Lake front on North shore of Lake Weir, Florida (it is NOT a duplex / 2 entries)

Bring your family to our quaint, sleepy lake front home on the desirous North shore of 6000 acre Lake Weir in Ocklawaha, FL where Ma Barker had her famous shootout with the FBI in 1935! "Edith Ott's Cottage" (vintage 1936) is perfectly located 10 miles from The Villages, 14 miles from Ocala, 55 miles from the University of Florida, 70 miles from Disney and 90 minutes from either coast. Sun rises and sunsets will be enjoyed from a perfect back deck overlooking the 100' white sandy beach and is shaded all day beneath huge live oaks. Want to enjoy same from indoors? The bonus porch is heated and air-conditioned and offers spectacular lake / beach views from its three walls of windows. Updated kitchen, washer, dryer, cable tv & wifi. 3 bedrooms (2 w/ lake view and master opens onto deck) and 2 baths. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, water skiing, wake boarding, paddle boarding and more right in your back yard. Come enjoy the relaxing, laid back lake life! This is NOT a duplex. It simply has separate entry doors & is a "split plan".
THOUGH WE WOULD LOVE TO DO SO, WE CANNOT ALLOW PETS BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR ALLERGIES WITH FUTURE GUESTS.

This was our second stay here. The location is great with a beautiful view of the lake. If you are looking for a place with the old Florida Charm the Ott Cottage is the place to stay. Kent is a great host and is easily available

Great property, right on lake w tie ups for our boat. Beautiful view of lake. 3rd bedroom was at least 10 degrees warmer than rest of house which made sleeping less comfortable.

Lake get away
Very friendly host! Cute little home, but very dark. Sunroom was nice!! Unfortunately, it rained a lot, so we didn’t get to enjoy the wonderful lake as much as we wanted The house could use more user friendly tv’s, or at least instructions. DVD player was there but no dvd’s. Master tv only got 2 stations. A few new amenities for the bathrooms would be nice also

Family friendly.
The only problem was the air temp was too warm at night. We are used to sleeping at a temp of 68 to 70. 75 is ok for the daytime but not comfortable for sleeping. The property was well equipped for cooking and . Everyone enjoyed their stay and the lake. We would consider coming back. It is a beautiful and relaxing spot.

Nice location
So good stuff first, it was in a good location and close to the boat ramp. Plenty of parking. Right off the lake, probably would have been great for jet skis to come right up to the house. It was a very old house and the air conditioning was an issue, you're not allowed to make it lower than 75 so it was fairly hot. The biggest issue we had with it was the bugs, there were ants coming in the window. They were in the carpet, on the ceiling. They weren't fire ants, and I'm a Floridian so ants don't usually bother me as long as they aren't fire ants, but that's not what I expect when I rent a house. It was nice enough but we won't be returning.

Piece of Nostalgia!
Enjoyed our stay on beautiful Lake Wier! Classic and nostalgic feel to the home. Took us back in time to that old Florida tranquil life. Especially loved the huge magnificent moss draped oak trees! Very convenient location for us.

Cute Lakeside Cottage
Very nice property with a well stocked kitchen and great views of Lake Weir. We also really liked the sunroom and the split bedroom layout! It was a tad bit hard to find the right gate in the dark, so try to arrive during the daytime the first day.
