The Hideaway
at Cooper Lake
Nestled on the south end of our property is The Hideaway at Cooper Lake -- Northwest Indiana's elevated camping experience!
A private, winding lane leads you to Cooper Lake, our family owned and operated property designed for children and adults, alike. “Unplug” during your stay – but do so with many of the comforts of a traditional hotel!
Incorporate The Hideaway into your event -- or book one of our sites for a relaxing getaway!
Cooper Farm Floral
In addition to operating as an event venue, Cooper Farm is proud to offer a wide variety of native flowers, perennials, wild grasses, and more!
Our History
Cooper Farm, purchased in 1954 by Dr. Leo K. Cooper, is located in the historic community of Otis, Indiana – once an important station for American Civil War soldiers. When our family took ownership, Cooper Farm was the largest singularly owned piece of land between Chicago and South Bend, IN. The sprawling, historic barn erected in 1880 stands tall today with artful renovations and lighting by the grandchildren of Dr. Cooper.
Seventy years and four generations later,
The Woodlands at Cooper Farm was born.
