It's been our dream to live on one of the Twin Lakes for many years. Our family of six now lives on South Twin Lake and we absolutely LOVE IT!!! The Twin Lakes in Howe Indiana are some of the cleanest lakes in the entire state! Each lake has an inlet, outlet, and they are both spring-fed. We know that you will love it too!

Keep in mind, this is a nonsport private lake. This is a perfect spot for your family to swim, fish, kayak, and just relax. There are no speed boats or jet-skis on this lake.

Our home on North Twin Lake has 4 bedrooms and sleeps up to 11 people!!! There's a LARGE kid's bunk room that sleeps 5!!! There's a floor to ceiling glass patio room that faces the water that you can enjoy year-round. There's plenty of parking with a two-car garage and a parking pad out front. The lake is only a few steps from the back door!!! You can even see the adjoining South Twin Lake from numerous rooms in the house.

We have kayaks and paddleboards that are available for a small weekly fee!
Contact us for additional info!

We are only an hour from Kalamazoo Michigan, South Bend Indiana, and Fort Wayne Indiana, and only 15 minutes away from Shipshewana Indiana. You'll get to know some of our Amish neighbors when you visit Shipshewana. Shipshewana has a flea market and authentic homestyle Amish cooking, and even carriage rides available.

The 80-90 Tollroad is about 10 minutes from the house. Shopping is conveniently located 15 minutes north in Sturgis Michigan where you'll find a Walmart, Meijer, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar General, Kroger, and many restaurants.

We now have High Speed Internet! Enjoy the free wifi!

Our home is smoke-free and pet-free and we vigorously disinfect the entire home after every visit. We wash ALL linens and bedding, including comforters, after EVERY guest. Every surface is disinfected with Clorox wipes. We also provide hand sanitizer for your use.

    The communication was excellent, the only disappointment was how dirty the windows were on the front three season room, so dirty and full of cob webs it was hard to enjoy the view.

    It was a nice place for the short vacay we wanted to take. Hanging out by the lake with the fire pit was our favorite part.

    Host was easily accessible and immediately attended to our one need. Home very comfortable for our family getaway. Kitchen could be a bit better stocked for those who like to cook. Kayaking was pleasant. Location worked well for visiting family in Sturgis as well as childhood home in Topeka and locations throughout LaGrange County and southern Michigan.

    The cottage was great- very clean. We had one issue and the owner took care of it that day. The owner was extremely responsive and gracious.

    We greatly enjoyed our stay at the lake house! Beautiful view! The house was very clean with plenty of room. Loved the screened in porch! And really enjoyed being around the fire in the evenings too!

    This was our third year at this lake cabin. It has been a wonderful experience for our family including grandparents and their children and grandchildren.

    Super clean and great communication with owner grandkids loved the lake super clean and plenty of fish. Rental of the pontoon boat was a huge hit and very nice of the owners to offer. We give it a five star rating.

    The inside of the house was spotless and appreciated. The screened in porch was covered in spider webs; to the extent I’m not sure it had been cleaned since spring. I inquired about the grill and owner replied it was a propane grill. The tank was filled but sitting about 7-8 feet from the grill and not connected. I’m unable to lift anything that heavy and not comfortable connecting it. So no grilling for us. I lifted the grill hood to inspect and I sincerely doubt it has ever been cleaned. The house is pleasant and laid out nicely. Kids loved swimming, kayaking and paddle boards.

    Four couples in 50/60s. We had a great time even though the weather didn’t cooperate. There have been upgrades done since the photos in the listing. The only thing we needed and didn’t have was a pizza tray and cutter. But there was a bread knife that worked. I was surprised that in our group two couples were willing to take the room with the bunk beds, because of the view from the window!The swans were nice to sit out back and watch.They have nice sheets and towels. The beds were above average sleeping. You even see an Amish buggy go by every once in a while. Lisa was very nice to communicate with.

    Property interior was clean and nice. All as advertised. Communication with owner was easy and entry was simple. Outside was a little messy with spider webs and debris. And very little parking. But all in all it was a nice place.
