Cozy Country at Cedar Cottage- Across from Otter Lake.

Come kick back at Cedar Cottage in Otter Lake!

Relax with the family at this peaceful old home. Cedar Cottage -aka 2Cs-our latest acquisition in quaint Village of Otter Lake. Across the street from Otter Lake where you can access the beach, picnic area, & lake. Kayaks available. Trails- hiking & ATVs.
Equipped kitchen, living room, dining, porch, & backyard w/ firepit & games. Sleeps up to 7. Dog friendly.

Time to RELAX!
The space
2Cs is an over 100 years old remodeled cottage. Two bedrooms (1. king-size, 2. three twins) with 2 baths. Fully equipped kitchen, living room, dining room, porch, and backyard with firepit and yard games. It sleeps 7 comfortably. Games and smart TVs are provided. Store & bar/grill a couple doors down. Conveniently located less than a half of hour drive to Lapeer, Frankenmuth, or Birch Run.
Guest access
Guests have the full cottage and yard for use. Also you have access to Otter Lake- all sports lake with beach, dock, picnic area, and playground. Please note- property is not directly on the lake.

Enjoy the sunrise with the perfect cup of coffee or wind down in the evenings on the front porch or backyard with a gas grill, tables and chairs for outdoor dining, lawn games, and a fire pit to roast some s’mores. Lots to do in this quaint community. Go for a hike or bike ride on the Southern trail. Relax on the beach right across the street or the Holloway Reservoir and Buttercup Beach is only a short drive. Blueberry picking is another option. This is not just a summer getaway- we have something for everyone year-round. The fall brings beautiful sights with all the trees in full glorious color. In the winter, there are trails for ATVing and cross-country skiing, and a lake for fishing and ice-skating. Perhaps, spend rainy days in the rocker, watching the Smart TV for movie night or your favorite sports, ...or maybe playing one of the many board games that are provided.

Weekend trip
My family and I stayed here for a weekend roadtrip and had a great stay. The house is as advertised, it was clean and the host was responsive and very friendly. The town is super cute with a nice spot to fish and swim. Short drive to Frankenmuth with plenty of antique shops along the way. I would definitely stay here again.

Spring break
It was a cozy home. We definitely hit our heads a few times and laughed. The step from the entry to living room was rough. Stubbed our toes too many times. The games were fun. The beds were comfortable. Dish washer wasn't the best. Kitchen was well furnished. Its a great place close enough to shop in birchrun and Frankenmuth. Water preasure was good. The entire house was clean and maintained. Lake was nice to look at. Quiet town this time of year. April 2024.

Close to frankenmuth
Older home crazy layout low ceilings, gave this place charm. W got it to b close to Frankenmuth a lot costing an arm and a leg. At least three good restaurants within a 15 minute to 20 minute drive. This is not lake front but I s is close. Came in December so not an issue. Nice getaway will stay again t t need arises.

Family getaway for shopping, and fun at the beach
My family and I were looking for a cottage that would be quiet, but close to the water, and had shopping by near by. This was everything we wanted and more. It had the old family cottage feel, but had all the modern extras we could want. The host was very easy to communicate with, and was quick to help with whatever we needed.

Time to Relax
The lake cottage had everything we needed to relax. We sat outside at the fire pit both nights we were there and just chilled. For entertainment we had a board game tournament. The beach/lake was clean and welcoming. Tiffany was responsive to any of our questions about the cabin.

Comfortable place
While this is an older property, it is very nice. Comfortable and homey, not pretentious and a place you are afraid to put your feet up and relax. If you expect 5 star everything and perfection, then don't pick an older place. If you want a place to feel at home in and enough distance away from the crowds, this is your type place. Only drawback was that is was the first real warm weekend so the road out front was quite busy late into the evening, but not bad enough to really bother.
