Cozy little lakeside cottage with AMAZING views of beautiful Clinton lake. Set on the front deck and listen to all the sounds of nature while watching all the activity on the lake!! What a great place to unwind. Serene and private setting. This peaceful country property will allow you to unwind and forget about all your worries of everyday life. Custom kitchen cabinets with quartz counter tops and an island large enough to seat 12. The kitchen is the front of the cottage so everyone can enjoy the view while cooking, dining or playing games. One bedroom and bathroom are found on main level and the remaining beds andsecond bedroomsre found in the walkout basement. This cottage is one you will book again and again.

We have plenty of boat trailer parking on the property. The property to the West is private property but feel free to park your boat outside the fence on either side of drive or backed in by dumpster. The yard is not fully fenced in.

Staycation close to the lake

We had a wonderful time staying close to home & having easy access to the lake. Great views of the lake from the porch. The house was clean & modernized & equipped with everything we needed.

Cozy, Comfortable and Great Location

We had a quick, after the holidays, visit with family. This home had plenty of room for our family of 4 and my brother's family. The furnishings were comfortable. We especially liked the soft blankets. I will recommended this property to friends and family.

Absolutely Delightful!!

Everything about the Cottage offers relaxation & renewal. My friends & I were on a Silent Retreat to spend focused time with The Lord & it is the perfect setting. The view of the lake is beautiful. The grounds, trees, flowers, outdoor seating... are refreshing. The Cottage itself is spotless, with an incredible view of the lake & every amenity one can think of. Very kind & accommodating hosts!

Fantastic Friends' Reunion Getaway

The property was fantastic, and the views amazing. I was pleased, as the house looked every bit as good in person (maybe even better) than in the photos. It was conveniently located near the marina, where we rented a pontoon boat for the day at a great price. This house is a gem for anyone looking for a weekend away at Clinton Lake. After boating the lake, it was clear that there are very few homes (if any) with a view like this. Would absolutely return and recommend it to others!

We loved the stay, great decor, relaxing getaway. Deck and living room windows have wonderful view of the lake. We made smores at the fire pit in the large yard. Our kids enjoyed the bedrooms and large comfy couch. 3 mintues to the beach and marina where we rented a pontoon. Would recommend

Our family rents a VBRO vacation rental every year for many years. We have always had beautiful homes in many different areas, Michigan City, Ottawa, Indiana, and other Midwest areas. But this lovely Charlie's Cottage , was the perfect place for our family this year. Beautifully decorated, beds and bedding, so comfortable, so very well supplied with everything you could need or want. We fell in love with the beautiful grounds, with its trails and well-maintained lawn, and fire pit!! We always have a good time but adding two small babies to our family this year, we are so grateful for how wonderful this lovely, comfortable, HOME served us this year, we cannot wait to go back NEXT year. Did I mention, this was the MOST reasonably priced home we have ever rented????

Peaceful & Perfect

Everything about this home is comfortable and conducive to a relaxing time watching the lake and listening to the sounds of nature. The decor in the room truly embodies the nautical theme and really adds to the joy of the home. We were visiting family in the area and can't wait to return to stay in Charlie's Cottage.

Couples weekend

Charlie’s cottage was amazing. The house was so clean and comfortable. There were 6 of us and there was plenty of space for us. The cottage is very well stocked. If you are looking to shut off and relax this is the perfect place. The owners Susie and Steve very so quick to respond to question /suggestions. Would definitely rent here again.
