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.

Great beach just blocks away

My daughter and grandkids liked the place, I on the other hand did not as much. Very little light or windows and only one window that had a screen in it so you had to run the room air conditioners non stop. And we had some nice cool mornings and evening that would have been nice to feel the breeze. There is not much the owners can do about the lack of window however screens would be nice. Also, the stairs were too steep for me and my dog to climb so we just slept in the living room futon. Again, not much the owners can do about the steep stairs except note it in the listing. Maybe I missed it. My daughter picked this out, I would not have. I will say that possibly as I get more mature I may be turning into a cottage snob and expect more. The location to the beach was a nice two block walk and we all enjoyed the beach. My daughter would book again, I would not. The host was pleasant and nice to work with.

Cute Place!

Very cute, quiet location walking distance to the lake, a little store and Jaspers restaurant. Only about a half hour from Frankmuth. Everyone was very nice. Only complaint i would have is the water but we were warned about that. Very strong sulfur smell. We brought drinking water though. It was nice and quiet. Bed was comfortable. Would stay again. .

Getaway + shopping and Frankenmuth

This charming clean house was a perfect getaway during a cold month. So much better than the hotel we stayed in last year for our annual trip from Canada. Everything we needed: close enough to Birch Run and Frankenmuth for daytime and lots of room for us three couples. Thinking of coming back during the summer to take advantage of kayaking and horseback rides.

Close to Frankenmuth

Cute cottage, quiet neighborhood near the lake. Only 30 minutes from Frankenmuth. Perfect size for our family. It’s an older house, so usual things like steep stairs and some low ceilings but the 2 bathrooms were appreciated. Lots of towels, games, nice fire pit and chairs in the backyard.

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.

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.
