Quintessential Indiana Lake Cottage

The cottage was great for our purpose. The owners live just behind and above the cottage so they were available anytime we needed them. They brought us aluminum foil and s’mores sticks when we needed it. Very nice family owned properties.

Quaint and Peaceful, Light and Airy

We stayed in the cottage for a week. It was a quaint and wonderful space for our family. Light and airy bedrooms fit all of us and the amenities met all of our needs. We absolutely LOVED being right on Lake James. Waking up in the morning and seeing the serenity of the lake, the green grass and mature shade trees was good for the soul. Being able to just walk out to the pier and get right into the water was the best. Boating across the lake to Tom’s Donuts was a nice morning treat. A very memorable vacation. Would definitely do again.

A wonderful getaway!

This cozy cottage is the perfect place to spend some time with gorgeous lake views, waterfront access, and maybe even a boat ride or two. The homey feeling of an amazing staff can’t be beat! Would highly recommend to any groups looking for some family time along the water!

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 34 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!
