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!
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 canât be beat! Would highly recommend to any groups looking for some family time along the water!
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 sâmores sticks when we needed it. Very nice family owned properties.
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 Tomâs Donuts was a nice morning treat. A very memorable vacation. Would definitely do again.
House was very clean and very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of sleeping space for all. We enjoyed our trip.Host was very nice and easy to contact.Lake was amazingly clear and we had a beautiful view. Weather was colder than expected so we did not get to spend as much time in the water. Would definately rent again especially on Lake James.
It was awesome! Just what we were looking for. Right on the lake. Great views!
Our experience renting this property was great! No problems or issues. Cute place! Great views! Perfect for our little birthday getaway! We all enjoyed our time here!
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.
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!
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!
