*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.

*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.

*This is a no pets property. For pet friendly options, please visit our listings.

Perfect place to work and relax!!

I booked this perfect little tiny house as a retreat while on a work trip!! It was exactly as described! It was clean, comfortable and quiet. The hot tub was a welcomed amenity in the cool, northern November air! Thank you so much for a wonderful get away!

Great tiny gem

We had a wonderful time, the beach was literally feet away, they had lots of boats and paddle boards, and the hot tub really hit the spot after driving all day.

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

Host profile image
Sandy feet. Boating. Bonfires. Fishing. Lazy summer days. Picnics. Simple and charming cottages. A return to the old school family vacation. A perfect retreat to escape the daily grind and a place to unwind with family or friends. This is our vision for The Cottages on Petite Lake.

On any given day, you’ll find David, his daughter Jessica or staff around the property restoring this quirky, charming cottage resort. Most were built in the early 1900s. Ten have been fixed up including the houseboat, a tiny house, the big lodge, and a yacht.

A labor of love, The Cottages on Petite Lake is the Chiesa family’s passion 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, 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.
