Who's ready for it? If you're ready to make a move mentally and want to get set for what you're going to do first why not book your spring visit to Lake Cottage Rentals Indiana for this spring?
Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Lady Slipper Orchids and Trillium's are Spring Ephemerals that begin to grow and bloom in late February through April then lie dormant in May or June. They won't last long so come and see them while you can. Take a walk and you'll run into them for sure or you may see them from your boat.
Many anglers are surprised to learn that Indiana cat fishing is some of the best in the world. In the early part of spring around May and June the catfish are searching for a place to spawn, which means they are also very hungry during this time. They will be incredibly active and in search of food. April through May are some months when Crappie Fishing Indiana is great because they are beginning to bite now that the waters have opened-up and are warming.

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.
When I was young my Dad and Mom took me to Haiti. I learned that this is a beautiful land and these are beautiful people like you and me. But you could stand in one spot and look in one direction and see beautiful palm trees, beaches, boats and oceans then turn your had a there was poverty, human waste in the streets, shantytowns and ugliness.
This country was a beautiful land back then with fishing just like ours. Granted it was different than Muskie Fishing Indiana, Bass Fishing Indiana, Crappie Fishing Indiana, Vacation Rentals Indiana but they love things like fishing, boats, water and goodness just like you and I do. They love their babies, their families their friends and even their shacks too.
Now Haiti's been hurt by the terrible tragedy of the earthquake. Now the ugliness has spread and brought with it more pain and suffering. They were finding happiness where they could then like you and me but now what little they had has been rocked. Right now these people need our help, not later, now!
If you know Epworth Forest, if you understand fishing, if you love your family, friends and acquaintances, then your spirit knows it's time to help them now. If you don't know the spirit of Take It Easy Cabin and our area, but you know compassion, then you know what I'm writing about.
Anyone who comes to our Cabin for spiritual healing, or fishing or whatever, we'll give what we can in your honor to Haiti relief. We'll donate 25% of whatever we get from rentals to Haiti from now 'til the end of FEB 2009. If you want a receipt, we'll give you one. We're doing the best we can and hope you are too. "Lighten up while you still can...take it easy."
Sincerely,
Duke & Roxanne, 317-625-2782
PS We are so blessed, and if you're reading this so are you, we have been touched and are trying to help, so let's take the time make a difference for those in so much pain. WDS
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."
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.
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.
This will be a special year at Epworth Forest. I don't recall ever visiting the Lake Webster Fishing area during Thanksgiving week. It should be great and, bonus, our friends the Fribley's will be at their Cabin Rental Indiana "Panorama" this week too.
We've had a very mild fall. Great for Muskie Fishing Indiana. Now it's time to prepare for our Winter Cabin Rental. We're spending 2 weekends with family at the cabin in December and then, another first, we have guests staying at Take It Easy Cabin on Christmas Eve. Happy Holidays everyone!
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.
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.
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?
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)
