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.

Great location, wonderful property owner, quiet, relaxing, awesome lake, and someplace we will visit again.
A close place for us to get away from it all and enjoy some peace and quiet with family.

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!

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.

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.

It was very cozy and very enjoyable. A great get away with peaceful setting. We found fun things to do close as well as just enjoying the lake, watching the swans and geese. The host was fantastic. Only down fall is dark in area where you park car. Thanks so much for a wonderful mini vacation!!

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.

My two friends and I took a short getaway enjoying the quiet of the lake! The home is beautiful inside and the outside space is even better! We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and absolutely the best kitchenware of any rental home I have stayed at. The only issue we had was the trip was too short!

What a find! We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this little slice of heaven on Papkeechie Lake. It had everything we needed for a peaceful get-away to the lake. Loved the lakeside decor inside and the gorgeous landscaping outdoors. Perfect time of the year to visit, also! We'll stay here again next time we pass thru. Thank you, Candace!

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.

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.

Charming lake cottage, the property is beautiful and very well maintained. Inside is lovely and obvious that it is well taken care of. Attention to every detail and amenities. Definitely giving top reviews. It was perfect for myself, my daughter, son in law and granddaughter! Kayaking and fishing were a hit during the day and time around the firepit in the evenings were priceless! We hope to return annually!

Very nice! Terrain was a little steep for the older generation and I am finding out that I am in that category! Ha
