About this cottage rental
This quiet lake front cottage built in 2021 located on Little Otter Lake in the Lake James Chain offers the best of both worlds. Little Otter Lake is great for fishing, kayaking and swimming. A fifteen minute boat ride through the Big Otter Lake channel connects you to skiing, tubing and more on Snow Lake, Lake James and Jimmerson Lake. A row boat is included in the rental, however you will need to provide your own speed boat or pontoon boat. Dock space is available upon request.
This single story, 800 square foot home, with 60 feet of lake frontage has all the amenities needed for a great vacation. The interior of the cottage is clean and inviting, with quartz counter-tops, stone fire place, hardwood heated floors and washer and dryer. There is one bedroom with a queen bed, one bathroom with walk-in shower, plenty of closet space and no steps. There is a 320 square foot deck overlooking Little Otter Lake that provides a great view with a retractable awning. Inside, the many windows allow for an outside feel with the comfort of the indoors. There is a private driveway with beautiful landscaping. This is a wonderful way to get away even during the fall and winter months.

We really enjoyed our stay at Little Otter Retreat. The cottage was spotless, comfortable, and very thoughtfully maintained. It had everything we needed, and it made for an easy and relaxing stay.The setting is beautiful and peaceful, and we especially loved watching the water and spotting turtles and fish. It was a nice reminder to slow down and appreciate the simple things. It also gave us a great opportunity to spend meaningful time with extended family nearby, which was a real gift for us.We felt truly blessed to be welcomed into the home. Everything was clean, well cared for, and exactly as described. Communication with hosts was 10/10. We’re grateful for the stay and hope to return.

Our stay at the Little Otter Retreat was a perfect time. We had a great time relaxing near the quiet lake, sightseeing in the area, shopping, dining out etc. This location has much to offer.The space was very clean. It was very well equipped with anything you would need. We made several meals here and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. Air Conditioning worked great. Great outdoor space to sit with a huge deck that includes plenty of seating, a grill and picnic table. The retractable awning was terrific to give extra shade.The property sits on Little Otter Lake which is a quiet lake. {Speed limit 10mph} but you are only a few minutes away by boat to the other recreational lakes if you want to ski, tube etc. It was just what we were looking for, quiet, relaxing and close to other activities. There are places on the lake you can get to by boat if you happen to bring one. We enjoyed boating for lunch to the Lake Shack on Snow Lake, Tom's Donuts on Jimmerson Lake, and The 6 on James, also on Jimmerson channel. Tammy and Dave are extremely hospitable. They checked in on us and made sure we understood how everything worked and if we needed anything. They were available for questions at any time. We really felt like we could just relax and enjoy our time and that if anything came up we'd be helped immediately. This is a great space for a couple.

Excellent host accommodation, beautiful like new home, directly lakefront. Clean with all amenities and easy access to main road. Provided pass to Pokagon State Park, just over a mile away'. 1200 acres of wooded trails, a saddle barn providing guided horseback rides, swimming area on Lake James. Very restful and relaxing. Huge selection of shops, stores, restaurants, just a short drive away. 6 miles to bison (buffalo) ranch on 400 acres with guided coach ride directly to the middle of herd. TV and Internet, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer. You would be hard pressed to find better accommodations and very helpful and pleasant hosts, Tammy and Dave.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Little Otter Retreat. Everything was clean and convenient. Sitting on the deck, looking out over the lake was so relaxing and peaceful. Dave and Tammy were wonderful hosts and made sure everything was perfect.
