About this property

Enjoy amazing views, sunsets & conversations by the fire on our huge flat lawn

We have a very large level lake front yard with a great outdoor living space that has a large handmade Mayan family hammock (up to 600lbs) that is sheltered underneath a covered deck. Additionally we have an outdoor polished concrete and stainless steel wet bar area with a huge entertainment sink designed to fill with ice and last all day long. We also have a large custom built in outdoor enclosed shower area that is great for summertime fun . It also has a TV hook up if you need to watch a big game etc, and electrical outlets for your crock pots, chargers etc. along with a large outdoor ceiling fan to create a breeze if you prefer. We have a nice fire pit that we often enjoy towards the evenings and makes for a great conversation setting for all ages.

Adam's lake is an all sports lake from 10am to 6pm. From 6pm to 10am it is a no wake lake allowing the fishermen and everyone to enjoy the sunsets and relax. Our lake is about 350 acres, spring fed and 98' deep. We have an amazing and very popular sand bar for all to enjoy on the East side of the lake. Adam's lake pub serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as has a full bar and you can drive your boat over or drive your car there. You can google Adam's Lake pub for their hours and menu.

We have a two story home with 3 bedrooms on the 2nd story. The master was just completely remodeled and offers a King sized bed, with a very large closet and a large Anderson Patio door that opens to the 24x20 upper deck. The 2nd bedroom was also just remodeled and offers a Queen sized bed with built in storage drawers under the bed, large closet and also has a patio door that opens onto the upper deck. The 3rd bedroom
was also just remodeled and offers a twin over standard bunk bed and a large closet. Completely the 2nd floor is a full bathroom with a large jetted tub and shower. On the first floor we have a large kitchen and living room area with large ceramic tile floors and great views of the lake. The kitchen features new stainless steel appliances(side by side fridge, dishwasher, electric smooth top self cleaning stove, and toaster and microwave. The living room has a leather sofa and love seat along with a nice chair & ottoman. We also have a family room with a love seat and a desk area. Wireless wifi throughout the house. Our deck has landscape lighting that comes on and off automatically. We have a nice kayak, a paddle king paddle boat and many other floats for your use as well as a nice roll in aluminum dock. There is plenty of room to dock your boat and a public landing on the East side. We also have cable with movie channels should you decide to watch some TV.
Our favorite area is our outdoor living area where we have an outdoor shower, and a full wet bar with our large entertainment sink. We also have a large coca-cola refrigerator for your beer, or soft drinks etc.

We are very close to Shipshewana, the Midwest's largest Flea Market and Antique Auction which also has numerous Amish bakeries, meat shops, cheese shops, candy stores, Amish Made Furniture stores, etc. which offer excellent shopping.

Family time
Although our week (weather) was not the greatest we made due. Ran into a couple snags but Jeff and Darla were super responsive and corrected the issue! Very comfortable place, great view and most importantly we were able to spend time with family all in one place!! Adams Lake is a beautiful lake and would highly recommend renting on this lake!

Family trip
Great location, great property. There is plenty of space, indoors and out... and plenty of seating in all spaces. They also have lots of games and things to do together... corn hole, croquet, and other outdoor games. The back yard is huge and flat with nice views, and good fishing! Our grandson caught a mess. This property is well-equipped inside and out, and Jeff and Darla are great people and very accommodating. Having the opportunity to rent their pontoon was a must and much appreciated. Nice boat. Friendly neighbors too. Recommend!

Still waiting on return of boat security deposit two months later
Booked our family vacation for mid August. Host listed the availability of a pontoon rental, which my parents did separately. Agreement stated a $400 security deposit (less gas used) would be returned 2 weeks after rental. They have attempted contacting host via phone at least 5-10 times (no voicemail set up), text, and messaging thru VRBO site 3 times and no response except the first time which was over a month ago, that he needed to look into it. He has been completely unresponsive.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Fox

Host profile image
I have been coming up to Adam's lake every year since 1968. My grandparents owned our home before we purchased it. Their grandparents owned the property on the corner next door to ours. We have completely updated most of our home and really enjoy the times we spend at the lake together with friends and family. I have started a new business and didn't get to spend as much time last year at the lake as I had hoped. That is why we decided to rent it out so that others could have as much fun and good times as we have as well as helping off set our costs to maintain it.

Why they chose this property

Our property on Adam's Lake is unique in that we have a very large and even front yard between the house and the lake. It is ideal for entertaining, for playing catch or for kicking a soccer ball around. We also have installed a nice fire pit that makes for a great gathering area in the evenings and many bottles of wine have been shared around our fire pit. Additionally there is a large beaver mound about 50 feet of our lake front that is fun to watch the beavers around dusk and dawn. We love Adam's lake because it offers the perfect balance with a full sports lake during the day and a more relaxed environment from 6pm to 10am.
*** Our home is a non-smoking pet free property.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views, set back from the busy boating section, several lily pads to fish in, a nice channel that the kids love to catch turtles in. A great sandbar to swim on and to top it all of a very nice restaurant connected to the lake.

Also there are several local things to do for all ages in Kendallville (11miles), LaGrange (12 miles) and Shipshewana (19 miles)

We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!
