the hostesses were beyond friendly and the home is beautiful. we enjoyed are stay very much we had just enough room and being able to swim off the dock was a big plus.
The property was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. there was plenty of room for our family. We enjoyed the use of the boat and kayaks. Hostess was easy to work with and very responsive. Great experience overall.
Everything about this property is as nice as it was described in the listing. Owners were great at communicating and answering questions. This is a clean and well maintained property. We brought a couple boats with us and enjoyed many hours in the boat and also swimming off the dock. We shared the place as a large extended family and very much enjoyed our time here. Would love to stay here again, hopefully next summer.
The house and pontoon was perfect. The house was beautiful and in a perfect location. It was very close to the sand bar by boat which we enjoyed. Also we were able to walk or drive to the state park to enjoy the trails.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The owners were very nice and responsive and the home had everything we needed and more. We had so much fun trying paddle boards, kayaks, and taking the pontoon out for a few rides. We highly recommend this home!
This lake house was huge with plenty of space for everyone. The location was secluded and right next to a beautiful state park along with a short drive to restaurants and downtown. The owners were extremely nice and communicated well. They were also very flexible. We will 100% VRBO here again.
Perfect location, great house, wonderful view of the lake
The property was very clean, house had plenty of space and room to sleep for our four families and kids. Kitchen was well stocked, had everything we needed. Owners were easy to communicate with. Location is right around the corner from the sand bar and the views of the lake were amazing and very relaxing. Would definitely rent this property again!
The location was perfect for the eight of us, the house was immaculate, and the owner was easily acccesible. We especially enjoyed the wildlife and the wonderful fire pit. We are already talking about a return trip.
We had a great experience with this rental. The house has a beautiful lake view, nice front yard, plenty of space, and dock access for boating. The owner was very communicative even though not much was needed with everything ready to go. Having used several VRBO rentals and other properties on Lake James, I would highly recommend this property.
The house is in a perfect location. Right near Pokagon State Park. Near the lodge, where more family stayed. We were able to celebrate birthdays on Saturday and Easter on Sunday.
Plenty of beds for our crew.
Perfect location to celebrate graduation from Trine. This is our third time renting the house. Some family stayed at Pokagon and the rest at the house. Enjoyed a barbecue and hanging out with the family.
Wonderful experience with Laura from reserving to departing. The home is in an excellent location- close to Trine University and all Angola has to offer. We spent most of our time at our home away from home:). The views are stunning. The layout of the home is conducive for family gatherings and space for kids to escape to as well. Would highly recommend this home. We can’t wait to come back.

Beautiful home on wonderful Lake James
My family and I recently travels to Lake James for a family get together and had the pleasure of staying at this lovely home right on the lakefront. The home was clean, spacious and comfortable with more than enough space for our five person group. The homeowner was very responsive to questions posed prior to our arrival. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to stay at the lake and hope to return myself in the future.

Absolutely the nicest and cleanest place we’ve been!
We cannot wait to come back! This home and accommodations were more than we expected. So beautiful, so safe and quiet, loved watching the boats and watercrafts all throughout the day. The views from each room are exactly what vacation should be, unforgettable. Breakfast outside, fishing, boating and paddle boarding were some of our best times and then topping off the great day with roasting marshmallows at the fire pit each evening! We are not saying goodbye easily, we miss this home and lake already and are making plans to return! Thank you to the owners for making it everything amazing, but most of all for your priceless hospitality!!!!!!!

Beautiful setting on Lake James within walking distance to Pokagon State Park.
We stayed here for a winter weekend getaway with 3 other couples. The house is a great size with a beautiful view. It is within walking distance to Pokagon State Park. We spent a day in the park cross country skiing, hiking and, of course, heading down the toboggan run a couple of times! We had dinner at the house one night and then out in Angola another. Our hosts could not have been nicer. They are very conscientious and you can tell by the condition and cleanliness of the home. We highly recommend this rental and plan on returning.
We had a great trip with our family of 5 and 2 four year olds. The house and location were fantastic. Plenty of room at the house for everyone to get together and also have time to themselves. A bathroom and shower on each floor was perfect. The kids loved swimming all day next to the dock while we fished from the dock. We enjoyed going on a few pontoon boat rides looking at the beautiful lake and area. A plus was the close proximity to Pokagon state park entrance. We hiked and the kids played at the playground and the nature center was a bonus. Happy 4 year olds happy adults. Looking forward to 2024 with a larger group !! The lake house is very spacious.
Family reunion with four teens and seven adults. Plenty of room to spend time together but also have time to oneself. Kitchen was very enjoyable to use: centrally located and great views of lake while cooking. We had a great time fishing, playing bean bag toss, paddling kayaks, swimming, and sitting around the campfire at night. We had just enough chairs for the 11 of us. Lake was unusually clear, so very nice for swimming. Just down the shore is a beach with a larger swim area. Stores are just 10 minutes away: Meijer, Wal-Mart, Menards, etc. Location is very close to highway and easy to find. Note: there are many stairs to get down to the house from parking and from the house to the beach (1 full flight each). Parking for 5 vehicles. Great communication with owners. Clean, beautiful space. Would definitely come back again.
