The Hidden Avalon On The Lake In Indiana Is A Beach Getaway With The Utmost Charm
Quick geography refresher: Indiana is a state located in the Midwestern United States. It is entirely land-locked; that is, there are no oceans along any of its borders. There is, however, a portion of the state (45 miles of it) that borders Lake Michigan, a lake so enormous that it certainly looks and feels like the ocean. The Hoosier State is also home to countless (literally thousands) of small lakes, medium-sized lakes, and 19 large lakes whose surface areas are more than 500 acres in size. One of those is Winona Lake, a stunning blue body of water that sparkles in the sunlight and adds an otherworldly beauty to the town of, well, Winona Lake. And along the shores of Winona Lake are some gorgeous little beach houses, all of which are beautiful – but there’s one that stands out in particular, and lucky us: it just so happens to be an Airbnb. This beach Airbnb in Indiana might not be on the ocean, but it’s a lakeside paradise where you’re still very much able to sink your toes into some warm sand.
Avalon on the Lake is a gorgeous cabin home with stunning lake views and all the space you'll ever need.
It comfortably sleeps up to 10, but we recommend it as a one-on-one getaway with your favorite person or, better still, a great place to escape to when you need a little me-time.
The first thing you'll notice upon arrival is the sunlight streaming in through the huge windows in the living room.
The expansive open floor plan gives the entire home a roomy, comfortable feel without being overwhelming. It's the perfect size for kicking back and relaxing without the feeling of being boxed in.
Curl up with a good book or do some puzzles. Maybe indulge in some mindful coloring or any other hobby you enjoy - as long as you remain unplugged.
Few things are more relaxing than curling up with a good book, except maybe doing that outside next to a crystalline lake that seems to reflect the blue of the sky.
There is also a fire pit, so curl up, get warm, and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sun go down (or come up) over the lake.
While you're here, there is plenty to do nearby. The town of Winona Lake is adorable, and we're pretty sure you'll love it. It's even home to a charming village of shops that you've got to check out!
In all, we're confident that Avalon on the Lake is a perfect escape next time you feel the need to go to the beach but can't leave Indiana.
