Lake Odessa Beach Cottage: Your Summer Getaway Haven
Gather the family for an unforgettable escape at this lakefront family retreat, perfectly nestled in the heart of walkable Lake Odessa. Just steps from a sandy beach and Buddy’s Restaurant, this cottage blends affordable luxury with small-town charm—no car needed! Only 2 hours from Detroit and 3 hours from Chicago, it’s the ideal spot for moms or grandmas to bring the crew for a summer adventure.
Why Families Love Us:
Lakefront Living: 430 acres of all-sports lake with a private dock, 4-seater pontoon-style paddleboat, 2 kayaks, and 2 paddleboards (April 1-Nov 1).
Year-Round Hot Tub: Fresh water and daily maintenance for a relaxing soak any day of the year.
Sprawling Deck: Overhanging the lake with pergola, hanging lights, and a wood-burning fire pit (s’mores kit included)—perfect for family bonding.
High-Speed WiFi (450+ Mbps): Stream Netflix on flat-screens or keep the kids entertained.
Fully Loaded Kitchen: Dishwasher, coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar, and a huge propane BBQ (spare tank included) for family feasts at the extra-long table, or numerous outdoor dining options.

Easy Access: No steps from sidewalk to deck, with self check-in and free parking (street April-Oct; lot Nov-March).
Endless Fun, Steps Away:

Great lakefront cottage
We had an excellent stay here- the description and photos are accurate and the overall process went really smoothly. I wish it was a little warmer so we could have enjoyed the water more, but we will definitely consider staying here again during the summer!

Sweet cottage
As soon as you walk into this sweet cottage and see the lake view and spacious deck, you start to relax and know that you will have a great time on Jordan Lake. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and paddle boat. The upstairs bedroom was perfect for a sleepover with cousins. We will definitely be back when in the area visiting family!

Perfect WFH Covid getaway
We enjoyed the most relaxing weekend! Everything was incredibly clean, wonderful view, and good WiFi to take some zoom calls. Jason laid out the most thoughtfully detailed guidebook, including reviews of each restaurant in the area. The hot tub was perfect and the kitchen is well equipped with gadgets to make your own meals! Would definitely stay again.

Overall, very enjoyable. Lots of amenities and things to do. Only criticism was yard was fairly overgrown, lots of cobwebs on dock. Neighbors were very close. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, and sitting on the deck.

Beautiful view, lovely little cottage!
This property was wonderful! The owner went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed- he even let us use his pontoon boat from free for a day which was beyond generous. Cottage was very clean, super close to the beach ( two houses down) and a fun restaurant with outdoor seating almost across the street. A lovely park and the downtown are within walking distance as well. Lake was beautiful and our kids loved swimming off the dock and at the beach.

They Thought of Everything
The pictures don't do it justice. We were very impressed. All the little touches were great. We really appreciated the maple syrup on the table when we walked in. Loved the house and all the comfy-ness of it! We needed some R & R and we got it. Loved the suggestions on the chalkboard of where to shop and where to eat. Lovely town, good shopping and good restaurants. Thank you for a great stay!

Absolutely Great!
Our family of 10 had a great time at the beach cottage. The home was clean and cute, and extremely comfortable with many areas to spread out. Many places within walking distance and the kayaks and rowboat provided hours of entertainment for the kids. Once we crashed at night, we loved the comfortable beds and top notch bedding. Highly recommend!

great week at the lake!
We had a wonderful time at the Lake Odessa Beach Cottage! It was so relaxing - we really enjoyed the deck, the full lake views, the fire pit, the true "cabin" feel of the interior also added to the ambiance feeling of being "up north" but convenient to everything. The cabin was very clean, with tons of amenities and stocked with anything we needed. Jason was a dream to work with and everything went very smoothly. Will definitely return again!

Fun for all
The Beach Cottage had everything we needed and more. Our group enjoyed the boats, hot tub, games, ample sitting/eating space inside and outside, fire pit and nearby basketball and pickleball courts. There was something for everyone. The hosts had clear instructions on the house and information about nearby restaurants and activities. We also appreciated the completely fenced-in yard so that our dog could be outside with us off leash.
