Approximately an hour from Chicago. Hudson Lake only 75 miles SE of Chicago. This recently rebuilt Luxury Cottage is anything but ordinary. Comfortable style with a fully equipped kitchen. 500 sq. ft. of decks, an 50 foot pier, and a swim raft.

Great vacation
This is a very nice house. Very clean and roomy for family quiet time when not by the lake. Great kitchen with everything you need. The lake itself is beautiful and quiet on a bay at the end. We spent hours on the jetski and would highly recommend renting it. The owner was fantastic responding immediatley to any questions or small issues.

Annual family trip
Every year we get away as a family and visit somewhere new. This year we stayed in New Carlisle! We had a group of 7 and this home was perfect for all of us! Plenty of places to sleep. Home was clean and had everything we needed to cook and feel like home! The barhrooms were beautiful! There was also plenty to do at the home....kayaks, paddle boats, fire pit etc. Even met a few neighbors and they were very nice! The town was cute and the view was amazing! Close enough to wineries and other local things to do! We loved it and had the best time! Already talking about going back there again!

Memorable Milestone Birthday
Traveling to get to your destination can be stressful that first day. I found the oversized soak tub an absolute dream to dissipate the tension. The next day, the spa-like shower provided a pampering area for exfoliation as well as a relaxing rain shower to cleanse the mind. The vanity was well lit for facial preparation and the decor and ambience a treat. The rest of our stay was just as enjoyable. The kitchen was a joy to cook in. There were plenty of pots, pans and utensils, all of good quality. The sleeping arrangements accommodated all 9 of us without feeling cramped. The boathouse was a bonus, providing a space for those who wanted late night activity. The pontoon was something that helped make family memories as we enjoyed all that goes with being on the lake. The sunsets were beautiful. And the Bay Area we were located on had countless hours of fun for the kids as they played on the amenities offered. They fished, used the paddle board and paddle boat, and the blue float mat was a huge hit! We will definitely be going back.

Attentive host with stocked property
My family loves the Hudson Lake/New Carlisle area and Shari and her son Ryan made sure we had everything we needed, offered helpful suggestions for activities in the area and had a really stocked home complete with chickens. We loved using the paddle boat, the "lily pad", sitting on the very long, sandy beach and playing games on the rainy day. The plus was bringing our pup who had a great time, too. We are already planning next year's trip!

This was such a lovely getaway! We loved the house, the lake, and the pontoon. It was nice to wake up each day and just head down to the lake. The chickens were an added bonus that we loved having as part of our trip. Shari & Ryan were both great to work with, and easy to get in touch with. There are a few restaurants close by, New Buffalo about a 25 min drive & Michigan City about a 30 min drive. We enjoyed our time & will definitely be back!

Great outdoor space
The outdoor space was exactly what we were looking for. Kids absolutely loved the water pad. Kayaks and pontoon boat were great. The beach house was great for relaxing while watching the kids play. It gets full sun in the afternoon and the umbrella was not functional, so that would have been nice. The inside was ok. Kitchen was a little small to prepare meals. Everyone seemed to enjoy their rooms. It was explained to me to try to have people use the upstairs toilet, but in a group of 10 with 5 kids it's hard to get everyone on the same page. I'm guessing that's why the main level toilet clogged several times. Major bonus...this place has chickens. Not sure why it wasn't mentioned in the listing, but the kids loved watching them and everyone loved the fresh eggs. The property owner's son was very attentive. This could be hit or miss for some people. He was there when we arrived to show us around and was around for most of the first couple days working around the property. One night we were having a fire after dark and he showed up to drop off some gas cans for the boat. Honestly, we were caught a little off guard. Very nice guy and very helpful, but my personal preference would be to have the house to ourselves. Overall, everyone had a great time

Had a great time at the house with family (7 adults, 2 kids). House is well stocked and furnished. Good communication with the owner. Lake is a nice size and near many things in the Michiana area. Outdoor areas had a fire pit, grill and lake side room with deck. Would stay again.

My family and I recently stayed here for 5 days. The home itself was great with plenty of room for everyone. My two young kids enjoyed the chicken coop in front. The beach was great and there was plenty to do outside. Shari was very responsive and communicated with me throughout the stay if I needed anything. I definitely recommend staying here!

It was exactly what we wanted for a family vacation.
We had 6 adults and 5 children under 10. The beach with shallow and wading area is what we wanted for the kids. The lake water was clean and clear, and it had minimal boat traffic that made boating water sports low stress. A couple of the adults in our group like to fish and the lake delivered. They caught some nice fish from bass to pike and perch. Definitely satisfied they're need for good fishing. The young ones in our group enjoyed the chickens experience. The property is safe and secluded, and is on our list for a return visit.

