake. Used to live on this chain. So, if you rent a boat you’ll enjoy going into Steinbarger and Tamarack. And, then in the opposite direction it will take you down the Elkhart river for a scenic ride.

Our family had an amazing time at this lake house! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at! The house manager Todd was amazing and worked with us all the way through!
