This years Indiana winter weather has been intense. We have dealt with days full of snow, sleet, ice, freezing fog and single digit temps! It's hard to take it easy when you are dealing with old man winter being so contrary. Yet there has been tremendous beauty in the nature of winter this year with the glistening ice shimmering off tree branches, or in seeing beautiful snow caps lay on evergreen limbs. There is a cute parade of front yard snowmen in our neighborhood carefully made by the delight of children and family. It's a delight to awake to the hush in the air of new fallen snow and watch a neighbors dog try to romp through the snow drifts. Most of us can't stop to really enjoy the fun of winter during the work week but come the weekend it can be a fun family adventure.
Our Vacation Rentals Indiana Getaway is located in Epworth Forest in North Webster, IN. It is a great place for a winter family reprieve This Indiana Vacation rental offers a lakefront view of Lake Webster, offering activities of ice-fishing, sledding, ice-skating and making snowmen. There's nothing like taking a walk across the frozen lake and marking your initials or name in the ice or snow, followed up by the warmth inside to two toasty fireplaces (one on each level) along with a hot cup of coca. It's not unusual to spot a deer family right outside the cabin doors. Now until the end of March we are offering a Indiana Winter Getaway Special. For only $300.00 you can enjoy winter at it's best from Friday until Sunday.
Make reservations today to treat you and your family to some Indiana Winter fun!
We were at the lake this weekend and there were several groups out Hard Water Fishing. This is the first year I've ever heard of this term but it seems to be equally as popular as ice-fishing (BTW I know they're the same thing.)
If you like ice fishing then we have a Winter Cabin Rental where you can stay. I don't know if Lake Webster Fishing is as good in the winter as it is at other times of the year but I know there are people doing it! We saw snowmobiles, orv's, ice-fishing shacks and personal portable heater boxes in several places around Epworth Forest and other Lakefront Cabin Rentals. They were out on the ice all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
Our Take It Easy Lake Cabin Indiana is available now for hard-water fishermen, ice-fishermen or winter outdoor activities of any sort.
One of the joys of going to our Vacation Rentals Indiana Cabin can be found in the shopping stops we make along the way to the many stores we have discovered. Of course, there are many ways to get to our North Webster Lake Cabin Rental and it will depend on what direction you are coming from. One of our preferences is to travel Highway 13 North from Fishers, IN. It takes you through Elwood, Wabash, North Manchester, Pierceton and then North Webster, IN and then on into Epworth Forest. When you travel this path you not only get a taste of the small town Indiana flavor but find wonderful hidden treasures in each store.
There are many shops that I could blog about but I wanted to make mention of a few of the favorites that come to mind. Kitchens Plus is located in Wabash, IN and is a must visit. Do not let the name fool you as, yes they specialize in kitchens, but when they say PLUS... they mean it. They have so much more! This store is over flowing with a variety of unique items with emphasis on primitive home decor. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and talented. The store has an interior designer's touch and is creatively decorated with awesome displays. If you own a cabin or love primitive this is a great place to shop.
In North Manchester, IN.. you will find a very quaint and friendly downtown. You don't want to miss stopping in Nordman's Nook for gifts and the best homemade cookies, pies and cakes. Travel down a little further into town and you will find Home Again gift shop. This is a favorite store for shoppers in the area. Home Again offers an array of items from gifts, jewelry, home decor and children's toys. The Owner greets each guest with individualized attention and has a good variety of quality products.
Once you enter Pierceton, IN you will find a wonderful antique shop called Sydow's Antiques. The Owner is extremely knowledgeable about antiques and has very rare collectibles in his shop.
Upon entering our final destination, North Webster, IN you will find an array of shops in the heart of downtown. We are partial to this community and it's store's so it's hard to say that one shop is better than the other.
We highly recommend North Webster's Ace Hardware Store and it's emphasis on seasonal items. The Third Generation Antique Store is packed with antiques/collectibles and hidden treasures. The store owners are very friendly and the pricing is great. Olson's Furniture Store is the perfect place to find inside cabin or lake cottage furnishings along with outdoor furniture and decor. The Golden Mermaid is a must see for visitors or cabin renters as they have all sorts of lake memorabilia to buy for souvenirs.
So if you are ever in this area or on your way to our "Take It Easy Cabin"... enjoy and savor your trip by stopping in one of these merchant's locations.
