Otis reservoir is one of my favorite places on earth. Tracy's place is right on the water and having a dock to moor our 18 foot sport boat was fabulous. We sat by the fire pit on two separate evenings and use the grill as well. The cottage was extremely comfortable! Everyone remarked on what great night sleeps they got.The neighbors were also very friendly. It was a wonderful family vacation.

Great location for boating
Place was very comfortable. Immaculate clean and decorated nice. Comfortable couch, cable tv, and mattresses also comfortable.
Two bed rooms (one in basement) doesn’t make for a ton of privacy but we were there for the location. Dock was perfect for our ski boat and kids loved fishing. Launched at the marina. Were able to park our trailer and truck on site at the cottage.
Kitchen had all the essentials and pots/pans to cook as well as a keurig and coffee pot (coffee grounds, filters, and assorted salt/pepper/oil in cupboard). Need to bring your own baggies, cooking spray, Saran Wrap for storing leftovers, and your own ice cube trays. Kitchen a little tight but that’s cottage living.
2 bathrooms were a plus, towels provided, need to bring your own soap/shampoo.
Laundry on site but need to bring your own detergent.
We brought our own wood for the fire pit. gas grill on location for grilling, but probably needs to be replaced soon. Outdoor furniture was great/ table on patio was a tad wobbly.
Overall we had a wonderful stay and would 💯 return again.

Beautiful Location
We loved the location of the property. Right on the lake. It was beautiful. We think the updates to the house were nice and they made good use of the space. We did think that there should have been a note in the house about the sump pumps. Half our stay was rainy and they are right behind the wall of the "master bedroom" so not a lot of sleeping on those raining nights. The only spot in the house where you can't hear them is upstairs in the living room but there are no window treatments so sleeping on the couch was not really an option. Also, no firewood for the firepit or propane for the grill. I have never stayed in a rental that advertised those amenities and didn't provide for them.

Lake house retreat
Each day we slid the back door open walked out and drank our coffee on the dock as the kids paddled, fished, and played in the water. The place is clean and neat and exactly what we needed. Thanks for an awesome getaway. We want to come back next year!!!
