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.

Lovely lake front log home
This was our 3rd summer visit and it did not disappoint. The spacious cabin is very clean, well supplied, and directly on a perfect lake for swimming, boating, or just relaxing. We highly recommend for a wonderful lakeside vacation.

Lovely log home with a view
This historic log cabin is welcoming and updated for a relaxing vacation on the lake. The lakefront is shallow and sandy and perfect for swimming. Views from the deck and front of the cottage are priceless! We look forward to staying here again next summer.

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.

Lovely log home with a view
We spent an amazing weekend in this historical log cabin with beautiful lake views from inside as well as from the deck. It was clean and well stocked with a modern kitchen and bath. We really enjoyed the roomy, rustic living area. It provided a perfect place to enjoy a September weekend of fall colors and unexpected warm temps. We look forward to a return visit.

Lovely Vacation Spot
The cottage and the property were very nice. There was plenty of room and it met all of our expectations. The bed in the downstairs bedroom was very comfy and I slept well the whole time. The only thing I would mention as far as improvements would be adding a banister to the stairs going to the second floor.

Lovely property
The property was lovely, but unfortunately we had to leave as the lake was treated with chemicals and we couldn’t swim the days we were scheduled to be there. This out a bit of a damper on our vacation.

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

Lovely lake house
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.

Perfect cottage
Very well maintained cottage. Blown away by the wood work inside and the cleanliness of the home! Couldn’t ask for a better location. The owners had an answer for every question and extremely accommodating.
