Making waves, one cottage at A time

Beautiful homes, breathtaking views, new friends, and healthy lakes- what more could you ask for! Cottage Tours are a summer adventure, and this year, on September 7th, we opened the doors of 7 magnificent Winona Lake homes.

Attendees were also invited to participate in the ‘Art for Healthy Lakes’ auction, hosted by The Watershed Foundation. This year, bidding was available on 35 stunning works of art and one-of-a-kind experiences generously donated by local artists, makers, and businesses. Auction items were displayed throughout the homes, and guests admired the artwork while enjoying the beauty of the homes and Winona Lake. 

Between the gracious homeowners, passionate volunteers, enthusiastic participants, and generous sponsors, over 200 individuals and organizations made the Winona Lake Cottage Tour a huge success – raising over $20,500 to help The Watershed Foundation take action for healthy lakes.

Thank you for loving and celebrating our watershed with us! Mark your calendars for the 2027 Winona Lake Cottage Tour
