Lovely Log Home on the Lake

We love this historic log cabin with a beautiful view of the lake. It is a relaxing spot for us but would also be a perfect place for an active family to enjoy water sports.

Great stay

the cottage is very nice. We always bring items we need at other rentals. We found we did not need to. You will not find better location and access to all your needs while staying on Eight Point Lake. This by far was our best location, cottage, and great hosts. We highly recommend renting this cottage.

Perfect Place on Eight Point Lake

This was either the third or fourth time we have stayed at the Cotter Cottage, and we enjoy it every time. This time was even better because the Cotter's suggested a local Golf Cart Company and we rented a golf cart for the week. So much fun!

Ideal destination home for anyone just wanting to unplug. Home offers plenty of the essentials to enjoy your stay. Dock and water access was perfect for us to access our pontoon and spend the day on the lake and the sandbar. We hope to book again soon

Lovely lake house

We had a wonderful time staying at this lake house. Like many of the other guests had mentioned, it’s even better than the pictures. Several sitting areas inside to get out of the sun and play games. Comfortable beds and furniture. You will not be disappointed.

Family fun

This is our 2nd time coming as a family to the cottage and my kids loved it! We especially love the outdoor area. The water is shallow enough for the kids to play in (2 and 5 years old). The cottage, including the kitchen was stocked, and had everything we needed. We loved our getaway and had a great time! My son already can't wait to go back!

A great cabin

Took my family of 4 and our friends family of 4 to this cabin for memorial day weekend. Can't say enough great things about it. Right on the lake where the guys took our boat out fishing every morning. the kids favorite was playing in the shallow sandy water! Enjoyed our morning coffee with the breeze coming in off the lake and would end our night with a fire in the pit OR in the house, it was still cool enough and was very enjoyable! The owners were very accommodating and approachable. Lots of great memories were made!
