Peaceful vacation

Great clean property. Window air conditioner with the use of fans did a great job keeping the place cool all week long. Sandy bottom beach was great for the grandkids and the evenings were peaceful sitting out around the fire.

This is second time we’ve stayed at this property on Lake James. It’s a quiet lake cottage with a great view. It’s right on water with no more than ten steps out the door to the dock. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets. Highly recommend!

ANTS!

Really nice neighbors and having own dock was great. Nice location. Outside receptacles were a plus to keep our boat batteries trickle charged. Nice that we had our own washer and dryer. Refrigerator was clean. The hosts were nice and did answer any questions. There were ants everywhere and they were huge! The house was surface clean. The carpet was stained and gross and looked like it hadn't been vacuumed or cleaned in quite some time, especially in the dining room. The furnishings were outdated and the cabin had a funny smell to it. My husband had to fix the blinds to be able to enjoy the view of the lake from our bedroom. Toilets didn't flush well and a couple times threatened to overflow. BBQ grill had food stuff stuck to grates. Instructions for the grill included if the propane was empty we could fill it 🤔. Tried to contact vrbo and got the runaround and they never contacted us back. We'll spend our money somewhere else next time

Lake James Family Reunion

We had a great stay! The property is located right on the water. It was great for my 2- 8 year olds to swim and play in the water. The house stayed cool throughout our stay. We will be coming back again because as parents it was great house for access to the lake and relaxation.

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Liz Auger

We moved to Indiana from England in 2001. We enjoy taking family vacations especially by a lake or the beach.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property because of the history in the area, the beautiful setting and the great location on the lake. This is the original home built on the property and has been lovingly maintained and updated throughout the years, so you get the sense of time standing still with the convenience of modern utilities.

What makes this property unique

The big trees and beautiful lake views make it a very peaceful spot. The awesome sunsets can be enjoyed both outdoors on the patio and indoors from the picture windows.
Although secluded and peaceful, there are also many amenities available for those days when you want to venture out to civilization...Angola and Pokagon State Park are 15 minutes away, downtown Fort Wayne is 45 minutes, and downtown Chicago is 2.5 hrs drive.
