Cute Cabin on Fish Lake near Walkerton, IN in LaPorte

Cozy, quiet house located just south of LaPorte and 30 minutes southwest of South Bend, Indiana (1 1/2 hours from Chicago). It sits on a small hill in front of Lower Fish Lake and has a large deck that overlooks this well stocked, quiet no-wake lake. Lower Fish Lake is 134 acres and Upper Fish Lake is 139 acres; depths are between 16ft and 24ft. Property is .5 acres and the back yard is completely fenced in. Plenty of beautiful nature surrounds the place!
This cabin has knotty pine paneling with new marble floors, a sleeping loft with 2 full and 1 twin sized mattress, 1 bedroom with a queen sized bed and a dresser. The bathroom has a clawfoot tub, deep enough to soak for hours! Kitchen has recently been renovated and has a small breakfast bar. The living room has a full sized sleeper sofa and a dry bar with 2 stools.
Cabin is ideal for 1 family with kids or 2 couples. Also great for fishing buddies or a girls weekend off. Bring the dog too!
Bring your boat and tie it to our private pier, right off the property or rent one of ours. We have a 15 foot Pontoon, great for small group outings, available for $200 extra. We also have a 14 ft aluminum row boat with oars that is available for $75 extra if you'd like to get some exercise and get closer to nature or fish in in a quiet corner. We have 6 life vests. Fish Lake is stocked with Large-mouth Bass, Bluegill, Northern Pike, and Walleye. Renters can borrow 2 sets of golf clubs and golf very nearby. Walk or bike to the country store to get anything you forgot.
