Welcome to the newly remodeled Blue Jay Cottage, where modern style meets the timeless charm of a Michigan summer. Thoughtfully designed for families who value connection, this lakefront retreat is the perfect setting for your next family milestone or a well-earned escape with your children and grandchildren.

Morning Coffee and Quiet Connections
Start your day in the sun-drenched morning room, curled up on the new sofa with a coffee as the sun rises over Otsego Lake.

For the Little Ones: We’ve fully stocked the sunroom with books, coloring supplies, and markers to keep busy hands happy while the adults enjoy a slow morning.

Game Night Ready: With dedicated tables for card games like Hearts or 1,000-piece puzzles, there’s a spot for every generation to join the fun.

Cozy Evenings: Our stylish living room is made for storytelling and movie nights after a day in the sun.

The Heart of the Home: Kitchen and Dining
We know the best memories are made around the table. Our open-concept kitchen ensures the cook is always part of the conversation.

Fully Equipped: From a crockpot for easy family dinners to a blender for lakeside smoothies, we’ve thought of everything.

Kid-Friendly Touches: We provide children’s dishes and insulated glasses to keep everyone’s drinks cold and spill-free.

Room for Everyone: Our dining table comfortably seats eight, making it the perfect hub for long Sunday brunches or festive family meals.

Sweet Dreams and Soft Linens
After a day of lakefront play, everyone will retreat to the comfort of 100% cotton sheets and plush bedding.

Flexible Sleeping: With four bedrooms—including two Queens for the adults and two Twin-over-Full bunks for the kids—there is plenty of space for the whole crew to spread out.

Modern Baths: Two fully remodeled bathrooms include a walk-in shower and a bathtub/shower combo, making bath time for the grandkids or a quick rinse after the lake a breeze.

Your Private, Shallow-Entry Beach
This is where the magic happens. Otsego Lake is crystal clear, warm, and famously Pure Michigan.

Safety First: Our private beach features a shallow-entry sandy shore, perfect for toddlers and little ones to splash safely while you watch from a rocking chair or the double swing.

Lake Toys Included: We’ve provided one kayak, two stand-up paddleboards, and the fan-favorite “Lilly Pad” water mat. Life vests for all sizes are included, so you can skip the heavy packing.

S'mores and Stars: End the night at the lakeside fire pit. It’s the ultimate spot for roasting marshmallows and sharing family stories under the Michigan sky.