Our Vacation Home Indiana Cabin is located just 2 1/2 hours from northern Indianapolis. This Indiana Log Cabin views Lake Webster and the lake is known for Muskie Fishing. Reserve a date today to enjoy the adventure of travels and shopping to our Lakefront Cabin Rental.
My best Peyton Manning impression. Don't worry about it! But, if you need some RnR after the exciting Colts Superbowl Victory come to Epworth Forest and kick back at the Take It Easy Cabin.
Or, if you're sad because the New Orleans Saints got whupped, come lick your wounds among some real saints, the folks in and around Fishing Lakes Indiana.
Indiana Lake Cabins are the perfect place just to get away for any reason. You can Rent Cabin Indiana even if you're a Bears, Bengals, Browns or Packers fan.
Stuck in a rut about what to do this Valentine's Day? Don't want to do the same song and dance of candy and flowers? Then why not book a Winter Cabin rental and enjoy a Indiana weekend getaway at our northern Vacation Rentals Indiana log cabin.
There's nothing like a cozy romantic log cabin where you can enjoy alone time with the company of your sweetheart. We have two crackling fireplaces in our two story log cabin that has great panoramic views of Lake Webster. It's completely furnished (except for personal linen) so all you have to do is pack a light bag and you're on your way.
What better way of saying "I love you" then treating yourself and lover to a log cabin retreat. Unlike gifts of flowers, which die and candy, which is eaten, a creative gift of a rental cabin weekend is one gift that will leave behind lasting memories to be cherished for years.
Attached is a montage I did as a follow up in regards to my most recent blog about Haiti.
Wesley and I have been blogging a lot lately about Haiti as we continue to look for of ways to help.
Wesley's parents, are the original founders of our winter cabin rental in North Webster, IN Years ago they once served as missionaries in Haiti. This tragedy has been so difficult to make human sense out of but I know one thing for sure and that is the people of Haiti are teaching us many lessons! Prior to the earthquake many of us were lost in what we call our down turned economy. We focused on our lack. Perhaps one doesn't understand the true meaning of lack until you witness what we have been shown through the media about the earthquake and following Haiti days occurrences and their fight to just survive. This tragedy was broadened our sensitivity to compassion and is enlightening the world to the resiliency of the human spirit.
Please continue to pray and give what you can to Haiti. Also, don't forget that 25% of any Vacation Home Indiana Rental taken in February will go towards Haiti.
The recent news of the Haiti disaster has really touched my heart and Wesley's. The tragedy of what has occurred has caused so much destruction, death and suffering. I like millions of others have felt helpless at times as to how I can help. I look out our Vacation Home Indiana Winter Cabin Rental that views Lake Webster and feel the tranquility and peace, yet I know miles and miles away there is suffering beyond belief. Humans without shelter, water and food. I cheer for my beloved Indiana Colt's team and yet my heart cannot forget that others are suffering and something more needs to be done.
My Nephew by marriage, Joel Perkins, has his pilots license. Flying has been his passion for years. They reside in Atlanta, GA and he was asked to fly one of Ted Turner's planes to deliver supplies and water to the citizens of Haiti. Ted Turner has donated 1 Million Dollars towards Haiti relief. Joel was asked to perform this duty on the day he was celebrating two of his children's birthdays. He accepted and flew out that day.
This assignment has changed his life forever but he also wanted to do his part to contribute. He was so touched by what he saw especially when it came to the children. He flies back and forth each day from Florida to Haiti. He felt the calling to do more so he almost bought out the entire Wal Mart in Florida with medical supply needs, toys, and candy to bring to Haiti He is spending his own money to do this. Today, Haiti not only received the supplies that Ted Turner has sponsored but so much more including 1,200 blow pops and toys for the children. These innocent children and orphaned children must be so lost and confused in all the chaos the earthquake has caused. My Niece, Michelle is now receiving all sorts of donations from family, friends and even a few strangers.
In addition to this, Joel was able to meet a family from California trying to adopt and save a 7 year old orphan from Haiti. He was able to transport them out of there and fly them to Florida.
So besides our personal Haiti donations we will donate 25% of any cabin rental that occurs in February towards "Haiti Smiles"
Now you can enjoy a great winter cabin rental with lakefront views and help make a difference in Haiti.
We hope everyone will continue to hold Haiti in their prayers.
It's been winter lately, did you notice? People frequently tell me how cold it's been or how they wish it would be warmer, well, guess what...it's Indiana in January! It's supposed to be cold.
