Not an ordinary lake home! Nestled in a quiet cove of Lake Jimmerson, this home has 100 feet of deck, 2 balconies, a dock, arcade, and a sauna. New as of Dec 2023! Large 6-person hot tub on the deck is exclusive to this home. Paddle boards and kayaks are INCLUDED and reserved for this home only. A short boat ride takes you to the heart of the lake action on Jimmerson/James. This is a perfect vacation home for your entire family, a multi-family gathering, or an office or troop retreat. The home is perfect for holiday celebrations too! It's at a great location in a popular lake area in Northern Indiana (Lake Jimmerson/James). Located right off of I-80/90, I-69, and between Chicago, Ohio, and Michigan. It is a 5-minute drive to Pokagon State Park for great hiking trails, beach access, horse-back riding, and a nature preserve. In the winter, the Park features the longest Tobaggun Run in the midwest, cross country skiing and snowshoe rentals when there is snow! The home is fully decorated for the holiday season from November to January. When you enter this 3700 sq foot home, you will first see the beautiful great room with floor to ceiling lake views.

If you have six or less people staying at this home, we do close off this room to reduce the amount of bedding our cleaners have to clean. Please message us if you have any questions about this.

On the deck is also plenty of seating for lounging, and chairs and tables for eating. A gas firepit is also on the deck available for you to use when relaxing on the lounge seating. There are steps from the deck going down to the main pier where you can dock your boat or use the paddle boards and kayaks. We provide life jackets located inside the home, and plenty of beach towels. There are numerous boat rental companies in the area that will bring a boat directly to our dock.
