#7 Tiny House at The Cottages on Petite Lake
This charming and unique 400 square foot tiny house sleeps 5 and is loaded with amenities including a private hot tub. A full sized kitchen and bathroom make for a comfortable yet adventurous getaway. Play all day on the lake and beach and enjoy a comfortable night's stay in this sweet house with 1 bedroom, 2 lofts with double beds, and a sleeper sofa that pulls out into a twin sized bed.
The Tiny House has a large sliding glass door that opens to your private back deck. The deck has a full size hot tub, patio set with an umbrella, and a gas grill. Propane is provided along with grilling tools. With the push of a button outside, you can turn on string lights that wrap around. You get glimpses of Petite Lake right from the privacy of your back deck!
Guests also have access to many free amenities: beach, piers, kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, floats, water volleyball, and much more! There is a rooftop deck is available for everyone to use if it's not rented for a private event. If you are interested in hosting a private event, please inquire on our website.

*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.
HOT TUB RULES: Maximum of 4 guests at a time. Children should be accompanied by a parent at all times. Shower before use and wash hands with soap and water. No diving or jumping. No chemical use without host permission. Do not use alcohol or drugs before hot tub use. Elderly and pregnant women should consult doctor before use. Limit soak to 15 minutes and cool down before re-entry. Anyone with heart disease, high or low blood pressure, or any serious illness should consult with a doctor before use.

About the host

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.
