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.

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.

We had a great stay at Tiffany’s cottage ! The kitchen is very well stocked with every thing you would need. Plenty of Extra Towels bedding, pillows etc. The cottage was very clean & spotless ! Tiffany is a great and very responsive host. We absolutely loved her place and would definitely rent her cottage again. Lake Otter is just across the street for those interested in summertime activities.

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.

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.

We had a nice time at otter lake. The house was nice and cozy, the neighborhood was friendly. It was close to Frankenmuth. No lake access, and no stores or restaurants close by. Hostess was great!

We ended up having a rough stay for other reasons but the home was well equipped and laid out. Watch your head upstairs if you’re taller

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.

This was a last minute booking, but the host was more than accomodating. The cottage is adorable, clean and well kept. Everything we needed was provided. We had our dog there for 2 nights as well, and there were supplies provided for that as well. Very good communication with the host. It was my first VRBO experience and it certainly made me want to book more.

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.

The property was very nice. Once the electric went out we had no water, TV, air , toilets, could not take showers or make coffee. It went out on Wednesday at 5pm and when we checked out the next day it still was out at 9am.. Had to cut our vacation short. Maybe a generator would help solve this problem. The cottage was decorated very adorable , matched the area Otter Lake. Very clean !!!! Lots of things available to do.
