Scout’s Haven and the surrounding 15-acre property are a celebration of the architecture, nature, and way of life that Northern Indiana is known for. And though rustic in style, the cabin was built with today's modern conveniences - including an EV charger and environmentally friendly geothermal heating - for those who crave countryside charm that also effuses luxury.

Inside the home’s main living area boasts an open layout with kitchen, dining, and gathering area seamlessly blended into one entertaining space. The kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and custom stonework, and the dining and seating areas are anchored by a large stone fireplace and floor to ceiling windows showcasing the beautiful property outdoors.

Five bedrooms, one being the main ensuite with private bath and deck, and 2 additional full baths are lushly styled for luxury and comfort plus the family room has a sleeper sofa offering great accommodation flexibility for any group configuration.

When it comes to fun Scout’s Haven is stocked with DVDs, games, ping pong, a croquet set and volleyball. The downstairs TV is set up with a Wii system and there are Bluetooth speakers on property for guest use. Backyard entertainment features truly are epic here too, with a pool, spa, stocked 1-acre fishing pond, fire pit, hammocks, an oversized patio with seating and dining furniture, and huge barn that guests have access to.

Scout’s Haven is the ideal location for a reunion of friends or family! Located 70 miles from the Chicago loop we are far enough away to truly disconnect but still close to many wonderful area attractions. Notre Dame is only 20 minutes to the east for football and parent weekends, and the beautiful beach town of Union Pier is 20 miles to the west. Three Oaks, Michigan and its art galleries, shopping, and an independent movie theater is a beautiful 6-mile drive north along a winding country road. Hesston Steam Museum, Four Winds Casino, and picking orchards are nearby, too. We have bicycles available for use or bring your own to enjoy the rolling countryside and join some of the local bike groups that ride the area. And for those who would like to hit the links, there are several golf courses within minutes of the property.

Situated in the picturesque countryside of Indiana, Rolling Prairie offers a blend of activities that cater to both outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking a taste of small-town charm. Explore local parks and nature trails for hiking, birdwatching, and picnicking. Places like Creek Ridge County Park and Prairie Wolf Park offer serene natural settings ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can immerse themselves in history at the La Porte County Historical Society Museum, which boasts an impressive collection and engaging exhibits. Discover local art galleries and studios showcasing paintings, sculptures, and crafts by regional artists. These venues offer a glimpse into the creative spirit and artistic talent of the community. For those seeking a more hands-on experience, workshops like candle-making and painting classes offer a chance to create and learn. Seasonal festivities, such as the Blooming Spring Fest and Summer Fun Fest, bring the community together with music, food, and crafts. Whether it's exploring local events or enjoying a workshop, Rolling Prairie provides a delightful mix of educational and entertaining pursuits for all ages.

Juniper’s place was fantastic. We had a wonderful family get together and the pool, hot tub and expansive private surroundings made it perfect for the weekend getaway. The house has everything we needed. The host Liz was so quick to respond and provided everything we needed. We would love to come back!

Our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers) and dog loved our relaxing stay at this beautiful country house. We spent time every day in the beautiful pool and the fabulous hot tub. Lots of great outdoor spaces to eat and relax and lots of land for our dog to run around so she was living her best life. We also ventured into Three Oaks and Warren Dunes State Parks in MI, which were both a short drive away. House was well equipped with everything we needed, check-in instructions were easy to follow, and we appreciated having some amenities provided (paper towels, garbage bags, dish detergent, etc.) Perfect for a short stay to rest and recharge in a beautiful and spacious home.

The property is very beautiful and we loved the privacy and pool! It was a very peaceful and relaxing time for our family of 7 members of all ages. There was something for all to do and enjoy. The fishing, pool or just relaxing on the patio were great.

We stayed over the Memorial Day weekend with two families (4 adults, 4 kids) and 2 dogs. It was perfect!! The pool, hot tub spa, pond, firepit, well-stocked kitchen, clean bathrooms and comfy beds were all just fantastic. We all left feeling very recharged and our dogs were in heaven the entire time. We had a couple minor questions and Juniper was always quick to answer and even gave us an opportunity to stay later on our checkout day with a reasonable incremental cost. We cannot wait to go back!

Cute & clean log cabin farm house with a great pool and jacuzzi. Huge lawn and a pond if you like fishing. The pool has comfy loungers, several umbrellas and a great automatic cover. There is a large outdoor sectional and an outdoor dining table for 8. The barn cat is adorable! When we had a few questions, the property manager was super responsive! Quiet area - secluded with lots of land and trees. Stocked with everything you need for a beautiful getaway about 1.5 hours from Chicago. Highly recommend!!

There was a miscommunication in the beginning of our stay; however, Juniper and the owner collaborated to still provide us with an enjoyable experience. The house was beautiful and you can tell that time and love were put into this house. Though it rained throughout our weekend getaway, there were many things you can do inside the home (i.e., ping pong table, board games, etc.). Don’t get me started with the kitchen! Such a treat to be cooking in that kitchen, not only is it gorgeous, but it is also well stocked with things you need for cooking. All the rooms including the basement is so cozy and again, included all the things you need! Our dog especially enjoyed playing fetch and roaming the land. A beautiful getaway that brought relaxation and peace. Will definitely visit again and hopefully during the summer time!
