Make time for lake days, hot tub nights, and the people who matter most. Our lake house in Rome City, Indiana, is a welcoming escape for families and friends looking to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy beautiful Sylvan Lake. With approximately 669 acres of water and 16 miles of shoreline, all sports Sylvan Lake offers plenty to explore. Spend summer days boating, water skiing, fishing, or enjoying a leisurely cruise through the lake’s five connected basins. Whether you love active afternoons on the water or simply taking in the scenery, Sylvan Lake brings together outdoor adventure and small-town charm. There’s more to discover beyond the water. Explore the natural beauty of Big Island and its walking trails, or visit the nearby Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site, where wooded grounds, gardens, and the author’s historic lakeside cabin offer a peaceful outing. Back at the house, there are four bedrooms with each featuring a queen bed, providing plenty of space for guests to relax. The cool basement includes a comfy sofa bed, ideal for extra visitors or a cozy movie night. With 3 and 1/2 bathrooms, mornings are easy and stress-free for everyone. Heating and AC keep the atmosphere pleasant no matter the season. Enjoy the indoor fireplace during winter nights or the pool table which can convert to table tennis on rainy days. There are also plenty of board games to bring your family together. Outdoor you will find a grill and firepit. The year-round hot tub makes every season feel like a getaway. Unwind after a day exploring, enjoy a crisp autumn evening soak, or add a little warmth to a cozy winter weekend. There is a playground within walking distance that is fun for kids of all ages. Also, within walking distance you can enjoy one of the local ice cream parlors while overlooking the lake. From summer vacations to relaxing off-season escapes, our Sylvan Lake retreat is a place to enjoy good company and make lasting memories.
