Enjoy fall colors for a relaxing weekend at the Lake!

Single story cottage located directly on Jimmerson Lake with pier and small sandy beach area. Originally built in the 1950's by owner's grandparents, the home has been charmingly re-decorated and has a large deck with excellent sunset views. Jimmerson Lake is a 203 acre lake that is popular for fishing and is also open to skiers. The cottage is located on a large cove of the lake with less ski boat traffic making it easier to float or swim. Take your boat and access all the lakes on the Lake James chain including Jimmerson Lake, Lake James (1,039 acres), Snow Lake (421 acres), Big Otter Lake and Little Otter Lake.
The cottage is the perfect relaxing retreat for a family or avid fishermen who plan to spend most of their time outdoors and on the lake. Peace and quiet during the Fall and Spring is a fantastic time to visit and get away from the hustle and bustle! Take time to unwind! The cottage has a small but functional kitchen with stove, sink and refrigerator with a large round table that seats 8. Standard kitchen items included. Three bedrooms (2 with closet space) are charming with plenty of windows to let the breeze blow through. Two of the bedrooms offer lake views. Additional sleeping is available with a sofa sleeper bed. The single bathroom offers a remodeled feel with a shower only - no tub.
Spend your days on the lake: boating, swimming, and fishing then spend your evenings playing yard games in the adjacent shaded lot or relaxing with the sunset views from the deck. Plenty of private lakefront footage includes a seawall with sandy walk in access area. Water stays around knee high for 15 feet from seawall perfect for children and allows easy access for kayaks/canoe. Adjacent lot offers ample parking space as well as room to set up badminton, croquet, corn hole or toss a ball. In addition bring some firewood for the fire pit located on adjacent lots.
This excellent location on the lake is located within a 1/2 mile of a well maintained free conservation public boat access. In addition, the cottage is near Pokagon State Park, and Trine conservation area for hiking and biking, Tom's Donuts and several excellent local restaurants. If you prefer to fish, you can access through channels Big Otter Lake and Little Otter Lake which are non-ski lakes. Fishermen may find largemouth bass, brook trout, brown trout, bluegill, and flathead catfish as well as Northern Pike, Walleye, and Crappie throughout the chain of lakes.
Home Owners are sharing their 2 kayaks, canoe and rowboat. The cottage also comes with beach style chairs, lawn chairs and plenty of seating on the deck.
The cottage does have wifi. There is room on the pier so if guests choose, boats may be rented from The Corner Landing or guests may bring their own boat. Free lake boat access less than a mile away.

Lake Fishing and fun
Great property on lake front with beach and boat/fishing dock. We all loved the fishing, camp fire at night and picnics on the deck that overlooked the lake. The house was super clean. Great stay overall. Would definitely come again!

Cozy cottage on the lake
We visited northern Indiana to explore Pokagon State Park and ride down the toboggan sled and it was so much fun. We enjoyed staying at Kathy’s cottage. It was clean and cozy with a nice view of the lake. We loved playing games around the table ( especially the game pit) as we hadn’t played that game since we were youngsters. Our second night was movie night with popcorn. It was a great winter getaway.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay with our little girl! What a relaxing and peaceful place to getaway. :) We loved being able to bring our boat and explore the beautiful lake. :) Loved that it was so close to Pokagan and the home was so welcoming with everything needed and more. :) Would love to stay again!

Exactly what we wanted
Was a nice place where we could doc the boat, have access to the lake, get right off the boat and be back at the cottage! The yard was bigger than expected and you can have a decent size fire! Back patio was nice to hang out on and play board games as well!

A great week!
This home is very well kept, nicely decorated, and very cozy. It is smallish, with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, but the open living room and kitchen did not feel crowded with our visiting family of up to 12 at times. The deck is great, and 2 kayaks, a row boat and canoe kept us active, as well as a very large area on the hill for croquet, corn hole, a nice fire area and extra parking. Would happily return!

Perfect little cottage!
We had such an amazing time at the cottage! The house is equipped with absolutely anything and everything you need during your stay! We had plenty of room on the dock for our bass boat and pontoon! The beach area is perfect for the littles and something most properties don’t have! The lot in which you can park is plenty big enough to accommodate for vehicles and boat trailers! Kathy was the absolute best host! It doesn’t get any better than this! ❤️

Wonderful Lakefront Stay
My family and I had a wonderful 3 night stay at this adorable cottage. The treat bag was very welcoming and much appreciated! The waterfront view was beautiful, our three boys loved the big yard to play catch, and the fire pit was perfect for late night s’mores! The deck, beach area and boats would be awesome to have in the warmer weather. Thankfully, there were lots of games, coloring books/crayons and toys to keep the kids busy when we were hanging out inside. My kids also loved discovering all of the little knickknacks around the cottage. So fun! They absolutely loved being there! Kitchen and bath was stocked with plenty of necessities. It was a short drive away from plenty of restaurants, Pokagon, and Trine State Rec Area. This was a fantastic fall break getaway, and we hope to be back in the future!
