Originally built in 1905 during a period when Lake Wawasee and the neighboring Lake Syracuse area were a remote resort, the Anchor Inn opened as a bed and breakfast in July 1986. With its fine oak woodwork, claw-foot bath tub, open stairway and high ceilings it is reminiscent of another era. Each guest room is individually decorated and has its own special atmosphere. Relax in the parlor beside the fireplace.
The large front porch, with its wooden swing and several high back rocking chairs, faces the tree-lined drive that offers a view of the neighboring golf course on one side and on the other a view of a cottage style garden and wooded property.

There are several things to do and to see while you are in the
Syracuse-Wawasee area, but the main attraction for most guests is a visit to
one of the glacier-shaped lakes. There are over 100 lakes in Kosciusko
County including Indiana's largest natural lake (Lake Wawasee) and deepest
(Lake Tippecanoe). Here you can enjoy skiing, boating, windsurfing, and
swimming. Try your luck at fishing for bass, northern pike or bluegill.
Several fishing tournaments are held each summer on Syracuse and Wawasee
Lakes, and national ski tournaments and ski shows are held on Lake
Camelot and Webster. Other attractions include: several antique shops, theatre in-the-round for live musicals and plays, a 3400 acre state game preserve where you can observe several variety of fowl and game in their natural habitat, free music concerts are held in three city parks on summer weekends. |

You may wish to visit five county museums including Billy Sunday's
home and Jail Museum - which served as the sheriff's home and county jail
from 1871 - 1982. Sunday morning church services are offered on the
shore of Lake Wawasee (boat-in-worship is sponsored by many of the local
congregations and has taken place each summer for the past 25 years). Indiana's oldest sternwheeler will tour you around Lake Webster or you can take a dinner cruise on Lake Wawasee. There are three 18-hole public golf courses within a 5 mile drive from Anchor Inn (South Shore Golf Course is just next door). Amish areas, weekly auctions and files markets are a favorite in the nearby towns of Nappanee and Shipshewana, and the University of Notre Dame is only a 1 hour drive. |
