Loved the none-motorized lake. Very peaceful and the lake has great fishing and swimming. The cottage has everything you need. Clean and cozy. You can see the age of the property but has air conditioning, proximity to the water with a level lot is fantastic. We had a great stay.

Our family had a great time at this cottage. The lake is beautiful; we enjoyed swimming, fishing and canoeing. The views from inside are amazing, you can see the lake from almost any window. It’s minutes from Huntsville which is very convenient.

Amazing lake that this cottage is on! Otter lake should be called Bass lake! Great fishing. The no motor lake is so peaceful. Great swimming. The dock ladder needs some work. The cottage is lovely. The frying pans may need replacing. There a few little house keeping things that need to be done but they do not really affect your stay. The water filtration system was great! Loved the shower head, great pressure. This is a wonderful cottage for a small family and will be on our list of cottage to revisit.

This is a spacious, clean, and well-equiped cottage. The location is fantastic. Super quiet with a beautiful view. We loved that it's on a non-motorized lake, as two of us in the family are avid kayakers. The large property and surrounding area was great for walking our dogs.

So Lovely

A quaint, lovely gem. The space was super clean and had everything we needed. The dock was great to hang out on, spent full days on it and in the water. It was spacious and cozy enough for 3 adults.
