About this property

Hillside cottage on Pretty Lake

Enjoy lake life at its best at this cozy cottage located on the peaceful shores of Pretty Lake.

Nestled on a quiet 184-acre fishing lake, this 610 sq. ft. 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat features an open floor plan with a warm, uncluttered interior that sleeps up to 4 guests. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, and bedroom 2 has a twin bunk (with two twin beds). The property is private and furnished, including kitchen and bathroom essentials, a dishwasher, an iron and compact ironing board, and a starter set of toiletries/linens. There is also a compact work desk available, as well a travel crib and high chair. This cottage is ideal for couples, small groups and families.

Please note that due to being in a rural area, cell phone signal is poor. The best way to make and receive phone calls/text messages at this property is by connecting to the Wi-Fi and enabling internet calling on your cell phone. Also, streaming services are the only TV options, and there is an Amazon Fire TV Stick attached to the 42 inch television and connected to the Wi-Fi for easy streaming.

In warmer months, step outside to a spacious patio with stunning lakefront views, a fire-pit area perfect for evening gatherings, and direct access to your private aluminum dock. Swim in the water, fish from the dock or go kayaking (3 kayaks & paddles included) in the amazing crystal clear waters of Pretty Lake (https://prettylake.org).

The Most Amazing Place

The best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in. It was such a magical trip. The house is comfy and cozy. Kayaking on the lake was so fun, and Diego and Danielle were great hosts. Can’t wait to return!

A brief but comfortable stay in a beautiful lakeside cottage. There were a mix of lovely perks (complimentary wine, kayak access) and *minor* flaws (coffee but no black tea; iron but no ironing board; trash can barely opens). Comfortable bed & pillows, good water pressure in shower. We’re not picky about water and found the well water perfectly drinkable, but those who are more sensitive might want to heed the recommendation to bring bottled water. Would gladly stay there again.

We had such a wonderful time kayaking in hidden alcoves on the lake, cruising around on the pontoon boat, and enjoying a beautiful view while toasting marshmallows over the campfire. The house was beautiful, quiet, and super clean. The beds were comfortable and the inside temperature was wonderfully cool. The fridge had plenty of space. The bunk bed setup was absolutely charming. It was the perfect gathering place for a few friends and family to get together. We would definitely recomend this place to others and plan to book it again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Diego & Danielle Orozco

Host profile image
We love spending time with our family and friends at this inviting cottage on Pretty Lake, and we enjoy being able to share this unique and relaxing experience with others.

Why they chose this property

There are many nature preserves and natural areas nearby that we hike at, including Maple Wood Nature Preserve, Pokagon State Park, and Chain O’ Lakes State Park. We enjoy the serene atmosphere of Pretty Lake, and we also appreciate the close access (2 min drive) to the Big Long Lake Public Access Launch, which is an all-sports lake. Cooking at the cottage is a breeze, but we also like eating out at the local Shady Nook Inn Restaurant (a 5 min drive from the cottage).

What makes this property unique

We hope you enjoy morning coffee on the dock, afternoon kayaking on Pretty Lake, and evening conversations by the fire as much as we do.
