When you need a break from life, what immediately comes to your mind? A relaxing trip to the beach, or maybe a thrill-filled trip to an amusement park? If you need to get away from it all, seek out Beside Still Waters, a peaceful retreat in the wilds of Indiana. Built in the 1850s, this tulip poplar cabin has stood the test of time. 

Located in Spencerville, just 25 minutes from downtown Fort Wayne, this scenic retreat sits right next to a private 8-acre pond. It offers a great opportunity to spend time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
