Hi! We are Courtney and John, the owners of Wanderer's Rest. We are passionate about creating the perfect backdrop for your family memories. We love Winona Lake—from our morning walks to the Farmer's Market, afternoon runs on the trails, or evenings spent sipping wine and dining in the Village—and we want you to experience the best of it, too.
