Awesome LAKE front cottage offers relaxation and fun! Great for Families!

La Vida Loca Cottage offers a relaxing get-a-way and lake front enjoyment. The house is perfect for leisure weekends as well as fun venue for entertaining the family for a week with kayaking, boat rentals nearby for water sports and fishing from the dock.

The southern exposure on open water, and wrap around covered porch is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the predominantly southern breeze. A fresh cup of coffee in the morning on the deck overlooking the lake is a must. The cottage offers a large living area with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, expansive windows, a spacious well-appointed kitchen, and large informal dining bar. Outside the approximately 800 square feet of decking creates the perfect outdoor environment where you and lucky guests will enjoy east facing open water views and unlimited entertainment possibilities. In addition, there is a private boathouse with large sun deck.

We have 2 Kayaks that are available for our guests use.

The house is in a clean and safe well-maintained neighborhood.

This was my second time staying at this beautiful lake house, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The host is amazing very responsive and attentive. The property is spacious, spotless, and offers a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. This trip was extra special because it was the first time I’ve taken my father on a getaway since his recent retirement, and he’s already talking about coming back. A truly memorable and restful stay!
