Idyllic Lake Cottage on Papakeechie Lake

Lovely 2-bedroom 1-bathroom cottage on beautiful Papakeechie Lake. Master bedroom has a queen size bed with a view of the water and the second bedroom has 2 bunk beds. A lovely kitchen, living room and dining room, with plenty of views of Papakeechie Lake. There is a fire pit and a nice patio area with a great dock and beach just steps from the cottage door. Papakeechie Lake is a tranquil non-motorboat lake where kayaks, paddle boats, paddle boards and sail boats are the way of life. The fishing also is great. With plenty of crappie, largemouth bass and blue gills to be caught. You can enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake or if you would like to bring a motorboat and launch it at Lake Wawasee, this cottage is just minutes from the public boat launch. The cottage is just across the road from Tri-County Fish & Wildlife Area, where there are more ponds for fishing and hunting happening. It can also be a great place to sightsee and bird watch. With so much to do or not to do you can't go wrong with staying at what we like to call the Harvest Moon.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

We came on a wintry weekend in March. Looking forward to coming back in warmer weather! It was so nice to have the cozy fireplace and wake up to enjoy the sunrise over the lake.

Wonderful Lake Cottage

The Harvest Moon Cottage was wonderful! Lake Papakeechie is absolutely beautiful. It was so peaceful and quiet. We felt like we had the entire lake to ourselves. My 3 teenage children and I enjoyed going on the lake with the kayaks and paddleboard. My 80-year-old parents loved the fishing and 7-person paddleboard. The cottage was wonderful and well furnished. The host, Candace, was easy to communicate with. It was a great family vacation. In fact, we enjoyed it so much my parents are considering buying another cottage on the lake so that we can go back year round.

Wonderful stay on the lake

The cottage was exactly as advertised. The lake access was perfect and there were more water crafts than advertised for guests to use. We enjoyed the paddle board with our dogs! We'll be back for sure!

Peaceful Setting at the Harvest Moon

Had a great time with the family and Dog at the Harvest Moon cottage. Lake is quiet and peaceful. Great for kayaking and paddle boarding. Caught a lot of bluegill, a few bass, and a large dogfish off the pier. If you are looking for a quiet getaway this is a great place. Very cozy and clean. Lake Wawasee is close by if you have a boat you want to take out for the day.

cozy cottage

We were four persons. Three 30 yo women stayed in the bunkbed room and I stayed in the master bedroom. We were attending the Midwest Banjo camp at MAnchester University about 40 min drive. We used the grill and the paddleboards quite a bit. The golden retriever had the best time of all! It was very quiet and nice and clean.I would stay there again for sure.

Peace on the Lake

Harvest Moon is the perfect cottage for an unplugged weekend with your spouse. It is small, and on a non-motor lake- so if you’re looking for luxury on a party lake- this isn’t it. We enjoyed having coffee and watching fish jump and turtles swim by- it’s so quiet you can hear all types of birds, too. And there’s plenty to do in the area- great restaurants and breweries. If you’re up for fishing off the pier, kayaking and time spent around a campfire, you’ll love Harvest Moon.

A wonderful weekend getaway

The property was the perfect place to get away for a weekend of relaxation. We can't thank our host enough for allowing us to bring our 13 year old lab who loves water and swimming along. We enjoyed our trip with him and will have those memories forever.

Get away!

The house was very clean. It had everything needed to cook meals. Cute decor. If you have back or knee troubles the walk from the parking area and the steps down to the patio by the lake are hard to do. But not their fault. We did catch some fish. Wish we could have put our boat in the water. All and all we had a nice relaxing weekend.

Total Relaxation

We had an amazing time at this VRBO! The location was quiet, peaceful, relaxing, comfortable, beautiful... everything you'd hope for in a relaxed lakefront getaway! We really loved that we were able to bring our entire family (aka: the dog). He had the BEST time playing in the lake. (The water was a little bit murky around the edges for humans... but I'm sure once you get into the middle of the lake, you'd be totally fine!) The owner was super responsive when we asked about an outdoor area to rinse off the dog and was kind enough to leave a hose for us to use after our pooch's adventures! We also loved that the home was air conditioned! It was an awesome reprieve to come in, take a break and cool down! We'd totally recommend this property to others! We had the best time!
