We needed a little place close to family in the area and this was perfect. The beds were comfy and the place had everything we needed, including some games the kids could play. Checkin/checkout was easy.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
We truly enjoyed our stay by the lake. Tiffany was very attentive and the property manager was very friendly and helpful. It was overall very relaxing.
