Great place that has so much personality! Lake was perfect, only steps away. Access to the boat and kayaks/paddleboards was the best!

When you first arrive, you are greeted with an amazing gift from your hosts! Such a special touch. The house is well equipped with everything you will need. The pontoon boat is a great bonus that we were not able to utilize due to windy conditions, but we fished from the dock and enjoyed catching some largemouth bass. If you need anything Jim and DeDe are available and very quick to respond to any questions. Thank you so much for making our vacation memorable! See you again soon.

Never had a more perfect vacation. Again. Lovely home. Beautiful lake.

This is the perfect cottage. The hosts have thought of everything. Very clean, nicely decorated and all the little touches made it feel like home. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed spending time with family. Great memories were made. Would highly recommend and will be back.

Our third vacation at Sunset Beach, and we hope to be back next year.

First of all Jim was nothing less than a top tier host, the cottage was terrific, the amenities were amazing, any and everything you needed. The paddle boards, the kayaks , but the pontoon boat was the star nothing better than melting the streets away with a cruise. Plus Jim had the tanks full of fuel. I will say if Jim is renting this cottage next year we will probably do 10 days to 2 weeks. Thanks Jim for sharing your amazing cottage,and lake with us . Surely is a piece of heaven

This lake house is truly about 60 feet from the lake. The pontoon boat is great and the atmosphere in the house itself is artistic, and cozy with the best of everything provided. There's lots of sun every day. We're hoping to come back next August again. So impressed.

Excellent place to stay and terrific location right on the water.

Our family (adult daughters with spouses + one grandchild) is crazy about this property and squeezed in one more year here before out-growing it. The house is charming, the lake is beautiful and clean, the porch is inviting, and even on rainy days you don't mind being inside playing games, chatting with family or curling up on comfy couch watching tv. This along with all of the amazing amenities and the thoughtful, communicative owner have moved us to look forward to coming back for our fourth time next year.

Sunset Beach is a beautiful and well stocked lake home. You will have everything you need. I did bring my Kuerig because I was unsure if the cottage had one and there is one! So bring your favorite K-cups! My family enjoyed the quiet lake, fishing was awesome and the boat rides at night were enjoyable.

When we knew we were going to be doing a triathlon in the area, we looked for a place we could bring our dogs with us. We wanted to take them on a trip with us versus boarding them. The cottage we found had everything we were looking for. Jim was very prompt with all communications and expectations. I only wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the lake with the pontoon boat and take full advantage of the sunsets off the back porch. We would certainly without a doubt rent with Jim again if we come back for the race again and it is available.

My family and I spent a week at the Sunset Beach cottage in June for our summer vacation, and we had a wonderful time. The cottage is lovely. It had everything we needed and the hosts left several special touches that made us feel very welcome. We hosted a family bbq and enjoyed hours of swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. The boat was also a nice addition to our stay. Our family had a wonderful time, and several of our friends and relatives commented on how nice the cottage was for location and amenities. We would definitely come back to stay at this beautiful cottage. The location was perfect for what we wanted. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice lakeside vacation.

Stayed at the cottage last year. Liked it so much we had to come back. Very quiet and cozy.

My wife and I (and our pups) totally enjoyed our stay at Jim's cottage. This is our 3rd stay, and it works perfectly for us. We worked from home with a great internet connection, and had an 'office view' of the lake. . My wife enjoyed the kayaking. Next time I might try paddle boarding. We also enjoyed a few of the local restaurants ... some really good choices. And, Jim is very good about responding to any questions. We'll defintiely be back.

This was my family’s second vacation at Jim’s cottage, and despite a couple days of rain, we had a great time. Having a pontoon to use is great and the kayaks and paddle boards were a big plus. My Grandchildren really enjoyed the kayaks and are already asking to go back, which we are hoping to do next summer. Thank you Jim for being a great host.

Cottage was warm and welcoming on arrival. Nice beach. Pontoon a big plus. Comfortable beds. Spent most of our time on the large deck. Plenty of chairs. Kayaks were almost new and fun. Would rent again and will recommend to friends. Thanks Jim.

We really enjoyed the boat. That was the biggest seller. The cottage was a little bit to small for my comfort. To have two adults and four kids would be fine but not comfortable for five adults and one child. Not enough privacy.

