Home in Goshen

Gra Roy House (Canal View) 9 beds • 7 bedrooms

Why is Gra Roy House special? Some say it's because the home borders the Millrace Canal on half an acre of quiet wooded land & because it's a 5-min walk to Goshen Hospital, Goshen College, Goshen Dam Pond & nature trails. Others note how welcomed them feel. Designed to bring family & friends together, the comfortable home masterfully presents its centerpiece: an inviting dining room where your group—large or small—can enjoy each other’s company over dinner (the table seats up to 12).

Private Entrance Guest Suite on the River

KristyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Maybe the best Airbnb attached to someone’s home that I’ve ever stayed in. Such a sweet set up. Very comfortable, clean, private. Thankful for the keurig for coffee and water bottles in the frig. My stay was short but very restful and waking up to have my morning coffee out on the deck and watch the river and the birds was the highlight of my stay. Mark was very good with communicating and gave clear instructions. The Airbnb was easy to find, even in the dark. Of course being attached to their home there was a bit of noise from the kids in the morning but that wasn’t until after 9am and didn’t bother me at all. I’d definitely stay again if I’m in the area!

We actually didn’t get to stay due to a family emergency, but the host was very understanding and supportive. I would recommend staying there even without seeing the place lol The instructions to get into the space were great and I can tell there would have been zero issues.

Haven of Rest By The River

HarryRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We are full time RV’ers and our RV had to go in for some repairs so we stayed at Cindy’s place while repaires were being completed. Cindy and John have a beautiful home next to the Elkhart River. Lots of mature trees on a large piece of property. They were both very friendly and we enjoyed visiting with them. We also enjoyed sitting on the front porch in those yellow porch chairs watching the birds at the bird feeders. Sleeping at night is very quiet and peaceful. This was a great place to stay.

country log home; A Hoosier Comfort Retreat 10+

BrianRating, 5 stars21 months ago

Marita’s house was perfect for our trip! We had 7 adults and 2 kids and the space was just what we needed. Lots of beds and space to spread out, but also space to be together. The pond was full of fish, there were tons of activities to do (kayaking, canoeing, playing in the sand, fishing, etc.), and the property was beautiful! We will definitely be back!

Lakefront home on beautiful Simonton Lake

AmyRating, 5 stars3 days ago

My family stayed for a week. I liked that the home was spacious and had many spaces to hang out. There is a living room, room to watch TV and a nice hang out area downstairs for kids or adults to play games. The outside area was perfect with a fire pit near the water and a deck with a table for six and a gas grill. We grilled most nights. The kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of plates, bowls, serving wear, grilling equipment, etc. We never lacked anything during the stay. The master bedroom is quite nice with a very comfortable king bed, view of the lake and small balcony with a good size connecting bathroom. Our host was very responsive with quick responses to any questions. The home had everything we needed for a family stay. We played a board game one night and rented a pontoon. We took the kayaks out daily and many days also took the canoe out. We would return again.
