About this property
Lakefront cottage on first basin of Lake James. Dock, sandy bottom, great sunset
This year-round, lakefront cottage is for rent on the lower basin of Lake James, one of Indiana's most beautiful sports lakes. The cottage has three bedrooms [two with full-sized beds and one with twin beds] and a living area at the lower level walkout that has a full-size pull out couch. The cottage sleeps a total of 8-10 adults. This cottage is fully furnished with a well-equipped kitchen, including microwave and blender. Each floor has a full bath with a washer and dryer on the lower level. The cottage also offers cable TV / DVD, high-speed internet and central air. A beautiful view of Lake James sunsets can be soaked in from the large deck across the front of the cottage. The cottage also includes an outdoor gas grill for barbecuing, a great lakeside yard for games and a fire pit. The natural, sandy lake bottom is great for swimming so bring all your water toys and floats. Private dock with boat tie-ups included. Ample parking available. Linens [bath/hand towels] and bedding included, bring your own beach towels.
Two cottages, Green and Blue, are typically rented by the week in the summer time, Sat 2pm to Sat 10am. We offer these cottages by the weekend in April and Sept if no weekly bookings. We also offer for rent a 22' pontoon boat to our guests!

About the host
Hosted by Andy Deahl
We all grew up in Angola Indiana which is where I attended Trine University for a BSME. After undergrad I chased a pretty blond to California, now 38 years married, but we always enjoy returning to Lake James multiple times a year for family, friends and fun. My brother, Jeff, lives in the home behind the 3 family cottages and he is the one who locally manages the units. Calendar is always at our website: Cottages of Lake James dot com.
Why they chose this property
We have been coming to the lake since my grandfather built the cottage to the south in 1949. My brother bought the "Blue Cottage" to the north in 2002 and so I bought the "Green Cottage" in between. Family also owns the house on the hill and most of the woods behind. This has been, and always will be, a great spot for family and friends to enjoy!
What makes this property unique
This is a nice cozy clean cottage. Thanks to Jeff's construction business it is always maintained in pristine condition. With mostly repeat tenants, you can expect the cottage to be clean and well equipped for your week of fun!
