About this property
Perfect for Families! Lake James Home, Huge Lakeside Yard, Private Dock, & More!
Welcome to The Lake James Retreat — your perfect family-friendly lakefront getaway!
Relax and enjoy all the comforts of home at our spacious, welcoming property — perfectly located to enjoy the action of the lake while still offering peace and quiet when you want it.
Our home comfortably sleeps 12 guests in beds: 1 king, 1 queen, 1 full, and 6 twin beds — ideal for large families or groups. The interior is cozy, clean, and designed for gathering, and our professional cleaning crew ensures the home is spotless between guests, following enhanced COVID precautions.
The large, flat front yard is perfect for family games, while the shallow waterfront area is great for safe swimming. We are directly across from Pokagon Beach and Pokagon State Park, offering stunning views year-round — from summer sunsets and vibrant fall colors to a true winter wonderland.
Love the outdoors? Pokagon State Park features horseback riding, hiking trails, fishing, and a beach — all just steps away! Local pontoon rentals are available and can be conveniently docked at our private pier.
Our screened-in porch is a guest favorite — relax with a breeze from the ceiling fans, stay protected from bugs, and soak in the beautiful lake views. Whether it’s sunshine or a cool evening under the outdoor lights, our yard and porch are perfect for gathering.
For family fun, we provide cornhole and washer boards, plus plenty of open space for outdoor play. Nearby, you’ll find a variety of restaurants, fast food options, and outlet shopping.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape or a fun-filled lake adventure, The Lake James Retreat is ready to welcome you, your family, and your friends!

About the host
Hosted by Chandra Snyder
Hi, we’re the Snyder Family!
We’re based in Fort Wayne and blended our family in 2017. Brad, originally from Ohio (Go Buckeyes!), has two college sophomores — one at Ball State and one at Purdue — as well as a freshman at Carroll High School. Chandra, originally from Southern Illinois, has a daughter who is a senior at Leo High School.
We love hosting our lake home on VRBO because we want to share the many years of wonderful memories we’ve made here. With our busy schedules, we don’t get to enjoy the house as much as we used to — and we’re excited to offer it to other families looking to make their own lake memories.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its unbeatable location!
Our home is tucked away on a quiet dead-end street with no through traffic — perfect for families looking for peace and safety. There’s plenty of parking behind the house, and a large, flat front yard that’s perfect for games and gatherings.
Boat traffic stays well away from the shoreline in front of our property, making it safe for swimming and playing in the water. Plus, we’re surrounded by wonderful neighbors and enjoy stunning views all year round!

What makes this property unique
Our property is truly special because of the expansive front yard — a rare find on the lake!
The long, open yard offers plenty of space for family games, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors. Boat traffic stays far enough out to keep the waterfront safe for swimming and playing. Located in a peaceful, quiet, and safe neighborhood, our home also offers plenty of convenient parking for guests.
