Lovely lakefront log cabin on Eight Point Lake. Relax or have fun in the lake!
Authentic rustic log cabin on 8-Point Lake in Michigan with 100 feet of lake frontage. Enjoy the all sports lake and great swimming in the clear sandy bottom lake just steps away. View the beautiful Fall colors or go golfing on many golf courses near by. Eight Point Lake includes a public accessible boat launch and is stocked with fish each year. We also have a dock to tie up your boat. In summer go on the biking/hiking trail near by or ride your bike or 4-wheeler around the lake. Watch the beautiful Michigan sunsets from a cozy blaze in the fireplace or at the fire pit by the water's edge. It's vacation time!
Beautiful lake views can be seen from the entire front of the cottage. Can sleep up to 8 people between 3 bedrooms; 1 bedroom with Queen bed on the first floor; Upstairs loft has 1 BR with queen; 1 BR with 2 twins; 2 twins in common area. There is 1 bath on the main floor with a shower. Updated kitchen with supplies. The historical log cabin includes a working stone fireplace in the great room.
We are approximately a 2 mile bike ride to the Pere Marquette Rail Trail that runs from Midland to Baldwin, MI. You can also ride your bike or walk around the entire lake. There are restaurants nearby along with businesses to buy groceries and necessities. A local produce stand is also available during the growing season.
We have many golf courses in the area including the challenging Eagle Glen GC only 10 minutes away. Mt. Pleasant is only 30 miles south where there are even more golf courses, restaurants and other activities. It also contains the Soaring Eagle Casino and all the events that are associated with it. Central Michigan University is also a source of entertainment with scheduled events through out the year. Clare is 20 minutes away for more restaurants, bakeries and other small town shopping locations. The owners live next door if you have any questions.

Great stay
the cottage is very nice. We always bring items we need at other rentals. We found we did not need to. You will not find better location and access to all your needs while staying on Eight Point Lake. This by far was our best location, cottage, and great hosts. We highly recommend renting this cottage.

Perfect Place on Eight Point Lake
This was either the third or fourth time we have stayed at the Cotter Cottage, and we enjoy it every time. This time was even better because the Cotter's suggested a local Golf Cart Company and we rented a golf cart for the week. So much fun!

Ideal destination home for anyone just wanting to unplug. Home offers plenty of the essentials to enjoy your stay. Dock and water access was perfect for us to access our pontoon and spend the day on the lake and the sandbar. We hope to book again soon

We had a wonderful time staying at this lake house. Like many of the other guests had mentioned, it’s even better than the pictures. Several sitting areas inside to get out of the sun and play games. Comfortable beds and furniture. You will not be disappointed.

Family fun
This is our 2nd time coming as a family to the cottage and my kids loved it! We especially love the outdoor area. The water is shallow enough for the kids to play in (2 and 5 years old). The cottage, including the kitchen was stocked, and had everything we needed. We loved our getaway and had a great time! My son already can't wait to go back!

A great cabin
Took my family of 4 and our friends family of 4 to this cabin for memorial day weekend. Can't say enough great things about it. Right on the lake where the guys took our boat out fishing every morning. the kids favorite was playing in the shallow sandy water! Enjoyed our morning coffee with the breeze coming in off the lake and would end our night with a fire in the pit OR in the house, it was still cool enough and was very enjoyable! The owners were very accommodating and approachable. Lots of great memories were made!
