About this house rental

Please come and enjoy all the comforts of home at our lakefront getaway! Our location is the perfect spot to watch all the action of the lake and still have peace and quiet when you want it. The interior of the home is comfortable and inviting to groups of people and large families and the cleaning crew makes it spotless between guests with extra precautions for COVID. Sleeps 12 in beds; 1 king, 1 queen, 1 full and 6 singles. We have a large, flat front yard for games with the family. Shallow area for swimming. Local pontoons are available for rent, which could be docked on pier. Directly across from Pokagon Beach and Pokagon State Park making the views from our screened in porch stunning for summer, fall leaves, and winter wonderland. Pokagon Park also has numerous things to do for families including horseback riding, trails to hike, fishing, and a beach. Several fast food as well as sit down restaurants and outlet malls are located nearby. We have cornhole boards or bags for your use. Washers boards will also be available for your family enjoyment. If you enjoy the sunshine of the day our large yard provides great entertainment and there are outside lights if that fun continues into the evening. Our screened in porch is a great way to be able to enjoy the the sun without being directly in it and the ceiling fans help cool you down if it is summer time. The screened in porch also protects you from mosquitos and other insects in the summer months that are sure to be around although we do spray once a year which is a huge help in that arena.
Rest and relaxation or water sports, yard games, and good ole lake fun, we have it all and it’s waiting for you and your family and friends.

We had an amazing trip here with our family! The hosts were very nice and responded to messages quickly. The dock was very sturdy and worked well for our boat that we rented from a local company. The swimming wasn’t as ideal as we thought with it being very deep and seaweed at the end of the dock, but the close sandbars made up for that! The kids caught a ton of fish! The screened in porch was wonderful! Highly highly recommend a wagon for going up and down the ramp with your supplies as it is very steep. Overall a great week!

Our stay from Aug 2 to 9 was awesome. We had lots of fun. The cottage was nice. It needs a little fixing, like the railing and stuff. It could have better lighting inside. From the road to cottage is definitely a steep ramp. But overall all everything was great.

The haul up/down the hill to the house was not expected. My advice is to bring a wagon for the haul. The kitchen appliances need updated. The freezer doesn't have an ice maker. The stove back burner wasn't working and the oven was marginal. Then we found out from the owner after we loaded the dishwasher that it doesn't work. I request a $400.00 inconvenience refund and received 250.00.We stayed during 90 degree heat and the AC works well. The view from the porch is beautiful! We spend a lot of time on the porch overlooking the lake. Once your at the house the front yard is flat as you head towards the lake. The dock is very nice. The house is fully stocked with everything you need, towels, toiletries and the kitchen had many spices, dishes, pans all the items needed for cooking. Washer and Dryer worked well. The house has APPLE TV and we could only find the connecting cord for one of the apple tv boxes. The owner said there were two but we could only use one APPLE TV BOX on just one TV. The trip overall was very nice. If the owner would update to new appliances I would give this rental a 5 star review.

There were 14 (10 adults and 4 kids), that stayed, and the House accommodated us well. The location on the lake is interesting with the narrowed link between basins for water activity watching. The sandbar out front worked well for swimming. The amenities are good and as others stated, the screened porch is a cool place to watch the lake and chill. Parking is excellent. Experiences with other rentals has been that we had to store trailers and park vehicles in other locations. We were able to park two boat trailers, a Jet Ski trailer and a utility trailer along with seven other vehicles at the house. The lake front and dock also accommodated two boats and two jet skis.

This is the first time we rented at the Lake James Retreat and we loved it! My family spends a week at the lake every summer and thoroughly enjoyed this property. Surrounding neighbors were so kind and inviting, the house and yard were extremely accommodating for yard games, family dinners and sleeping arrangements. Highly recommend!

The house was wonderful. It's in a great location on Lake James and in relation to Tom's Donuts/4-Corners. We docked our boat on the pier and were able to enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking in the cove. The house had everything we needed and we loved spending time on the screened in porch at night. The owners were super responsive to any questions we had and the neighbors were extremely friendly and helpful as well. Would love to come back to this house next Summer!

Incredible Family Week Vacation

Incredible Family Week Vacation

This property could not have been better! Our family of high school age kids and adults had a great week on the lake and enjoying the outdoor property. The house is neat and maintained very well and was spacious enough for our large family. We were able to enjoy the lake with the pontoon and jet ski we rented. The kids were able to play bean bags, whiffle ball and more on the spacious lawn. The neighbors are great and the owners were very responsive with any questions we had during our stay. Bonus that the pontoon is rented on the lake for easy pick up and return. Shopping is close for groceries and cute town shops for donuts, ice cream and more. Would definitely rent again.

Wonderful week with family!

Wonderful week with family!

We had such a great time at Chandra & Brad's lake home! They were kind, generous, and excellent communicators. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We truly felt like we were at "home" throughout the entire week. We rented a pontoon and spent a great deal of time out on the water. They allowed for us to use their two kayaks and two paddleboards, and we especially enjoyed those in the early morning! Plenty of yard activities (balls, cornhole, etc.) for the kids were available to us as well. The swim area around the pier is mucky & weedy, but if you have rafts to float on, then it is tolerable for a quick dip. The Lake James Sandbar was a fun alternative. The house is downhill and a bit of a distance from the road/driveway, so just keep that in mind when you are packing and planning to load/unload the car. On a positive note, it gave us plenty of exercise! We used mostly paper products and single drink bottles throughout the week so that we could spend more time having fun and less time washing dishes. This caused the single trash dumpster to fill up. One extra dumpster would have been helpful. I would also recommend that you bring your own television streaming devices and/or antenna so that you can use the many TV's available. Overall, we had a great time and hope to visit again someday:) We would definitely recommend Chandra & Brad's home for a week-long summer getaway!
