Our stay was amazing. We were celebrating my wife’s birthday and Tammie went above and beyond to make it a special visit. We went between Christmas and new years and the Christmas decorations were awesome. We have a family of 5 and there was plenty of room for everyone, the boys absolutely loved the rooms on the third floor. The whole property had a very peaceful feel, we really enjoyed it and planned to come back again.

Wonderful Relaxing Lake A-Frame

My wife and I were very happy to be the first vacationers to this listing. Miss Tammi worked very hard to make sure our stay was pleasant. The lake is very calm and great for kayaking and paddle-boarding. Great sea food a short drive away. The bed was extremely comfortable. We look forward to returning for another stay.

Lovely cottage on the lake

Loved watching the sun set across the lake while sitting on the comfortable dock each night. Enjoyed the gentle breeze across the water. Visiting the area in June from Texas, we marvelled at the lack of mosquitoes. Cottage was comfortably cooled by several window A/C units and ceiling fans. The cottage was cozy yet spacious enough for visiting. Comfortable beds and lovely decor. Recommend this as a very relaxing place to stay!

Amazing experience!

I can’t say enough good things about Tammie and our stay at the cottage. It’s a unique property that was so cozy and perfect for us. The kids absolutely loved the loft area and being able to kayak and fish every day. It’s such a peaceful and beautiful place.

Loved it!

We loved our stay and were so sad to leave! The owner was a great communicator and left us gifts as we were celebrating a graduation and a birthday. We did a beach day and a couple New Orleans days. Sitting on the dock and watching my kids kayak was my favorite part, so very peaceful. Would love to stay again! :) everything we could have needed was provided. Very thankful for our time at the cottage on the lake!

Lake cottage.

A-frame home on the lake, has paddle boats, kayaks and an area for a camp fire! My grandkids, my son and I had a blast. Big yard with other yard games available that kept the children occupied. They did not want to leave. My two granddaughters especially like the top floor which they took over and made it the “Girls Only Room”

Right when we pulled up and walked in I felt like I had walked into a Nicholas Sparks novel!!! The sun shone brightly through the extravagant windows, that looked out upon the magnificent view of the lake. The cottage filled the smell of coffee and bacon. I took my breakfast on the back deck. Even though it was going to be a hot day the breeze from the lake was refreshing. I looked up expecting to see the local boat builder come around the corner….. and then “Mom!!!!!“ Let’s go paddle boating, let’s go fishing, let’s go kayaking!” Shook me out of my daydream LOL!!! There was cornhole, there was volleyball, there was badminton. After dinner they wore us out with the board games too! This cottage and its host really did go above and beyond for a wonderful stay. So, whether you are looking for a romantic Nicholas Sparks type getaway, or a family fun filled vacation, this Cottage does not disappoint! We can not wait to come back for more memories!

About the host

Hosted by Tammie Perrette

Host profile image
Life began again, here at this peaceful little cottage.
After raising our family of 6 and enjoying 12 grandchildren for many years, I lost my husband to cancer. Many months later I discovered this little cottage and moved myself in to start life anew.
As tiny as it was, our huge family came together here for the holidays and family gatherings we've always valued, playing on the lake, having football games in the yard and sitting down to meals together, on the porch of coarse, as it was the only place big enough to seat 28 people.
After meeting my new husband and building a home together across the lake, the kids and I couldn't part with our precious little cottage where we had started so many new memories, so we bought it.
Our family still uses the cottage for get-a-ways and fun at the lake and decided that it would be nice to share The Cottage with others that come to our area wanting a special and relaxing experience of our culture.
The Cottage was our new beginning in a new setting as we made our way to a new chapter of our life.