Very cozy Tuscan decorated beach house. The owner was great about keeping in touch throughout the stay. Her son was working on the property next door and brought us fresh eggs from the chickens at the rental and doughnuts one morning. Our 3 yr old grandson was a huge fan of the beach. The lake was large enough for skiing but not crowded. Everyone (family of seven) had a relaxing long 4 day weekend.

Annual Family Lake House Boating Trip
The house was roomy with plenty of different sleeping areas which accommodated my sister and my families for our annual Lake House Boating trip. The beach area and lake are perfect for a family fun with the paddle board, water mat, etc provided. There was a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of bath towels. This was not the typical rental…. At times it felt like a bed and breakfast because the hosts went above and beyond - he popped by with donuts one morning and fresh eggs from their chickens. We had a great stay and we would be curious if next time the owner would provide screens for the windows and doors so we could open up and enjoy the lake breeze.

A Wonderful Time with Generous Hosts
Our group ranged in age from 14 mos to 69 years. We all had a wonderful time. Shari and her son Ryan are generous hosts and dedicated to making sure you have a good time. The house is nicely stocked with extra paper products and the kitchen has everything you need. The house is clean and the beds are comfortable. There is a nice TV area that was perfect for a group. Netflix was included, which was wonderful for the grands. The 30 year old's used the kayak and paddle boat. The children ( 7 & 5) enjoyed the beach area and the water. The "lily pad" was a huge hit. Ryan let them help feed the chickens; and even collect eggs! A campfire and catching lightning bugs were fun, and renting the pontoon boat added to the experience. This is an excellent property for a family. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful house
We spent a few nights at this gorgeous home on Lake Hudson. Shari and her son were attentive and everything inside the house was very clean and well stocked. They were also very accommodating about my father’s boat. Shari’s son worked a lot during our stay on their neighboring property. You can tell they are kind folks and want the very best god their guests. A few things of note, we did not swim as planned, there is a steep drop off pretty close to shore which made us uncomfortable about our 8 year old. The topography is also fairly steep too, not ideal for my small dog who cannot do stairs.

Great trip to New Carlisle IN
Owners were very attentive and accommodating. They provided us farm fresh eggs from the chickens located near the house, and kept in touch in case we needed anything. House has charming country decor, and provided plenty of space for our family of 9. The availability of water sports equipment and the private dock provided ample activities right at the house. We brought our boat and had room to dock it and for fishing as well. Kitchen is well stocked with everything needed, including a cabinet of spices; no need to bring anything. Beds were comfortable and farmhouse table provided enough space for all of us to eat and play games together. Overall pleasant family vacation!

Great Experience
What a great escape! The family met up in Indiana, 4 couples with 2 kids under the age of 5. The house was nice although the room situation is a bit misleading. Two of the rooms are not technically rooms rather spaces with beds, aka no doors. This was less than ideal with small children. The other two rooms are VERY small. Luckily, the outdoor space made up for this. We spent all of our time at the little beach; kayaking, paddle boarding, playing on the lily pad and swimming. We even took the boat out for a sunset cruise. The little house down by the beach is also a huge win. Perfect for late night board games and afternoon grilling. Tons of kitchen equipment which made cooking for a large group very easy. Shari was an excellent host and very communicative. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Great lakehouse
We had a wonderful time at this property. The place was spacious enough for 10 of us. The lake is peaceful and not too crowded. We had fun swimming and kayaking. Due to COVID, we didn't venture out much, but we did go blueberry picking and out for ice cream. The chickens were a huge hit with the kids, and they enjoyed feeding them and collecting fresh eggs every morning. The owners were attentive to any needs. We would definitely stay here again.

Lake Retreat
Our family, which consisted of 2 sets of grandparents, two children (4 and 10 months) and 2 couples stayed at this lake house. We enjoyed all the "toys" that were available to us during our stay, from the fire pit, swing and sand toys to the SUP, kayak's, lily pad floats and the rental of the jet ski and pontoon! The extra house near the lake was a great place to play card games and grill (with a mini fridge and freezer as well!) They even have chicken's: fresh eggs and fun for kids to feed! We had a great time - one small note: there is quite a steep hill and stairs, so for older guests a point to note - other than that it was exactly what we expected! Shari is the most responsive host I've stayed with yet, thanks for that!! I would recommend for a low-key family getaway!

Wonderful property
Five adults and four kids stayed at this wonderful property. The house was clean, well kept, and was roomy for everyone. A huge bonus is the beach house that has a refrigerator, table to eat at, grill, deck, and is air conditioned! The lake is clean and warm with a paddle boat, paddle board, and one and two man kayaks. The owners are awesome and couldn’t be more accommodating. They let the kids feed and hold the chickens and two kittens plus we rented their pontoon boat and jet ski. We had a great time and will definitely go back!
