Memorable Vacation Awaits on Big Chapman Lake! Sleeps 8! Optional Pontoon!

Discover the beauty of the Warsaw area from this charming 1300+ square foot, 3-bedroom cottage with an all window front providing a beautiful and unobstructed view of Big Chapman Lake, Day and Night.

Nestled in a peaceful setting, this gorgeous retreat offers 2 queen beds, 1 bunk bed, 1 child bed, and 1 roll-out twin bed for a tranquil night's sleep. With amenities including AC, gas furnace & fireplace, tv's in every room, WIFI, washer & dryer, firepit, propane grill, large deck, kids fishing rods, a few blow-up kayaks, large garage with 55 inch tv, ping pong table, foosball , air hockey, game table, and couch (especially nice for rainy lake days), flat lot to the water with swimming area, and plenty of paved parking, guests can relax and unwind in this cozy space. We have many, many great restaurants nearby and will share some of our favorites in our guest book we are building. You're sure to make fantastic memories with a stay at our place.

Separate from the cottage, typically beginning in May through mid-October, we have available under a separate lease agreement a nice tritoon for your enjoyment. The tritoon, a 24 foot Sylvan with a 115 hp Yamaha outboard engine, can easily board up to 10 people. It's a very nice boat for cruising the lake, heading to the sandbars, and for fishing. For those of you experienced and comfortable with safely driving and navigating a large pontoon, please let us know and we will provide the pontoon rental cost, lease agreement and further details. Note the tritoon can be rented for a single day, a few days, or all of your stay, but we ask that it be leased for consecutive days only. Important note: if you desire to bring your own boat, please send an inquiry to us before booking as we have very limited space to dock a second boat. As a final note, our dock it typically removed on or after November 1 each year, and reinstalled the 3rd week of April, however these dates could be subject to change depending on our vendor's schedule, weather conditions etc., so please check with us via inquiry before booking. Thank you!!

A final note ... our neighbors are primarily year round residents and are our friends. Have a WONDERFUL time but please remember to respect our neighbors. Please DO NOT leave children unattended while swimming or near the water. LIfe preservers are available upon request.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Outstanding property! Can wait to return! Great view, clean and comfortable. We grilled out on Saturday night, the house is well equipped for cooking. The communication with the owner was excellent and Kim, the property manager stopped by to see us on Friday when we arrived. We will absolutely come back, hopefully yet this summer. We enjoyed Winona Lake as well. Everything you need is within 5 miles in any direction.

We had a nice relaxing fall weekend hanging out by the fire pit. Location was great, not too far from restaurants and activities, but far enough for it to be a get away. House was a perfect size for us, beautiful views and good amenities.

This is a fantastic lake rental. It’s has a beautiful setting in a quiet area. We loved the open family room with great windows (sliding glass doors) and the deck. So calm and peaceful. Tom was great to work with and even made a special accommodation for us. We hope to come back more in the future.

The property was beautiful and just what we were wanting! Very quiet area and relaxing environment. The half bath was tough for any adult to use because it was so small. We struggled with the mattresses comfort because they lacked support but that may have just been us. The location was perfect for our kids to fish and kayak. The games in the garage were a hit with our kids. The pontoon was a really nice boat. Having the pontoon for a day was a wonderful add on!

It was such a beautiful and picturesque place for my husband and I both to work from "home" for a week. In the afternoons and evenings, we especially liked the air hockey, ping pong, fishing, foosball and water floats. We also rented the (very nice!) pontoon and went out on the lake for a day. The house was very clean and spacious, and the decorations made you feel like you were at "home" and not at a vacation rental. The onsite property manager, Kim, was fun and really helpful. We loved every bit of our stay. Thank you for your hospitality! #boilerup

Unwind

We had the best stay in the lake house on Big Chapman Lake! Spacious but still small enough for close family time. The house was very clean and well kept. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of blankets/pillows to go around. The sectional in the great room was perfect for family movie nights. We loved turning the A/C off to open the sliding glass doors allowing the cool Indiana air to come in. Most of the time we were there it was rainy, but the games in the garage kept us entertained. Playing Shut the Box became a family competition and helped pass sometime awaiting the rain. The location is nestled perfectly in a quiet neighborhood with good neighbors - not too far away from the big city. We took the opportunity while we had it and went to Chicago and Michigan City both within reasonable driving distance. Warsaw had everything that we needed for our planned vacation - TJ Maxx, Rural King, and Menards! We did become rather familiar with the preferred route the owners provided as the GPS route was more direct but very curvy. The only caveat is the sliding door next to the stove is a little difficult to maneuver.
