Awesome trip
Perfect location on the lake. Quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. It was a toasty week but there is plenty of shade and water. Between the covered porch and some well located, large trees, we had shade most of the day on one of the several areas available to relax. Got a chance to hike the nature preserve a bit and enjoy several restaurants in town. We would definitely stay here again.

Papakeechie Lake House
Everything was wonderful and we really enjoyed the kayaks/paddleboat. Very functional for a 3 week stay. Only suggestion is an exhaust fan in bathroom would have been helpful when we had to all shower. (Little window opens and it helped)

Peaceful & Relaxing
The lakeside cottage was perfect for our weekend getaway. We were able to fish, read our books, and relax in this serene setting. Easy drive to restaurants, grocery and activities.

Fun, Peaceful Getaway
Neighborhood is not welcoming to short-term rentals. The signs in front of all the houses proved this. We had a fantastic time in spite of that. Very well equipped kitchen and great lake toys. Very clean and perfect for our small family gathering.

Tranquility on the lake
It was a very calm and quiet location.
Great accomodtions and helpful host.
And... the paddle boat was a real hit with mu grandson.
Also, met the neighbor who was very kind and friendly.
Finally, I have to add that it was a wonderful sound of silence with no power boats of any kind being allowed on this lake.

The perfect fall getaway
From the point of booking to the time of departure, this trip was just perfect. The house was the cleanest we've ever rented for a vacation, and we were appreciative of all the small details and conveniences the host added, like having a few toiletries for the restroom and spices & condiments in the kitchen, to name a few. We were pleasantly surprised to have a washer and dryer, and all furniture and appliances seemed brand new! Beds and couches were super comfy too. The lake was pure bliss and we thoroughly enjoyed kayaking, paddle boating and fishing. The host was extremely helpful and so quick at responding to any questions we had. I felt like she truly cared about us having a good time, which was refreshing! The area was so quiet and was the perfect setting for a tranquil vacation. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful spot to get away!

Relaxing
We had a really relaxing time at this compact home on Papakeechie Lake. We did some exploring in Goshen and Nappanee, but mostly stuck around the home visiting. The home has everything we needed. The only unforeseen incident was that, while running the dishwasher and the microwave, we tripped a breaker. We found the breaker box and fixed it and didn't run the two at the same time, again.

Exactly how we wanted to spend our Labir Day weekend!
The location and house were perfect for relaxing. We floated in the water, we went fishing a lot, we had our kids over for a cookout and they all enjoyed the water too. The house was just right!! It was so quiet and peaceful! We felt like we were getting a glimpse at our future dream!