But, come visit the cabin anyway, there's a furnace to keep you toasty, 2 fireplaces to make you cozy, a log cabin atmosphere for nostalgia and plenty of activities to keep you occupied. Lake Webster Fishing is good on hardwater just like it is in the summer. Fishing Lakes Indiana are good all year 'round. And the shopping at antique malls never stops.
There's no better spiritual retreat than Epworth Forest! The spirits of the saints, saints like you and me and our ancestors, are everywhere and the scenery is beautiful. Roxanne and I looked out the window and saw 7 (seven) deer walk across the lake form the bird sanctuary to our yard and it was wonderful. We've all written our names in the snow, made snow angels, some ice skating and I've even eaten snow ice cream, have you?
A Winter Cabin Rental would be perfect for you. Lake Cottage Rentals Indiana, Vacation Rentals Indiana, Indiana Weekend Getaway and Vacation Rentals Indiana are something we do for you and our family and friends because they're valuable to the soul and to the collective peace of mind. Spring really is just around the corner but like the song says: "lighten up while you still can...take it easy."
We visited our Indiana Pet Friendly Cabins the other weekend and had a great time with our little baby - Ruthie. Here she is sitting by the fire place, warming up from a cold walk outside.
If you are like our family, the biggest problem with trying to get away for a weekend is what to do with the dog. Well, at the Take It Easy Cabin, that's one thing you don't have to worry about! Feel free to bring your dog, cat, hamster, gerbil... whatever type of animal you hold dear. Your family is sure to enjoy spending a weekend away without having to stress about finding a pet sitter or wondering what how the kennel is treating your four-legged friend.
If you're interested in getting away this winter - book your Winter Cabin Rental soon, we're offering discounted rates for all January and February weekends.
This Christmas we had renters at our Winter Cabin Rental. We hope they enjoyed the log cabin holiday trimmings and woodland environment inside and out Epworth Forest. I am sure waking up to the Lake Webster view and snow just added to their Christmas joy!
We loved sharing time with local family and friends at our personal home but had a ache in our heart when our North Webster, Indiana cabin friends/ neighbor sent us this pic of our northern Indiana Rental Weekend getaway on Christmas Day. They had snow on Christmas!
We plan to finish up our 2009 year and celebrate the New Year's Holiday at our cozy Log Cabin. It will be the perfect setting to ring out the old and bring in the new year.
"Isn't it funny that at Christmas something in you gets so lonely for - I don't know what exactly, but it's something that you don't mind so much not having at other times" ~Kate L. Bosher
I recently saw this posted quote on a friends face book page and it struck a chord. I could so relate and know that others can too. Perhaps the older you get the more meaning this quote might mean. Christmas has a way of taking you back in time, thought and feelings. It brings forth all your past Christmas memories especially those perceived through the innocence of your childhood eye's or the fondest times of all in your past Christmas experiences and memories. What can truly compete with a memory if you decide it was the best ever? I believe ones life can be very fulfilled and feel no remiss during the year yet who amongst us at some time doesn't have a longing for a simpler life of being a child or what they recalled that really brought them love, peace and joy? There are very few people that live with the spirit of Christmas in their hearts 364 days a year... yet when we hear a Christmas carol being sung, or watch a Christmas movie we yearn and focus on those scared moments in our life with loved ones that really matter.
Christmas can be very magical as our hearts shift to miracles, faith and gifts of all kinds. During the holiday season we pause to honor things of true meaning including our past and often this call of loneliness we hear is just a ghost whisper from the past. Christmas transforms our thinking to giving and honoring love. As years past things change, families do grow up, families can move apart, relationships may fail and break apart, we lose loved ones to passing, perhaps don't stay connected as we want to with dear friends, we grow older and shift our likes and dislikes, and we live daily with grown up responsibilities. Life is ever constantly changing and yet time can have it's way of standing still in our mind during the holiday season. Christmas takes us back to our beginnings. A special day where we can't help but feel the "Spirit of Christmas" and the importance of love, loved ones, and the childhood that formed us. We realize we can't go back, and take stock of who and what we are today in gratitude for all those experiences that bring us to yet another Christmas Day.
Yes, many of us will feel a nagging ache and longing for that which was was and for those things, people, places and memories we rarely recall throughout the year. I think it is part of the tapestry of life and perhaps Christmas makes us more conscious in honoring the past and then reflecting on our current blessings that have been bestowed upon us in our life journey.
