Excellent lakefront rental.
This was our second stay. Like our previous stay, our host owner was extremely responsive to questions I had about the property. She was also very helpful in making sure my elderly dad is safe and can easily get around. The fishing in the lake is also very good, and especially in the bay the house is located in. It’s a great property run by excellent owners - we’ll be back again in the future!

Tippy cottage
Our kids and grandkids really, really enjoy our stay at Tippy Cottage!!! The cottage is just perfect for our situation and the weather was much better than our first stay(October). The place is in excellent condition and the setting couldn’t be better. The kids and grandsons did some fishing, relaxing, s’mores and more, just perfect. The owners are terrific folks, friendly, quick to respond, just awesome people.

Best Lake House
My family and I been doing lake trips for the last 8 years and the Tippy Cottage is by far the best lake house we've stayed at. It was incredibly clean and comfortable. It has a great open family area on the top floor that was perfect for many family dinners and game nights. The fire pit was a perfect bonus. We really enjoyed our stay. Cindi was kind and responsive. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Everything was just as listed. Beds comfy, lots of space to relax. Screened in porch is where we spent most of our time. Plenty of room to tie up 2 boats! Owners super nice and accommodating. We will be back!

Great Oswego Lake retreat
This cottage is just off the channel to Lake Tippecanoe--so you have the quiet view of the smaller lake and are 5 minutes away from big lake fun! The cottage is well equipped and our family had a great time. Easy parking at the pier, especially loved the fire pit and the screened in porch. Xtra table and chairs provided was so nice! Thank you so much for sharing your special lake space!

Mini-reunion
Old friends of 70+ years (yes, that’s 70+!) had a delightful stay at TIPPY COTTAGE. It’s a beautifully sited, immaculate, spacious-yet cozy- home on the water. We enjoyed a campfire, many long discussions on the screened porch, restful sleep (very quiet), and lovely dinners at restaurants on nearby lakes, only 10 minutes away. We also met the owners who were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend and would love to return.

Great trip!
Great quiet location and very clean well stocked house. Perfect yard and fire pit with a dock. Pictures do not do it justice - plenty of room for 11 of us. A few packing tips: nothing lacking inside the house - lots of towels, blankets, pillows - fully stocked kitchen. You should bring whatever outside yard toys and floats your groups wants. Yard is perfect for throwing a ball or playing bags - just bring your own! We hope to be back!

3 words.... Screened In Porch!
If we weren't out on our boat, we spent most of our time out in the screened in porch. The home was roomy enough for 6 adults with room to spare. We liked that this home did not sit right up against neighboring homes and it had a large outdoor area and fire pit. Cindi was prompt to address any questions or concerns. We brought our boat and 2 jet skis. Lake Tippecanoe is a great water sports lake.

Perfect Cottage for our family
This is the second year we have been able to rent Tippy Cottage and have booked it again for next year. It works well for our family. The nice grassy area with a large shade tree is a wonderful place to play yard games and sit and watch the activity on the lake. The hosts are very friendly and live close by.
