About Jan
My husband & I are originally from Chicago. I spent my childhood coming to Laporte with my family and loving it. So when my hubby & I decided to buy a lake house I knew I wanted laporte. Then 5 years ago we had the opportunity to buy the cottage house next door and its been a labor of love rehabbing it. We now live in Laporte full time.
Jan purchased this cottage in 2012
Why Jan chose Indiana
My husband John & I were lucky enough to buy the cottage house next door 5 years ago. We gutted and remodeled it for family and friends to stay but we had so many people ask if they could rent it and I have now been an Innkeeper for 4 years and love it. I want our guests to arrive at the cottage and leave there everyday stresses. I tell them to make the cottage there own. I greet every guest and show them everything the house offers then we leave them alone. We are here if they need anything.
What makes this cottage unique
I always loved the cottage house it was built in 1915 and I knew when I remodeled it I would mix old with new. We found beautiful hardwood floors throughout a gorgeous fireplace. I put in hickory kitchen cabinets which look great with the pine floors in the kitchen. Then through in the sparkle of stainless steel appliances. So when I decorated I mixed my love of old with new. I am a treasure hunter so there are little touches all over the cottage that people see. I also have had repeat guests now and they noticed that I changed a few things since they were there last. When guests are fortunate to stay over the holidays they get to stay in a Christmas wonderland. I get the biggest kick out of guests when they want to buy something I have in the cottage it makes all my treasure hunting worthwhile.

Jan takes wonderful care of the cottage, and they really make you feel welcome.
Just a wonderful place to unwind. The moment you arrive, you feel the weight being lifted off your shoulders. It feels like home.
Pine Lake Cozy Cottage
Jan and John's cottage was cozy and just what we needed. It was very clean and everything we could have needed for our stay was there. The owner's were very friendly and helpful and welcoming. The cottage was beautifully decorated and the lake was right across the street. We had a great time just relaxing and going down to the lake for an evening stroll. Thank you for everything, and for the warm cookies. Jan and John your cottage and you are the greatest.
We loved the quaint little cottage but wished it was a little more private.
This cottage is CLEAN! She has everything you need (towels, washcloths, kitchens items, floats, etc). Owners live right next door and are very friendly and willing to suggest places to see and restaurants to try. We had a great girls weekend here and will most likely be coming back! Thanks Jan for an awesome weekend!!
The property is beautiful and exactly as the pictures show.
Jan and John were super helpful by giving us a tour of the property and telling us about all of the nearby attractions. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the location is great, close to several things. We were able to drive to Gary, IN to see the Michael Jackson family home and also to New Buffalo Beach on Lake Michigan. Pine lake is beautiful and can be seen right from the front of the house. We will definitely stay here again!
Wonderful stay
I stayed at the cottage for one night on a road trip west bound. It was very well decorated and immaculate. It exceeded my expectations and I would definitely stay there again in the future!
Perfect !
