About the host

Hosted by Andy Deahl

Host profile image
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!
