About this property

Charming Lake James Getaway! Only 2 1/2 hours from Chicago and Indianapolis!

Enjoy this charming cottage on beautiful Lake James year round! The 4 bedroom, 2 -1/2 bath cottage sleeps 8 people comfortably. From the beautiful dock for coffee in the morning, to the sweeping views from the deck at sunset , or watching storms roll in from the cozy screened in porch, you will fall in love with our home. There are four bedrooms, one with a king bed, two with a queen bed and one with a full and a queen bed. For chilly mornings or evenings, curl up by the cozy gas fireplace. The galley kitchen is fully-equipped and includes a washer and a dryer. Whether you're enjoying a summer vacation with your family, attending Trine University football games or family weekends in the fall, or tobogganing or cross-country skiing at Pokagon State park in the winter, you will want to come back! In the summer there are pontoon boats available for rental for all of the lake's water activities as well as Lake James Golf Course and the very challenging Glendarin Hills Golf Course.

Beautiful Cottage!

Loved this cottage! The owners have thought of everything that would be needed in a lake cottage. Kitchen has more than you could need to use, comfy bedrooms, an abundance of tables/seating and fantastic lake views. The owner was very prompt when anything was needed prior or during our stay. An absolute gem on Lake James!

Exceptional Experience

This Lake home is simply beautiful. Three levels of amazing lake views. The home is decorated with a thoughtful lake upscale flair and the kitchen is well stocked with ANYTHING you could possibly need. The cookware, serving dishes and more are all upscale as well. The lower level spacious screened in patio is spectacular. There is a large dining table and a comfortable seating section. Even a flat screen TV. Ample room for a family to enjoy. From start to finish the vacation felt special due to this comfortable, beautiful lake home. Jenny was so kind and made the entire experience personal, simple and professional. Every detail of the home is prepared for a welcoming visit. We will definitely be back for another stay in this exceptional home.

Beautiful Cottage

This cottage is beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. A great gas grill out back. Beds were very comfortable. The deck and screen porch were wonderful places to enjoy outdoor space. Beach was sandy and the large dock with the amazing Adirondack chairs made it a great place to relax in the sun or watch the evening sunset. Jenny (host) was great and responded quickly to any questions.

Well dressed cottage situated in a great location on Lake James!

Cottage was charming with a well equipped kitchen! Decoarting was beautiful and we appreciated the fine quality bed linens. We had a bad weather week that kept us from experiencing the beautiful screened in porch, outside deck with a great view of the lake and the ample dock with platform to hang out near the water. We enjoyed several long hikes at the near by Pokogon State Park and visited a couple of the areas fine restaurants. Even though the weather was bad, we still enjoyed the warm & cozy cottage!!

Beautiful view

Jenny was very accommodating. She has a very beautiful home with a lot of seating on the decks to watch the great view. The grandchildren liked fishing off the end of the pier and the smaller ones swimming in the nice swimming area by the pier.

Good Family Gathering

Our 2 daughters & their families enjoyed our stay at Lake James. Everyone enjoyed swimming and playing in the water. The blue flotation chairs were a great hit with the adults and my son-in-law spent most of his time at the end of the pier catching fish. The kitchen is well stocked but small. We ate almost all of our meals at the cottage and enjoyed popcorn in the evening. The beds are comfortable. It was nice to have queen size beds for the adults. It was a great week.

This was the cutest cottage!

Cutest cottage! Loved the decore. It was beautiful and comfortable. Every bedroom was a little private oasis. The view from the family room was fabulous. We loved hanging out on the deck and down on the pier. The owners were great with communication and made sure our stay was wonderful. We will definitely be renting this gem again!
