Indiana Highway 13...The Road To Small Town Treasures

Saturday, January 30, 2010 by Roxanne Turner
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. 
 
 
 

Happy New Year From Our Lakefront Cabin Rentals

Wednesday, December 30, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

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.  
 
Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas from our Indiana Log Cabin

"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.
 
 

In Loving Remembrance of Dad

Sunday, December 20, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


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. 

Here is a montage of a "In Remembrance of my Dad"

The Spirit of Christmas

Thursday, December 17, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

 
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.

Christmas Tree trimming planned for our "Cabin Sweet Cabin"

Wednesday, December 2, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


 
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. 
 

Pie Eyed Petey's... Our favorite casual dining spot

Saturday, November 14, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

Whenever we go to our Vacation Rentals Indiana cabin we always try to take a short drive to Leesburg, IN to eat or have a drink at Pie Eyed Petey's.   It has great food and a kicky upbeat atmosphere that you'll enjoy.   The inside is decorated in a pirate/nautical theme including boat seating.  The Restaurant is less than 20 minutes from our Lakefront Cabin Rental in Epworth Forest and we think one the area's nicest casual spots to have fun.  Last weekend we dinned in one of their boat seats and grabbed a delicious pizza.

Connect with friends at our Winter Cabin Rental Indiana

Monday, November 2, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

We just returned from a fun Halloween Weekend spent with very special friends at our Northern Indiana Cabin rental.  The weekend went by way too fast as we got lost in our conversation, laughter and in visiting the area lakes and restaurants.  We had a delicious lunch at Pie Eyed Petey's and found out that both of our guest had childhood ties to the neighboring area. Stephen had memories of Lake Shue and Cyndy use to attend a old cheer leading campground called Maxwelton in Syracuse Indiana  The weather was rather chilly and windy on Saturday with lots of water caps out on Lake Webster so we enjoyed the warmth of our cabin fireplace and the Epworth Forest setting.  It was a delightful weekend of stories, fun and friendship.
 

Our Epworth Forest Log Cabin is the perfect setting for Thanksgiving

Thursday, October 15, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

I have noticed that most my client retailers that I call on have already started displaying Christmas items and Halloween hasn't even arrived yet, but I have also noticed a lot of people shopping online for cabin rentals for both Thanksgiving and Christmas here in northern Indiana lately.

If you are even thinking about Thanksgiving or Christmas yet, and you think that the perfect family gathering would be in a warm cabin with two fireplaces going, while gazing outside at Lake Webster, then you might want to get with it!  We recently received some inquiries about Christmas but as of today Thanksgiving is still open. 

Our Vacation Home Indiana Rental is so perfectly charming for holiday family dinners.  The natural all wood log walls and floor inside is picture perfect.  The cabin is fully equipped and has windows in every room with views that open up to nature.  It is not unusual to see deer, gray squirrels and a variety of wild life right outside the windows.   A log cabin setting is a perfect place to create a Thanksgiving or Christmas Memory.


Warm up to a fall bonfire in Epworth Forest

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

The nights are definitely cooler now and the breeze carries the scent of the leaves falling and a hint of birch bark crackling somewhere close by. Just the thought of it makes you feel cozy and ready to pack up the marshmallows and chocolate,  hot dogs,  coco, or warm apple cider and head out to our fire pit area at our Vacation Rentals Indiana Cabin. We have bonfires in the summer and fall yet during the summer months it can get a bit heated by the fire with all the humidity.  Fall is the best time to really enjoy a full blown bonfire. Wesley or one of his friends usually brings out a guitar, and we huddle around the fire to exchange stories, laughter and fun.  Having a bonfire is a wonderful way to connect with friends and family.

Area Ghost Hauntings & Stories Around Epworth Forest

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


When I first heard the rumor about the nearby Barbee Hotel in Warsaw, IN ( just 15 minutes from our Lake Cottage Rentals Indiana Home) to be haunted by the spirit of Al Capone it certainly made for a fascinating story. The story claims that he and many of his gangsters buddies haunt the hotel. Staff members have reported seeing an old man sitting in a booth after closing. When staff members talk to him there is no response. Thinking they are dealing with an unruly customer they leave to get assistance. However, upon returning the bar is empty and no one has seen anyone leave. One legend states that the hotel was a popular place that gangsters took their girlfriends to. One gangster however took the girlfriend of another gangster. She was then murdered in the hotel by the jealous thug. People have reported that they hear her wailing at night and they feel cold spots generating from the area. Other phenomena includes the appearance of faces in photographs taken at the hotel, and more commonly orbs. Around the hotel itself is a popular place to see orbs and apparitions
A couple years ago Wesley and I invited some good friends over from Elkhart, IN to our Northern Indiana Cabins and we had dinner at the Barbee Restaurant. We struck up a conversation with a Professor from Notre Dame University who actually specialized in the paranormal.  He considered himself a modern day "ghost buster".  He was there that weekend with a group of other men  to check out evidence to support the story.  Now, I have always been fascinated by a good ghost story and meeting him seemed to give some substance to the rumor.  Of course, the story seemed more credible as I finished my second glass of wine:)

