Our summer visit was so nice we came back for Christmas with family! Everyone enjoyed the location, the hot tub, and the cottage. It is hard to find a house that accomodates a group in all rooms. The dining area seated all of us as did the spacious living area.The best surprise...all the water fowl on the lake! So beautiful!

Perfect WFH Covid getaway

We enjoyed the most relaxing weekend! Everything was incredibly clean, wonderful view, and good WiFi to take some zoom calls.

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!

We were surprised with how nice the property was. The deck is the perfect place to relax and catch up with family. The hot tub is an added bonus. Everything we needed was just a short walk away (Parks, Bakery, Restaurant). The host is responsive and provided several unexpected perks. We enjoyed every moment of our stay.

This was our very first family vacation ever and I wanted it to be one of the most memorable ones. Jason’s paradise cottage and the beautiful city of Lake Odessa with its wonderful people made sure that dream came true!!! If a cottage with LITERALLY every detail covered is what you are looking for this is the one. Only three cottages away from beach, huge sports bar & grill behind it with bowling alley and quaint town with all the offerings within walking distance. We WILL BE BACK!!!!

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.

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!
