Cabin is beautiful and in a excellent location, feels rustic and historic inside but very well maintained and comfortable. Honestly even better than is looks in pictures. We had an wonderful stay
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
We love this historic log cabin with a beautiful view of the lake. It is a relaxing spot for us but would also be a perfect place for an active family to enjoy water sports.
We had another great time at the lake! Denise is wonderful to work with and we love the cottage. The location is great and easy to find. The cabin is spacious with beautiful views and access to the lake. Look forward to returning next year.
What a beautiful scenic place. lovely home with lots of space and panoramic lake views. firepit, grill and great friendly owners next door. Hope to return.
Nice shallow beach area for a long way out. Easy to keep track of young children. Cabin is very comfortable. Kitchen great for cooking or baking of any sort. Wish I could’ve stayed longer
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.
We enjoyed our third visit to this lovely lakefront log home.
It never disappoints! Whether swimming, making s'mores, or just enjoying the beautiful lake view, we highly recommend this for a fun summer get away.
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.