A very long running ghost story for North Webster,Indiana is the ghost story about the old
North Webster Elementary School which is now a community center. Some say a young boy wearing khakis and a blue sweater roamed the athletic areas playing sports and shutting off the lights. When someone went to turn the lights on the light switch is already on. There was also a teacher in high heels on the second floor. People said that they could hear high heel shoes clicking on the floor. Random appliances in the school would turn on and off by themselves. The young boy could also be seen in the library trying to check out books. Hmmn...wonder what the ghost are up to now since it's been converted?
 
There are many other ghost stories out there involving North Webster, Indiana.  You can read a few of them by going to http://www.ghostsofamerica.com/4/Indiana_North_Webster_ghost_sightings.html

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
 

Halloween Movies recommended for Lake Cottage Rentals Indiana

Tuesday, October 13, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

I usually make a point to watch as many horror movies as possible in the fall leading up to Halloween. In honor of the upcoming season. I enjoy the feel of a classic old time horror movie that just feels good to watch on Halloween, much like Night of the Living Dead does. A good old fashion scary flick that gives you something to think about  One of the scariest movies I saw as a child was one with Vincent Price called "House of Ushers" and after the movie they had the characters who had died (some who were buried alive) come from behind the screen... you talk about being scared.  I have watched this movie as an adult and laugh at the exaggerated 60's drama and blood curdling screams. 
Check this classic movie (funny now) out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k48BMS5AfW0

I've noticed in the past few years that horror films are becoming too much to handle for certain people. A lot of these recent films are what is known as a slasher film when the plot focuses on psycho killers. These kinds of films give people like me anxiety, due to the fact that this possible situation could happen.  These movies really creep me out especially when I am at our Vacation Home Indiana Cabin.  It just feel scarier since we are more remotely located in a Northern Indiana Cabin.

Since this Halloween we will be enjoying our lakefront cabin rentals that views Lake Webster, we will no doubt rent or buy some Halloween DVDs to add to our collection of movies (approximately 50 movies to choose from) that we keep at our cabin for ourselves and for guest.  Some of our favorite Halloween movies are...Halloween of course.. Friday the 13th... Night of the Living Dead (b/w version) Pumpkin Head..It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown (for the faint hearted), Saw, Hellraiser,  and Cabin Fewer (of course)   



 


Autumn Cabin Family Fun In Epworth Forest

Monday, October 12, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


In the North Webster, Indiana fall, when the air is cool and the leaves begin to get crisp, you will always find door steps and front porches in Epworth Forest protected by the fun scarecrow.  It is so popular that seeing a home without a scarecrow is actually unusual.  Kids and adults both love to build scarecrows and it is known to be one of the greatest family projects that any family could ever think of sharing.  In fact many area families make the scarecrow part of a yearly tradition when it comes to making them.
So this year Wesley and I thought we would make an attempt to make our own Lakefront Cabin Rentals Scarecrow that would look out to Lake Webster.  I have never made a scarecrow but we have plenty of old clothes to use so this will be a fun project while we are at our Indiana Cabin Rentals. 
Here are some suggestions I found on the internet on how to make a scarecrow for those of you who are like me and have never tried it. 

Creating your own Scarecrow


    • What to use for clothes: The most common used are blue jeans or blue jean overalls and a old button up flannel shirt.  Get yourself a pack of safety pins to help you attach the shirt to the pants so you can stuff your scarecrow really good.  You will also need a pair of gloves to attach to the arms and.......Don't forget the straw hat now!
    • What to use for stuffing:  The most common item to use to stuff your scarecrow is pine straw that you have raked up out of your yard or even hay.  A way to cheat the stuffing process is to save up your 1/2 gallon plastic milk jugs.  Wash them really well and use them to stuff down the legs of your scarecrow as a filler between the rest of the stuffing that your using.  This method also makes your scarecrow light in weight and easy to move around.  If your worried about your scarecrow taking a runner..... then think about filling up the milk jugs that actually sit at the bottom of the pants leg full of water for weight.  This will keep his feet in place. Now stuff stuff stuff as tight as you can.
    • What to use for the head: There are many different ways to make your scarecrows head.  The idea of using a gallon milk jug comes to mind or even a pumpkin or a gourd.  Retail stores now sale pumpkin shaped trash bags that you can stuff and decorate your yards with.  These trash bags make a easy head for your scarecrow and the face is already there for you.  Another simple thing to do is to stuff an old pillow case and tuck it in the neck of the flannel shirt.  Don't forget to attach it with the safety pins.  Buckets and flower pots also work just great as heads too.  Remember to have paint so you can create that famous scarecrow face.
    • Helpful Tips:  Use string and rope to help you tie off the opening of the arms and legs so the stuffing doesn't fall out.  Stuffing will always settle in time so as your stuffing your scarecrow, shake it down several times so it will pack really tight.
    • Extra Fun: Having a Mr. Scarecrow is the most common thing to have but for some extra fun.... why not make a Mrs. Scarecrow to go with him.  Use your imagination and see what you can come up with.


