Great week at Lake Oliver🌞
Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable! Beautiful view of lake and the cottage had everything we needed. The deck was so nice for meals and relaxing. The home was very comfortable and well maintained with beautiful gardens. Kids were able to swim from pier….loved the games and puzzles and nice fire pit for S’mores! The lake is quiet and several sandy areas to anchor and swim. The cottage was perfect for us and hope to return.

Great place to completely relax, very clean, and very nicely detailed. Even had jackets in the closet for those of us that had forgotten when it gets a little cooler on the water. Beautiful view from the large windows and the new deck is beautiful! Thanks, The Harvey's

Lynn is very nice and very helpful in answering any questions you may have. The lake is really nice and overall pretty quite. We have really enjoyed both of our vacations here and will definitely be back again!!

This house is always clean and well maintained. It's in a great location, whether your preference is for day trips to Shipshewana or just hanging out on the deck. Lynn and Trenia are attentive and friendly, and the most gracious hosts. Five stars all the way!

Excellent experience, will be back!
Working with the property owner was great as we were having odd check-in times. The cottage was beautiful and clean, plenty of rooms for another family. The lake was so nice, thinking about renting again this summer to make better use of it. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

Terrific Hosts!
We returned to Lolo's Lakeside Retreat for the second time this summer. Lynn and Trina were again, the quintessential hosts! The house and beautifully landscaped yard were in pristine order when we arrived. The weather was terrific for outdoor dining every meal every day! We even caught a few bass! We look forward to our next stay at Lolo's--thanks again, Lynn and Trina!

This is a great location if you're seeking to shop or visit the nearby Amish communities. Love having the lake to look out on in the evening, and especially enjoy the large deck, which makes entertaining and visiting so much fun.

Oliver Lake Life is so relaxing
Large older spacious home ready for family and friends to enjoy the lake. Very peaceful area and wonderful hosts that live behind the house in a newer home. Our son rented a pontoon boat and it was fun for all. Water is shallow for quite a ways out so it is good for children. We are returning next year which will be our 5th year. Great casual living on Oliver Lake.

Relaxing Get-A-Way
Our stay was for two nights with 6 adults. We enjoyed time on the deck and the spacious living room. We mostly used the home for sleeping as we were out and about during the day in Shipshewana. Having the one shower was not an issue for us as we all got up at different times, just takes some planning. We found Coody Brown's Lakeside Grill the first evening for dinner. There is a Dollar General not far to stock up on snacks.

Great property with great hosts!
Everything was as we expected and then some from the VRBO listing from amenities to supplies on hand. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bedding and towels are of great quality. The thoughtful hosts were available for questions and helpful information. We will definitely be back to spend time at 'our lake'! Thanks so much!

Annual Weekend with long time friends
We loved our weekend at the property. The 9 of us had plenty of room at the tables in the dining area to eat together and play games. There was ample very comfortable seating in the living room for all of us as well. The beds were very comfortable, and I had the best night's sleep in a long time. There was plenty of hot water for all of us while getting ready each morning. The hostess has thought of so much to make our stay more comfortable and safe. She even listed instructions for where to shelter in case of bad weather and provided flashlights and a radio. The forecast was such that we did place those by the door we would use to get to the cellar--just in case. It was too windy and chilly to sit on the deck, but we would have loved to do that as well. Thanks for a very nice place for our weekend.