Our family returned to this property because we had a phenomenal experience last year and we were not disappointed. There is nothing not to like about this place. We enjoyed the lake, the toys and the comfy house. Many of the things one needs to feel at home are provided, and the lake is fantastic. The area is quiet and it is a hop, skip and a jump from stores and such . We enjoyed a trip to Mishawaka's Central Park which had a splash pad, and a nice mini golf place is not far away--the adult kids enjoyed that. We are so grateful for our (2nd) time there and for the heartwarming memories we took home with us.

Exactly and even better than advertised! Grandkids loved the bunk beds. The lake, kayak’s paddle boards and of course the pontoon made for a memorable stay. ,

Very clean, cozy and comfortable. Love the dispensers in the shower. I enjoyed the enclosed porch to have your coffee or even on the deck I get up early while the rest the family sleeps in. The sand area perfect for my 3yr old grandson. The Air tube, kayak, paddle boards are fun for everyone as well as the Pontoon. Fishing was good too. We had a very enjoyable week. Thank you for sharing your lake home.

The house was neat as a pin and exceptionally comfortable. My husband and I spent many hours on the pontoon quietly fishing. Will be back.

My wife and I decided a change of scenery would be nice while working from home. This lake cottage was a fantastic get away. We worked with a huge picture window view of the lake, sunsets, swans, ducks, etc. We also took the pontoon out and checked out all the houses around the lake, and my wife enjoyed kayaking. Also, the homeowner quickly answered our couple of questions. Totally enjoyed the trip and the house.

We came from North Dakota for a Notre Dame football game and this little cottage was absolutely perfect and a price that can't be beat. Warm, cozy, comfortable and a short drive after a late game. We will stay again! Go Irish!!

Jim is incredible. He went way beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. Our communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The cottage is very tidy and lovely, equipped with everything you need. for real, everything! There were brand new shower puffs with tags on in the bathroom. I stayed here for about a week with my puppy. I was working remotely during the weekdays, the internet was great, 100+ Mbps. More than enough for my meetings and watching Netflix in the evenings :) The property is right on the lake and you have direct access to the deck and kayaks and the pontoon. Jim came over and demonstrated how to use the pontoon on a Saturday morning when my boyfriend was staying with us for the weekend. We had a great time taking the pontoon out and kayaking and watching the stunning sunset. It was a great trip to relax, unwind while being able to work during the day. I'll definitely come back again!

My husband and I had an excellent stay at this beautiful cottage. It had everything we needed, and you couldn't ask for a better host than Jim. We arrived to relaxing music, lamp-lit rooms, and a welcome gift of wine, chocolates, and a case of water. Jim was also super quick to respond to any questions we had. We had a memorable stay with warm, leisurely afternoons on the lake and amazing sunset views in the evening. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at this comfortable cottage again.

This is our third stay!Jim is a great host but we need nothing while there. Sunset Beach is clean and comfortable and provides beautiful sunsets and lake fun for young and old. We are grateful for our time there.

This was our 2nd time around and there was no regrets. Accommodations are as described and pictured. Everything you need for time at the lake . Glad we returned to make more memories. Great spot for all ages. Thanks Jim for sharing.

Once again a great stay at this cottage. Everything you need is here. Jim goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

There would not be enough space to explain how enjoyable this place is for a small group or family. This was our 5th annual summer vacation with our adult children and we were not disappointed. All the water toys and pontoon boat were enjoyed enormously, and our infant granddaughter went “tubing” (we pushed her around on the tube near the shore) and took to lake life quite well. Happy memories were taken home by all. This is a comfortable, well-equipped home. We hope to go back.

This cottage is so cute! My family of 4 stayed for a week and this place was perfect! The kitchen has everything you might need. The deck has been rebuilt amd was perfect for lounging amd dining. The owner, Jim, was very kind and answered all of our questions. The Lake is lovely and the sunsets are amazing! We will definitely be back!

Amazing stay at this adorable lakeside cottage. Great hosts that thought of every need we could possibly have! Great location and community. Can't say enough about this fantastic cottage!

Had an amazing time. Beautiful view wonderful amenities. Perfect communication. Our stay was very enjoyable would love to go back.
