This house on the bluff is full of cottage charm and is just steps away from the lake and beach! With a charming three seasons porch that has floor-to-ceiling windows, you have sweeping views of our gorgeous Petite Lake for morning coffee or an afternoon of relaxing. After a long day on the lake, head back to the cottage and end the night with a steam shower or hop in the hot tub overlooking the lake. The yard is fully fenced.

With five bedrooms*, two bathrooms, one spa room and a gorgeous sunroom that overlooks the lake, you will not be disappointed with the spectacular views and amenities. The large kitchen, island and dining room overlook the lake and have plenty of space for all.

Free paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, floating picnic table, water volleyball and floats are down on the beach, which is a short walk down a flight of stairs. They're available on a first come, first serve basis. The large rooftop deck, piers, beach, tree library, and herb garden for free for all guests, too!

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

THINGS TO NOTE:

*Please pay close attention to the sleeping arrangements as two bedrooms have sleeper sofas or can just be used as living room spaces.

*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!

*We aim to make the property more affordable for single families which is reflected in the base price. Extra guest fees may apply.

*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.

*This is a pet friendly unit with a fully fenced yard. Pet fee is $50/per pet. Maximum of two pets.

    We loved staying here! I wish we could have stayed longer than a weekend. We had two (small) issues. The pull out bed in one of the bedrooms was kind of falling apart (sunken in

    Went with my family of six and my sister in law family of four. There were 7 kids from 8 to 18 and there was plenty to do for everyone from the kayaks and canoe to the hot tub and the younger kids even swam in mid October the fire pits were a big hit also. The house and views were perfect. It was a very relaxing weekend needed by all. Thanks

    Our family stayed at the Bluff House with two babies. The stairs going upstairs were very narrow and the ceiling was very low. The floors were not good for babies to crawl on. The rooms with the couches were not very nice and had a hole in the wall. The sunroom and the kitchen were decent.

    We loved our time at the Bluff House! My husband and our teenagers and their friends had a wonderful weekend here. Adding the boat on was perfect for us. The house was amazing for our group and the deck area overlooking the lake in our backyard area was my husband’s and my favorite thing. Highly recommend!
