Located within the heart of Indiana's Amish Country, Sylvan Lake is just a short drive to Shipshewana or Nappanee where the Amish culture thrives and is embraced. Amish cooking, farm tours, and buggy rides can be found in both towns. Visit the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg or WW II museums in Auburn or see large exotic animals at the Black Pine Animal Park in nearby Albion. Limberlost Golf Course is five minutes away from the house. 15 minutes away in Kendallville are two beautiful and challenging championship golf courses. Fremont is home to a large outlet mall and Pokagon State Park where horseback rides are available. If you didn't go on vacation to cook every night, Kendallville and Rome City have many restaurants from which to choose. Kendallville is also the home of the Mid-America Windmill Museum.

Notes: The lake is 2.5 - 3' deep at our seawall and 4 - 5' deep at the end of our 30' pier and the bottom is sandy. We have some inflatable rafts available if you just feel like lounging around on the water. There is a large public access site just off of SR 9 in Rome City. This is also a great place to beach your boat to walk up the hill to the ice cream shop. A popular area on the lake is the 'sandbar' in the large basin near SR 9. This sandy area is ankle to knee deep and its common to see families anchoring there for the afternoon to enjoy the water. We have a limited supply of fishing gear available. Bait can be purchased at various stores around Rome City and Kendallville. Please ask if you need further details or if you are interested in an amenity that is not listed here. The Cable Internet Modem is only available during the Summer months for an additional $20 per week.

Lovely home - great location

Frank, Pat, Joyce and Bill Centerville, Ohio, USA
Review Submitted: October 18, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Rick and Cathy have a lovely house by the lake. It is so well furnished, clean and well stocked. You feel like you are at home. They were so nice and helpful in every way. We were very comforable there and hope to return there again. We certainly would recommend this property.

Beautiful place, just like the pictures...

Rick & Jana Fort Wayne, IN
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We've only rented a lake place one other time and this rental takes the cake. No detail was missed - clean, well furnished, exactly as shown in the pictures. All you need to bring is your swim suit, a few shorts and t-shirts, food, drink and good friends. My wife and I and our three kids (20,18, and 14) loved it. Rick and Cathy have thought of everything else from all your kitchen needs, to fishing gear, to firewood, to a nicely equipped boat which we also rented for the week. The garage with full sized ping-pong table and extra fridge also got it's use during our stay. Sylvan lake is a large lake with just the right mix of water sports, fisherman, and leisurely pontoon boaters. You can't go wrong with this one - we're certainly considering making it an annual vacation spot.

Review Submitted: February 24, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
This home is immaculate and well-stocked with travelers in mind. I couldn't believe that it was a rental place. The owners must work very hard. The deck and the access to the lake was wonderful as well. We greatly enjoyed our time there.

Lovely location, beautiful this time of year.

CCRGMac Fort Wayne, IN
Review Submitted: November 11, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
The house was clean and well-equipped with a lovely multi-level deck. Situated on a promentary in the lake you feel surrounded by water and the opposite shore (actually an island) is undeveloped which makes for a restful view. The nearby Gene Stratton Porter house is a gem.

Just a note; we visited in October when the lake was quiet and the surrounding homes were mostly empty. I have a feeling that it could be a lot less relaxing in the height of summer.

THIS is how to vacation!

Jim & Cindy Swanton, OH
Review Submitted: August 3, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Our week at this home on Sylvan Lake was awesome. Altho we had planned to have several other family members with us, schedules were such that just the 2 of us were able to come. The home had plenty of sleeping places had everyone been able to come, but it was wonderful having a second honeymoon all to ourselves. The home is tastefully appointed, with every amenity. Our hosts were great, and very helpful in sharing ideas for entertainment for our week. They even went out of their way to find out worship times and places for Sunday morning - we were so thankful! Having the Gene Stratton-Porter home nearby and walking trails was great, and the area has many other options for keeping busy. We were content to laze our days away on the lake, which is awesome - the largest in Noble County, so plenty of space to boat about and enjoy the scenery. If you want a great place to vacation,. THIS is it!!
