About this property

#4 The Cozy Cottage

The Cozy Cottage sits atop the bluff overlooking Petite Lake. Full of cottage charm and gorgeous lake views, the cottage is just steps away from the beach. The comfortable living room provides plenty of seating for everyone to relax and enjoy after a long day in the lake. Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a small but mighty kitchen are equipped with all the essentials for a getaway.

The fully-fenced backyard overlooking the lake has a fire pit, grill, backyard games, picnic tables and hammocks. The hot tub is inside a covered gazebo. In the winter, it has thicker panels and in the summer it has netting. After a long day in the lake, camp out in the backyard with s'mores and a bonfire! You can bring your own firewood or purchase on site.

The comfortable living room is just off the the dining area. With 3 floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, the views of the lake are spectacular. This room has comfortable sofas and chairs that sit in front of a large flat-screen smart tv and electric fireplace. The French doors leading into this room can be closed and locked to create another private bedroom with a sleeper sofa, if desired.

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

Things to note:
*This cottage was built in the 40s. It's a blend of old cottage charm and new amenities. The house was lovingly called the "Cozy Crooked Cottage" until it was leveled as much as possible. While the lower level is renewed and the house is safe, the upstairs is still a bit wonky, so be prepared!

*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!

*This is a pet friendly cottage! There is a fee of $50/pet for up to two dogs. We do not allow cats.

*Please only bring friendly, well-behaved dogs as this is a resort and other people may be around. Dogs may not be left alone, especially outside, in common areas, or in the cottage. If left alone in the cottage, a crate is mandatory.

*Pets must be kept on a leash when outside and they are not allowed on the beach or in shared spaces, unless everyone in that space is okay with it. As much as we might love dogs, not everyone does. Please be considerate of those with allergies or fears.

*Pick up after your pet every single time. Poop bags provided!

*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.

*The price is on a sliding scale. The base price is aimed to make the cottage more affordable for single families. There is a $10/night fee for guests beyond 7 to cover additional laundry, supplies, etc. We provide plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, cleaning supplies, beach towels, coffee (standard and k-cups), and all the kitchen essentials.

*There is a filtered water pitcher in the fridge. We recommend that you bring ice!

Gem of a property!
You really can’t ask for more when staying at the cottages on petite lake. They have created such a special atmosphere on their little slice of heaven. No lack of places to enjoy the beautiful lake. Fire pits plenty of yard and sun chairs on all the properties. Private beach with chairs and water toys to play with. We didn’t bring ours but they’re dog friendly and would be a great spot for a four legged friend as well. This was our first experience staying with David and Jessica at the cottages, but it will not be our last! Wish i could give them more then 5 stars, they deserve it!

Sandy feet. Boating. Bonfires. Fishing. Lazy summer days. Picnics. Simple and charming cottages. A return to the family vacation old-school style. A peaceful pause in today’s chaotic world. This is the our vision for The Cottages on Petite Lake, and it has quickly become a family affair.

On any given day, you’ll find David and his daughter, Jessica, deep in the work of renovating the property to restore the quirky, charming cottages that were built in the early 1900s. Seven have been fixed up so far including the houseboat, a tiny house, the big lodge, the yacht and three other cottages. More to come in the near future!

A labor of love, The Cottages on Petite Lake is the Chiesa family’s desire to serve the community by providing a retreat from the busy world we live in so guests can connect with themselves and each other while enjoying the outdoors.

Located on Petite Lake, this adorable house is on the Cottages on Petite Lake property with access to boats, swimming, fishing, and beautiful morning sunrises.

Each cottage has a private fire pit, propane grill (we provide the gas!), and outdoor sitting and dining space. We have firewood available for delivery (cash, Zelle or Venmo accepted) or you can bring your own!

We have kayaks, paddle boards, a floating picnic table, water hammocks, floats and beach toys available (free - first come first serve). There is also a picnic area and fun community feel! The beach is private to the cottages on the property.
