*The lofts are accessed by telescopic ladders and are not recommended for young children without parental supervision.

*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!

*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.

Great Stay

9/10 This was a truly awesome stay. My only suggestion is to provide the location info the day before arrival, I don't look at my phone while driving and Google maps gives an incorrect location. Easy to find following the directions sent in the arrival text. I highly recommend this property.

Fantastic getaway!

We were met by the owner of the property on arrival which was very nice! So pleasant and welcoming. Gave us a thorough tour of the property and beach. The area has such a charm and community feel to it. Even with other properties close by, it is quiet and relaxing. The owners are always accessible, even though we never needed them. I stumbled on this listing by accident and I am so glad I did! My children weren’t ready to leave!

Relaxing

Quaint little resort. Owners were friendly and property was cute. We stayed in the tiny house beat any hotel room we ever stayed at. Will be looking at booking one of the larger options to bring the entire family next year.

About the host

Your host

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.
