    Dishes can be washed the old fashioned way, by hand :)

    Looking for beautiful tile work and a steam shower / sauna? I recommend booking a different property! This one will allow you to shower (although, a bit claustrophobically), use the restroom, and wash your hands.

    The bedrooms house beds and not much more! Great for sleeping, bad for most other things!

    The water is potable (drinkable)! That said, it is well water, so it may have earth's metallic kiss built into its flavor profile. It may not taste/feel like the water you are used to having at home!

    There is no laundry on-site! A lake wardrobe should look something like: a single swim suit, a pair of well-loved flip flops, two ragged T- shirts, and one sweatshirt :) Who needs a washer / dryer when at the lake!

    Feeling warm? Great news - the home was recently updated with both Air Conditioning and heat! You can now stay cool inside, but I still recommend taking a dip in the lake, pouring yourself an ice cold beverage, or sitting in the shade to stay cool instead.

    Your rental includes access to 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, paddles/oars, and life jackets!! If you'd like to rent a pontoon or fishing boat, contact the host for the website link (unable to post here). The pickup point is within walking distance from the cottage to make life incredibly easy :)

    Looking to enjoy the outdoors? You rental comes with access to the grill, yard games like cornhole, yard pong, Bottle Bash / beersbee, etc., floaties/noodles, durable lifetime folding tables and chairs, and much more!

    Both our family and the prior owners' family cherish the idea of "the lake". It is an escape from everyday life's hustle and bustle and an opportunity to return to a simpler time. While WifI and TV are included, we highly recommend avoiding them! Enjoy the simple pleasures of being outdoors, drinking in the views, boating as much as possible (BYOB - Bring Your Own Boat!), playing yard games and card/board games, connecting with family and friends, and once it gets dark, have some incredible conversation around the bonfire.

    **Please note that the dock is a seasonal feature. It is removed in the Fall and put back into the water each Spring. If you specifically want/need the dock outside of the main summer months, please confirm with the host**

    The backyard, house, gravel area, front yard, firepit, and dock are all yours! Please be respectful of the neighbors, and please be aware that the section just to the right of the property as you face the lake has a pier that is shared between a few neighbors across the street.

The cottage is centrally-located in the heart of the Barbee Chain of Lakes. It also has a great back yard with plenty of shade and room to play games. The host also provides plenty of backyard games for guests. The neighbors are also very nice and welcoming.

We had a great weekend stay! The house was great for the three of us. It’s on a quiet road. We had fun taking the paddle boards out. Communication was great and quick. The check-in and checkout processes were simple.

We came to fish for a few days and were not disappointed. The rental was exactly what we needed - plenty of space to park our trucks and trailers, a pier for our boats, and a tavern a block away. The cabin was cool and rustic. We caught 50 fish here in the fall and we couldn't be more pleased. We rent for fishing trips twice a year and we will surely be back here next year!

Beautiful setting. Has all the amenities needed. The owner/manager was very responsive to all communications. A bonus was that the neighbors across the street that own the dock to the right, when looking out to the lake, were very friendly. We used Aloha boat rental. That was also a very positive experience.

We were not familiar with the Barbee chain of lakes before booking this unit. This place is a gem that seems to appear out of the cornfields as we traveled north. The bungalow has a great location right on the lake. The unit accommodated the five of us (two parents and 3 adult kids) fine. While we had an issue with the water for the unit during our stay, the host was very responsive and helpful in resolving the problem. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at this location again.

We had an amazing stay at Little Barbee Lake! The property was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The peaceful lake views and quiet atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind, and we loved spending time on the water and exploring the area.The location was excellent—close to great restaurants, hiking trails, and plenty of local attractions while still feeling like a private retreat. Our hosts were friendly, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out.We made wonderful family memories here and would absolutely stay again. If you’re looking for a relaxing lakeside escape in northern Indiana, we highly recommend this place!
