The Yacht @ The Cottages on Petite Lake

The Yacht sleeps up to 4 guests with two bedrooms (one queen, one room with two small twins), a queen sized futon, a dinette that converts to another queen bed, one bathroom*, a kitchenette, and living space.

The Yacht sits on the gorgeous shoreline of Petite Lake, which is part of the Chain O'Lakes. Sitting atop the yacht, the sunrise from the east is breathtaking. Mornings on the lake are peaceful and serene. By the afternoon, the lake becomes active with boats, fishing, and beach fun.

The beach and large rooftop deck provide different places to relax on land with plenty of free amenities. The rooftop deck overlooks the lake and has comfortable patio furniture, a grill, griddle and tiki bar. There is a mini refrigerator on the rooftop deck for Yacht guests to use while grilling and hanging out to lessen the need for coming and going from the boat.

The beach is on the other side of the pier, which provides a great sandy swimming area and lots of activities. All free- you have access to kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, water volleyball, a floating picnic table, piers for fishing, and lots of floats and other water toys. Life jackets of all sizes are available, except for infants. Please bring life jackets that fit infants and small children.

*There's a marina bathroom with a large shower stall, toilet, and storage at the end of the pier on shore. This restroom is private to yacht guests. Toilets on the Yacht are not to be used. Sinks and showers on the boat can be used as normal.

*The kitchenette consists of a dual coffee maker with a standard drip pot and a Keurig side, a microwave, double sink, and a mid-sized fridge and freezer. A starter case of bottled water is provided. We recommend bringing and cooler and ice for beverages or extra storage space. Coffee, sugar, and powdered creamer are supplied along with plates, cups and basic kitchen supplies.

*This is a 40-foot 1985 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin Yacht. It stays on the pier at all times and cannot be driven by renters.

*The pier is directly connected to our beach front. Safe area for swimming and access to FREE kayaks, paddle boards, floats, canoes, sand toys, life jackets and a floating picnic table. We also have rental boats available!

*There is a large staircase of about 35 stairs to get to/from the parking lot. See pictures for a better idea!

*The pier is made up of floating docks. They can be wobbly, especially when the lake is active. There is a lot of activity on weekends, especially late morning/afternoons. Mornings, nights and weekdays are slower.

*There are security cameras on the parking lot, beach and piers for safety and rental boat purposes. No cameras are on/in any of the rental units or outdoor yard spaces.

*The yacht is docked on our pier directly on Petite Lake, which is part of the Chain O'Lakes. Waves and movement should be expected along with the wildlife that accompanies lake life. Our peninsula is surrounded by the water, a forest and a swamp. You will see all kinds of fish, spiders, bugs, ducks, cranes, raccoons, chipmunks, muskrats, otters, squirrels, and much more!

*If you are sensitive to motion, this may not be the best option. We have several other rentals available on the property- feel free to reach out about availability.