May your Christmas Season be full of love, wonderful family memories.. and finding time to always ...Take It Easy in life
Merry Christmas!
PS: Our Lakefront Cabin Rentals located in the Epworth Forest area in North Webster, Indiana has been creating family memories and Christmas traditions since the mid 1950's. This Winter Cabin Rental has such a long history of family memories throughout the year. Our Northern Indiana Cabin Rentals was built out of love by Rev. LG Sapp & Emily Sapp. We hope you will reserve some time in 2010 to spend time at our log cabin and make family memories that will last forever.
Unfortunately, My Dad never visited our Muskie Fishing Indiana Cabin located in North Webster, Indiana. He passed prior to Wesley and I ever meeting. Yet, we both know that this would have been one of his favorite Indiana Log Cabin Getaways. Dad loved to golf, boat and fish. He would have loved everything about this cabin including the fact that Lake Webster is known for great Muskie fishing and a golf course that is less than 10 minutes away. He loved the outdoors, cooking out, family gatherings, early morning dawns on the lake, crappie fishing and keeping life simple.
We have two boats that we use at our cabin. One is a newer speed boat and the other is a very old pontoon boat that has a definite "Beverly Hillbilly" look to it! Years ago, We christened it with a new name after my dad. He was nicked named "Punk" as a child but was far from that as an adult. He was 6'2 and a big man. A real man's man. In his honor in a fun way.. we renamed the boat "Punk's Party Barge" He would of cared less about how the boat looked but just that it functioned! Maybe a lesson I am still learning:) We have had most all of my family members to our cabin except for a few who live in distant states. They have all agreed and commented on how Dad and (Grandpa) would have loved it here. He would have felt like he had a slice of paradise.
Dad passed away in December of 1994 and even though he never experienced the love of this cabin his spirit is felt here and many of his future generations feel a love and remembrance of him when they gather here. This is a place that he would have loved!
The Christmas Holiday brings up many memories from the past to the current. We keep his memory alive in many ways including a framed pic of him at our cabin with a big catch!
One of my regrets is that he did not get to share this cabin life experience with me and our family. Yet we will continue to keep his memory alive.
We have spent the last two weekends sharing in the holiday spirit with family members at our Vacation Rentals Indiana cabin.
This past weekend we had our niece Molly, husband and their 3 children join us. I must say there is an extra magic at the cabin when little ones come to visit. Their laughter and Christmas excitement lights up our cabin. We had a full day of treats that included sipping hot chocolate with mini marsh mellows, unwrapping gifts found under the tree, and in making Christmas sugar cookies.
Lake Webster was frozen in sections allowing the outside Christmas lights to cast a nice glow and reflection over the ice. Our winter rental cabin is a perfect holiday setting to welcome children, family and friends.
Last weekend a few family members of our Vacation Rentals Indiana log cabin gathered to decorate our winter cabin rental Christmas Tree. It was a fun weekend of stringing the lights and hanging the new "woodland theme" Christmas ornaments that I carefully selected. We love the cozy glow of the Christmas tree and the lights out back that look out on Lake Webster from our Lakefront Cabin Rentals.
We had a loving weekend of decorating, eating, playing cards and watching one of our families favorite Christmas movies... Christmas Vacation. I have seen it so many times but still laugh when the squirrel jumps out of the tree.
Next weekend we have more family members coming with young children to visit the cabin... Can't wait!
This weekend we are packing up the pets and joining Wesley's youngest daughter and son in-law along with their dog to decorate our northern Indiana winter rental cabin. I enjoy decorating and for the past couple years I have been changing out old traditional cabin Christmas ornaments and replacing them with more of a rustic woodland theme.
Our North Webster cabin can be so cozy in the winter with the upstairs and downstairs fireplaces going, Christmas tunes and sipping hot chocolate as we trim the Christmas Tree. There's nothing like watching the snow fall over Lake Webster or catching a glimpse of deer walk over the frozen lake.
We have a fun weekend planned at our log cabin in Epworth Forest full of family dinners and activities. I may even enlist the families help in making a few homemade cinnamon stick Christmas ornaments for the tree. Maybe a few area friends will stop over for some holiday cheer. We can't wait to create another family memory at our beloved Indiana Weekend Getaway Cabin.
