About this property

Updated Jimmerson Lake / Lake James Chain Home w/ Dock - May & June Discounted

Now booking for Spring, Summer, and Fall 2024. May and June rates have been discounted. See rate calendar for details.

Remodeled Jimmerson Lake cottage perfect for families. 2,000 square foot, 3 bedroom + den, 2.5 bath home on large 1/2 acre lot with fully stocked kitchen. Nice lake views with two dock spaces to access Jimmerson Lake and the entire 2,000 acre Lake James chain. Lovingly maintained and super clean. Great location for visiting Angola, Pokagon State Park, and Trine University. Walking distance to the restaurants and bars in 'downtown Lake James', but far enough that it is quiet and private. High speed internet / wi-fi and streaming TV included.

Book for a week or more and receive 5% off the nightly rates! Discount is automatically applied in the VRBO reservation rate calculator.

Friday is the changeover day in the summer. All rentals must start on Friday unless pre-approved.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Channel front home with dock on Jimmerson Lake (part of the 2,000+ acre all sports Lake James chain). Just a few houses from the main part of Jimmerson Lake.
2,000 square foot single family home , recently remodeled.
3 bedrooms (king, queen, queen + twin) and den (queen pullout) comfortably sleep up to 9 with first floor master.
Fully stocked kitchen, 2.5 baths, washer and dryer.
High speed Wi-Fi throughout the house. Amazon Fire TV in living room and Roku in den so you can stream any service you subscribe to.
Nice views of Jimmerson Lake from full-length deck with 6 seat patio table, gas and charcoal grills, and Adirondack chairs.
Channel was recently dredged providing easy, deep (5 - 6 ft.), and wide (45 ft.) access. 2 dock spaces available that will accommodate most any type of boat.
1/2 acre nicely landscaped yard with patio, firepit, a second patio table, large flat grassy area. No neighbors on one side provides privacy.
Walking distance to "downtown Lake James" with its bars and restaurants (Tom's Donuts, Acapulco Mexican,, Brewskies Bar, Waterfront Bistro, Club Paradise). But its far enough away that it is quiet and relaxing.

AMENITIES:
Well-stocked remodeled kitchen with quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and all the cooking and dining utensils you should need (settings for 12 people). We supply bed linens and bath towels. You will need to provide beach towels. Whole house high speed Wi-Fi, two HDTVs (55" and 40") with streaming and DVD players, high quality smart speaker with Bluetooth. Washer and dryer are provided on site. Central A/C and heat. Driveway provides off-street parking for at least 4 vehicles and room for your boat trailer.

SLEEPING:
Comfortably sleeps 9. The master bedroom is on the main floor and features a king bed and attached remodeled master bath with large soaker tub and separate shower. There are two large bedrooms upstairs – one with a queen bed and attached full bath and one with a queen and a twin bed. There is also a relatively private den with a queen size pullout sofa.

LAKE:
Located on a recently dredged channel only three homes from the main part of Jimmerson Lake and a 5 minute boat ride to Lake James. After dredging, the channel is now 45 feet wide and 5 - 6 feet deep. You'll have two dock spaces to accommodate most any type of boat - feel free to ask if you have questions about your boat. If you don't have your own, you can rent pontoons or fishing boats down the street at 'Corner Landing'. As part of the all sports Lake James chain, you have access to over 2,000 acres of water on 5 lakes: Lake James, Jimmerson Lake, Snow Lake, Big Otter Lake, and Little Otter Lake. The Lake James chain offers great swimming at several sandy public beaches and sand bars.

YARD:
Unique for a lake house, the large, flat 1/2 acre lot gives you plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors with a family cookout, bonfire, or lawn games. The house has a large deck, big level grassy area, two sets of tables and chairs, a gas and a charcoal grill, and a fire pit. Wildlife frequent the area including heron, swans, ducks, turtles, and deer.

LOCATION:
The location is quiet but still very convenient – just a few minutes from I-69 or the Indiana toll road and walking distance to downtown Lake James with its restaurants and bars (Tom’s Donuts, Acapulco Mexican Grill, Club Paradise). It’s also just a few miles from Indiana’s best state park, Pokagon, which features beaches, hiking, and a toboggan run in the winter. Also nearby is the town of Angola with its cute downtown square, ice cream shops, mini-golf, Trine University, Fremont outlet mall, Satek Winery, Wild Winds Buffalo Preserve, and golf courses including Glendarin Hills, Zollner, and Lake James.

OUR GOAL:
Our goal is to do everything we can to ensure you have a great vacation. We provide a folder with our recommendations for local activities and dining to get you started and we're happy to answer any further questions. Just call or email. Thanks for looking!

Great place to vacation
This was our third stay at this property. We love the spaciousness and cleanliness of the house along with all the amenities the owner provides. The new carpet and updated kitchen cabinets were a nice touch this summer. Also a great location on the lake and a nice yard for games when we weren't on the water. Hope to be back for future stays!

Great location
We’ve stayed in this area for 5 years now. The other property was sold so we found this one. It’s down the street from our old one and we love the area. The house was wonderful, clean and a perfect size for our family. Tina was timely in replying to any questions I had. We will definitely be coming back here to stay.

Very Enjoyable Stay
The home was very clean and comfortable. Nice having the boat dock only steps from the back door. Very quiet location with easy access to Lake Jimmerson and Lake James. Corner Landing Bait & Tackle/Boat Rental and restaurants conveniently located nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Smith

Host profile image
We live in Milwaukee now, but grew up in Chicago (Erik) and Northwest Ohio (Tina). So when we were looking for a location for a vacation home, Angola was the perfect spot - 3 hours from Chicago and right next to family in Northwest Ohio. Oh, and there just so happens to be a wonderful lake right in the backyard!!!

Why they chose this property

When we're at the home, a typical day goes like this:
Get up and take a short walk to Tom's Donuts for some of the best donuts you'll ever taste.
Take the boat out for a quick spin - maybe tube a little.
Back home for lunch and to pack up for an afternoon on the lake.
Head to a sand bar on Lake James or Jimmerson Lake where we let our 11 year old daughter splash around while we hang out with friends and family.
Back home to clean up and then off to dinner at a local restaurant or perhaps just stay home and grill something on the charcoal grill.
Finish the day with a bonfire or movie.
