About this cottage rental

The Cozy Cottage sits atop the bluff overlooking Petite Lake. Full of cottage charm and gorgeous lake views, the cottage is just steps away from the beach. The comfortable living room provides plenty of seating for everyone to relax and enjoy after a long day in the lake. Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a small but mighty kitchen are equipped with all the essentials for a getaway.

The fully-fenced backyard overlooking the lake has a fire pit, grill, backyard games, picnic tables and hammocks. The hot tub is inside a covered gazebo. In the winter, it has thicker panels and in the summer it has netting. After a long day in the lake, camp out in the backyard with s'mores and a bonfire! You can bring your own firewood or purchase on site.

The comfortable living room is just off the the dining area. With 3 floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, the views of the lake are spectacular. This room has comfortable sofas and chairs that sit in front of a large flat-screen smart tv and electric fireplace. The French doors leading into this room can be closed and locked to create another private bedroom with a sleeper sofa, if desired.

We have a high-performance tritoon boat available for rental as well. Reach out for pricing and information, or visit our wesbite: TheCottagesOnPetiteLake.com/boat-rentals.

Things to note:
*This cottage was built in the 40s. It's a blend of old cottage charm and new amenities. The house was lovingly called the "Cozy Crooked Cottage" until it was leveled as much as possible. While the lower level is renewed and the house is safe, the upstairs is still a bit wonky, so be prepared!

*We are in nature. Expect spiders, webs, ants, bees, mosquitoes or other usual lake house critters. You'll see lots of chipmunks, squirrels and bunnies around and wake up to the birds chirping, too!

*This is a pet friendly cottage! There is a fee of $50/pet for up to two dogs. We do not allow cats.

*Please only bring friendly, well-behaved dogs as this is a resort and other people may be around. Dogs may not be left alone, especially outside, in common areas, or in the cottage. If left alone in the cottage, a crate is mandatory.

*Pets must be kept on a leash when outside and they are not allowed on the beach or in shared spaces, unless everyone in that space is okay with it. As much as we might love dogs, not everyone does. Please be considerate of those with allergies or fears.

*Pick up after your pet every single time. Poop bags provided!

*The beach is accessed by a large set of outdoor stairs- about 35. See photos for reference.

*There are security cameras on the parking lot, beach and piers for safety and rental boat purposes. No cameras are on/in any of the rental units or outdoor yard spaces.

*The pier is made up of floating docks and can be wobbly when the lake is busy. The lake is very busy on the weekends and more calm on weekdays.

*The price is on a sliding scale. The base price is aimed to make the cottage more affordable for single families. There is a $10/night fee for guests beyond 7 to cover additional laundry, supplies, etc. We provide plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, cleaning supplies, beach towels, coffee (standard and k-cups), and all the kitchen essentials.

*There is a filtered water pitcher in the fridge. We recommend that you bring ice!

The cabin for perfect! We had a beautiful lake view with fire pit, hot tub , and outdoor seating. The interior was clean and spacious with all the amenities we needed.

Great location but the home is in need of some structural repair. Very small bedrooms and there are animals living in the attic for sure. You can hear them running around all night and early morning. Beautiful living room and nice hot tub. If you just want a great location for the lake this place works but if you’re looking for comfort and solid sleep may not be the best.
