Lakefront Fun on Papakeechie | Kayaks & More!

Syracuse, IN, United States

9 guests
2 bedrooms
1 bathroom

Create lasting memories with the family at one of the very first cottages on Papakeechie Lake. Relax on the deck taking in the graceful swans that reside here, go for a peaceful ride in the kayaks or take a stroll around our no motor lake on our peddle boat and even swim right off of the pier. Grab the smores and have a blast telling stories around the camp fire. The kids will feel like they're camping, especially sleeping in the loft! Cozy up on chilly nights next to the indoor fireplace.

Good to know

The kitchen, dining, bath and laundry areas are on the lower level with sliding glass doors all along the front to take in beautiful sunsets. At the top of the stairs, you will find the living room with fireplace, games and there is a full sized bed placed in the back corner. Off of the living room are 2 bedrooms. You have to go through the bedroom with a queen bed to get to the other bedroom with a twin. We have a peddle boat, row boat, kayaks and a swim raft that you are more than welcome to use. There is room to park one vehicle at the bottom of our shared drive. Please do not block the drive as this is the same way the neighbors exit.

Other Details to Note

This is quite a few steps down from the parking area. The lake is down just a little farther from the cottage.

This cottage was a gem. We loved the cozyness of it and the views were amazing. We were so relaxed. Our golden Retriever had fun swimming and smelling and listening to nature as well as all of us. We swam, caught lots of fish and went out on the peddal boat and had bonfires. It was a perfect weekend. Jo, was responsive and took care of any of our needs. I 100% recommend staying here for some R&R.

The Red Cottage was the perfect weekend get away / guys trip. 6 of us highschool friends got together for a reunion and had a blast. The deck is the ultimate hang out. The grill made for a great BBQ for dinner one night. The kayaks and tubs provided plenty to do. We fished and swam daily. The host Jo was extremely friendly, responsive and flexible on our check in / out time which was much appreciated. We will 100% be back. Only gripe was 2 thin mattresses in the loft for beds which were slightly uncomfortable.
