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.

Our Little Otter Retreat is located 1 mile from Pokagon State Park which offers tobogganing, hiking, and cross-country skiing. A public access boat ramp is located 1 mile from the cottage. Two local wineries and one brewery are within 5 miles as well as a variety of local and chain restaurants.

The cottage has both shaded and sunny areas while the beach is firm and great for swimming. Little Otter lake is known for great fishing and Tri-State Bait and Tackle is only 0.2 miles away. Potawatomi Snowmobile trails with 35 miles of trails, are 7 miles away.

    Perfect getaway for a couple! Close to the water (we loved that you could only see water over the deck from living room area). Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, we enjoyed the sounds of Cranes, ducks and other birds all day long. Super clean! Hosts were over the top accommodating for us! Great cooking space, close to markets, stores and some awesome hiking trails at Pokagon State Park. Great value-very impressed. Didn’t even have to think of anything less than 5 stars!!!

    Little Otter Retreat was beautiful and very peaceful. It’s in a great location. Sitting outside on the big deck overlooking the lake was our favorite part. This place was the perfect size for two people and felt very clean and comfortable. Dave was very responsive and accommodating.

    The cabin has new features, clean, and extremely close to the water, which we loved. Having lake access and using their row boat and kayaks were a blast. The lake is small but has great charm and is connected to 5 different lakes. We loved visiting the Pokagon State Park and walking to the beach and hiking trails. Tom's Donuts was a pleasant stop for a quick snack. Dave and Tammy were outstanding hosts and extremely friendly and accommodating. Thank you for an amazing stay!