What's your favorite Halloween Candy Treat?

Monday, October 12, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


My favorite part of trick or treat was sorting my candy. My sisters and I would each claim a spot in the living room and empty out our pillow cases full of candy.  We would spend at least an hour going over our haul. We'd make it last as long as possible and gloat if one kid ate all theirs faster than another. We hated the people who gave out popcorn, apples, raisins, and the dreaded pennies.  I could get fruit year round at my house any day and was guilty of discarding a few of these unwanted apples in the neighbors front lawns My mom always enjoyed our haul and would pick out her favorite candy which I believe was a Mars Chocolate Candy bar.
 
Wesley and I have been trying to figure out what would be the best treats to give our trick or treaters in Epworth Forest from our Vacation Rentals Indiana Cabin that views Lake Webster.  In doing some research here are some top candy favorites
 
  • Mini Mounds Bar
  • Chunky
  • Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
  • Snickers
  • Milky Ways
  • M&M's
  • Three Musketeers
  • Butterfingers
  • Nestles Crunch
  • Candy Apples
  • Popcorn Balls
 
From the look of this candy list it doesn't look like much has changed in 40 years in regards to Halloween Favorites.  What is your favorite Halloween Candy or Halloween memory?
 

Halloween...Mr. Bones is excited about meeting our Indiana Lake Cabins Guest

Sunday, October 11, 2009 by Roxanne Turner


Today was a beautiful fall Indiana Autumn Day which inspired me to go downstairs for our Halloween decorations.  I love to decorate but time and money often prevents me from my full expression of this talent. So I head down to what we call the way back room.  It is full of junk, memory boxes, and seasonal home decor.  I see Mr. Bones, (our singing/talking skeleton) who has been a favorite for years for both family and trick or treaters.   We also heard today that one of my best friends, Cyndi and her fiancee Stephen will be joining us at our Northern Indiana Cabin Rental for Halloween  They have never been to our cabin in Epworth Forest in North Webster, Indiana or had the pleasure of crappie fishing Indiana on Lake Webster yet.  
I want to make sure they feel the cozy welcome that this Indiana Lake cabin can bring and enjoy the Halloween spirit.
So, we plan to add a few extra personal touches for their arrival and will probably bring Mr. Bones along for their pleasure and for any possible trick or treaters.   We can't wait to return to our personal cabin and make memories with dear friends amongst fall decor.

New Generations

Saturday, October 10, 2009 by Roxanne Turner

On each visit to our Vacation Rentals Indiana cabin we can't help but reflect on all the generations of family and guest who have come through these doors to create special moments and memories.  Currently, we have 2 family members and one close friend expecting babies.  Wesley will become "Papa Duke" again when his third grandchild arrives in March.  This will be his youngest daughter Jessica's first baby. My youngest niece Bridget is expecting her first baby so I will be Great Auntie R  again too:)  All of these Mothers to be have made special moments at our lakefront cabin rentals and two of them have shared memories at Lake Cabin Indiana "Take It Easy" with previous generations that came before them.  It is our hope that as these babies arrive and grow that they too will enjoy the beauty of this surrounding and hold it dear.


Gratitude is found in our Lakefront Cabin Rentals

Friday, October 9, 2009 by Roxanne Turner



"Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul"
 Henry Ward Beecher

This past September I captured a moment of Wesley giving gratitude for the gift of our Indiana Cabin Rentals Log Cabin.  He had no idea that I had captured this sweet moment on camera.   The peaceful surroundings of our cabin of wooded trees, the Lake Webster view and all the wild life gives you a serene sense of comfort.  His personal family ties and youthful history here in North Webster, IN opens up a flood gate of growing up memories.  He has shared many stories of his past youth of Crappie Fishing, hiking, family and friends

Having a grateful heart is transforming and should be a daily event. Living in the United States most of us have a standard of living many higher than two-thirds of the rest of the planet. Instead of focusing on what we do not or can not have it's good to bring your awareness around to the many things you do and begin practicing gratitude.

Wesley and I try not to save gratitude for just Thanksgiving but year round too.  Our Vacation Rentals Indiana cabin is the perfect place to spend Thanksgiving.  Check out our availability calendar for openings.
