Lake Access Cottage, fenced, private, pet friendly, sleeps 6 with sleeper sofa | Cottage in Albion
2 Bedroom Cottage in Columbia City, Albion
Relax in my 2-bedroom cottage. We’re not lakefront but we are so close, we are lake accessible. You’ll have your private pier on the channel behind your cottage. Paddle 20 ft. down the channel running behind the cottage, it leads directly to Big Lake’s 2nd basin. You have your own pier onto the channel to drop your kayak in. Plus you’re only 7 miles from Chain O’Lakes State Park. There are 3 basins to our 300 acre, Big Lake. 1st basin has ski speeds from 1:00 to 4:00 each day. The rest of the time our beautiful lake is 10 mph or less.
Enjoy a well-stocked kitchen, a refrigerator with top freezer, electric stovetop & oven, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker and double sink. I provide coffee filters, ground coffee ( regular & decaf) plus a local blend by NewEra Coffee. There are lots of spices, a food processor, air fryer, pots, cookie sheets, pizza pan, silverware, bowls, plates, cups, wine glasses and coffee mugs, grilling tools and racks for the outdoor fire pit or charcoal patio grill. I offer plastic and glass dinnerware, bowls & cups. The shower has body wash, shampoo & conditioner, along with lotion and hand sanitizer. There‘s a hair dryer & a magnifying mirror in the bathroom.
The cozy space has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed, there’s a full bath, tub/shower. I welcome your pets, a $80 fee will cover additional cleaning & sanitizing steps following each visit. The quantity will affect the daily price if over 1 pet. Over 1 pet, please message me with your pets details, sizes, quantity etc. Our cozy living room has a sleeper sofa and the 3-season room lets you spread out. We have a washer & dryer, with laundry detergent for your convenience. You’ll love our quiet, peaceful setting. Come relax, read, use the yoga mat, have a glass of wine while enjoying the birds and all that nature has to show you!
My cottage boasts a large almost fully-fenced yard with fire pit, charcoal grill & private patio. Along the channel, there is 20 feet, where there is no fencing, just foliage & trees. It’s a very quiet area, if you’re seeking reflection and solitude. Come and enjoy this piece of paradise.
I take every effort to clean the cottage top to bottom, between each guests’ booking. I use only organically grounded products and solutions in cleaning Tulip Cottage.
Guests can enjoy the entire house, your own fenced-in yard, if you have pets please bring their crates so you don’t leave them alone, also bring poop bags. You can enjoy evening fires in the burning pit or grill-out on the charcoal patio grill, as well as venture out on your small craft using your own pier, to paddle on the channel leading to Big Lake’s 2nd basin. A neighborhood boat launch is just across the street from the cottage if you bring your own fishing or speed boat. There is no public beach however there is a new, quite long public pier that you can fish from and a boat launch on the other side of the lake. You can enjoy bicycling, walks, time on the water or enjoying gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. You’ll be within 7 miles of Indiana’s Chain O’Lakes State Park, for hiking, picnics and they rent canoes & kayaks as well. There’s a paddle trail to literally paddle from one lake to the next and the next. You can paddle & explore for miles!
Other things to note -
There’s a white noise device available in one bedroom. And an iPhone dock, clock/alarm in the other bedroom. Both bedrooms have new queen beds and each has a task reading light if you enjoy reading in bed. There’s a living room lamp with USB ports and if the cottage loses power, the lamp stays illuminated for 24 hours. The charcoal grill comes with grilling utensils and a grill mitt. The fire pit comes with skewers, a cast iron skillet, and a grilling basket to fry your fish after you catch it! Firewood bundles can be purchased here for $5. I provide your first wood bundle. Don’t forget to bring your charcoal and lighter fluid. If you forget, I can help with that! You can rent kayaks from me, life jackets, I also have dog life jackets of varying sizes and paddles here too. Kayaks rent for $75/person for the duration of your stay. I welcome pets but I do have a house rule asking that guests keep their pets off the furniture and out of the beds. There will be a $200 added charge if dog hair is found on the bed linens, or on the furniture, when I clean up and do the laundry. A quantity over 1 pet will affect your daily price. Message me with your pets’ details, size, quantity, etc. The $200 charge also applies if you’ve smoked inside or if the cottage is left “dirty & used” At check-out. Please understand I want each guest to experience a spotless and clean stay :)
We look forward to welcoming you.
