From start to finish, our stay could not have been better. The owners are absolutely delightful and very attentive. The property is perfect! My husband, kids, and I played all day - on the rafts, row boat, kayak, and floating dock - and relaxed all evening sitting at the fire pit and watching the peaceful lake from the balcony. We simply didn't want to leave this amazing spot.

The Little Otter Retreat was great! We stayed here during a family reunion & enjoyed everyday! Weather was nice, lake was calm, & the amenities at the cottage were very useful. We enjoyed sitting by the lake, playing corn hole, seeing wild life inside the lake (turtles & fish were seen swimming), & a fire at night! We most definitely recommend & will stay here again! Thx for the memories!!

Our family enjoyed staying at this cozy,comfortable, and clean cottage on Little Otter Lake. We were a group ranging in ages from 20-84. Everyone appreciated the peaceful atmosphere of the lake and the view was lovely. The upper level deck and large windows allowed us to watch swans swimming by, boats cruising and beautiful clouds and sunsets. We swam, fished and kayaked to Snow Lake via the channels.. Everything we needed for a relaxing vacation was provided and we highly recommend this vrbo location. The owners are kind, considerate and quick to respond to questions.

Cozy, feels like home on the lake
Visiting family for Christmas, we enjoyed a cozy, relaxing stay. Close to Pokagon, shopping, Satek Winery, good food, and the highway. The owners had great hospitality and were very warm and welcoming. Loved sitting comfy wrapped in a blanket and slippers looking out the window at the lake drinking our morning coffee. Definitely a retreat for us.

Great setting and very comfortable.
We loved our stay here. Everything is cute and clean. It is nice being able to walk right out to the lake and the bonfire pit. Wood and roasting utensils are provided, which is very nice.
My favorite part is sitting on the upper deck outside the bedroom in the morning while the kids are still sleeping. The lake is so calm and peaceful. Then, when the sun is shining it is great to kayak and swim in the lake. The weed trimmer keeps the water looking beautiful and scenic.
There are also a lot of movies and games for inside activities.
We definitely want to return.

Cute, Cozy & Right on the Water!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! David & Tammy greeted us, showed us around and left us with some wine and chocolates - very welcoming. The cottage is clean, comfortable and cozy, especially for a couple looking for some peace and quiet. The things we liked most were the many turtles swimming within sight; the fire pit right on the water; the free wood; the new swim raft; the clean water; and the canoeing (we brought our own). The upper deck is nice for morning coffee; and the views from all points are lovely. Little Otter Retreat is just that - a wonderful retreat and a little piece of heaven! So obviously, we would highly recommend it for peaceful vacation. Thanks David & Tammy!

Great place and people at Little Otter Retreat
My husband and our two teen kids had a wonderful vacation filled with great memories thanks to Dave and Tammy sharing their Little Otter lake home with us. We enjoyed being right on the water and looking out the windows while eating. It was also a great place to sit back with some coffee and a book to unwind and relax. The fire pit by the lake with all the colorful, fun outdoor chairs to sit in was a hit. We also enjoyed playing croquet and corn hole, and are very thankful they shared those with us. Another great feature that we appreciated was being able to store the tubes and rafts in the garage in the evening and having our boat right out front. That was nice so we didn't have to worry about the water toys blowing away. The cottage was clean and inviting. We'd love to come back and were sad to leave. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to have a nice lake vacation. Dave and Tammy are great people to work with.
