1. Your name & where you host or will be hosting (Region/city and state/country is perfect—no need to share exact location).
COREY AND MICHELLE COOK - LAKE JAMES, IN.
2. Your place in a sentence or two. What makes it yours? (Age of the home, setting, story, or experience you’re creating)
WE OWN AND OPERATE COOKS COTTAGE ON LAKE JAMES - 4TH GEN LAKE COTTAGE ON THE SHORES OF LAKE JAMES (A PRISTINE, CRYSTAL CLEAR GLACIAL LAKE THAT IS ALL SPORTS AND HAS A STATE PARK ON ONE OF IT'S SHORELINES - POKAGON).
3. Owner-occupied or owner-operated? How hands-on are you with your guests and the space?
WE LIVE IN THE COTTAGE, BUT HAVE A SEPARATE ENTRANCE AND WILL HONOR OUR GUEST'S PRIVACY SO THEY MAY NEVER SEE US, BUT WE DO MEET A LOT OF OUR GUESTS WHO END UP BOOKING ONE OF OUR ADD ON EXPERIENCES.
4. How long you’ve been hosting? New, growing, or seasoned—all are welcome here.
WE'RE ENTERING OUR 5TH YEAR OF HOSTING IN 2026 AND ARE DEFINITELY SEASONED HOSTS. WE COACH MANY IN OUR AREA AND HELP THEM TO IMPROVE THEIR LISTINGS.
5. What part of the guest experience you care most about (Arrival, comfort, food, design, communication, privacy, moments of delight, etc.)
WE TRY TO PROVIDE EVERY POSSIBLE THING THAT A GUEST MAY WANT DURING THEIR STAY, FROM HIGH END KITCHEN APPLIANCES (VITA MIX, SOUS VIDE, LE CREUSET COOKWARE, SUPER COMFY LOVE SAC COUCHES & LUXURIOUS BEDDING, MOROCCAN OIL SHAMPOOS AND CONDITIONERS, A COMMERCIAL ESPRESSO MACHINE, AND BEAUTIFUL DESIGN THROUGHOUT THE HOME.
6. Do you offer any "experienced- based", optional add-ons that set your listing apart from others (cooking classes, private chef, barista, tours of the city, art classes, etc.)?
WE OFFER OPTIONAL COOKING CLASSES, CHEF'S TABLE DINNERS, COMPLIMENTARY BARISTA/LATTE SERVICE, AND HISTORICAL BOAT TOURS ON THE LAKE.
7. What you’re currently refining or questioning? One specific thing you want to improve or think more deeply about.
WE WANT TO ASSIST OTHER HOSTS WITH BUILDING THEIR DREAM JOBS AND ASSIST THEM IN THEIR JOURNEY!
8. What “unforgettable hospitality” means to you? There’s no right answer—this helps us understand your point of view.
RETURNING GUESTS YEAR AFTER YEAR... PROVIDING AN EXPERIENCE SO VALUABLE THAT YOUR GUESTS BOOK YEAR AFTER YEAR AND RETURN. https://cookscottage.co
