Lynn is very nice and very helpful in answering any questions you may have. The lake is really nice and overall pretty quite.

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!

Great location for the area
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.

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.

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!

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.

The house is very clean but old
Lots of little things in the bathroom that you might have forgotten, things like hairspray and shaving cream. The area is very secluded
And nowhere to go if you are looking for entertainment and food . The water in the lake is clean but very shallow. You will walk and walk and walk and it will be still up to your waste line.
It is good for kids and people who does not like to swim. You may bring some DVDs to watch movies in the evening.
There are some DVDs but they are old in production.
There are books to read if you are a reader. Otherwise it is quite boring and nothing to do in the evening. There are books and games for children.
We enjoyed our stay in the house. The owners are very nice and hard working to maintain excellent landscaping.
The water that is used in the house comes from a well and has a strong smell of sulfur. You may bring your own drinking water as we did to make coffee or tea and drink.
Kids may not like the smell of water to wash faces and brush teeth.
Otherwise the place is very nice.

We rented this property to take my 75 year old mother back to where she grew up as a child. My family which includes my parter, my brother, sister in law and two adult nephews and one of their fiancé had a great time! My Mom got to share what a special place Oliver Lake is! The house and grounds were awesome! Very clean and the property managers were very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this property and hope to visit again.

Fun at Oliver Lake
This is our family's third year staying at this property and we are signed up for again for a week next summer. Spacious comfortable home with everything you need for the family. Now that the kids are older we rented a pontoon boat for the week and it was wonderful to explore the whole lake. The grandkids totally enjoyed themselves.

We had a wonderful experience at LoLo’s Lakeside Retreat. It was the cleanest and most well stocked rental we have ever stayed in. The shallow water off the dock is perfect for young kids. The Bowen’s are communicative and friendly. Highly recommend!

The cottage slept 11 easily and we were able to entertain more than this in the living room, etc. We have stayed at many cottages in the past, but this is by far the best. The owners live across the street and were always available and friendly. I hate to leave a good review because we don't want everyone staying here and taking up the entire summer in the future, but my family had a great time. The beach is sandy and shallow. There is nothing we didn't like about this cabin and definitely be back in the future.
