So good stuff first, it was in a good location and close to the boat ramp. Plenty of parking. Right off the lake, probably would have been great for jet skis to come right up to the house. It was a very old house and the air conditioning was an issue, you're not allowed to make it lower than 75 so it was fairly hot. The biggest issue we had with it was the bugs, there were ants coming in the window. They were in the carpet, on the ceiling. They weren't fire ants, and I'm a Floridian so ants don't usually bother me as long as they aren't fire ants, but that's not what I expect when I rent a house. It was nice enough but we won't be returning.

Very friendly host! Cute little home, but very dark. Sunroom was nice!! Unfortunately, it rained a lot, so we didn’t get to enjoy the wonderful lake as much as we wanted The house could use more user friendly tv’s, or at least instructions. DVD player was there but no dvd’s. Master tv only got 2 stations. A few new amenities for the bathrooms would be nice also

Great property, right on lake w tie ups for our boat. Beautiful view of lake. 3rd bedroom was at least 10 degrees warmer than rest of house which made sleeping less comfortable.

Very nice property with a well stocked kitchen and great views of Lake Weir. We also really liked the sunroom and the split bedroom layout! It was a tad bit hard to find the right gate in the dark, so try to arrive during the daytime the first day.

Excellent Hosts, Beautiful View and Great Lake house
This was our 4th stay at Ott Cottage. The deck and front porch overlooking lake is fabulous. Accommodations were super. Excellent lake for boating, swimming and fishing. Everything provided and could ask for a better view.

Family friendly.
The only problem was the air temp was too warm at night. We are used to sleeping at a temp of 68 to 70. 75 is ok for the daytime but not comfortable for sleeping. The property was well equipped for cooking and . Everyone enjoyed their stay and the lake. We would consider coming back. It is a beautiful and relaxing spot.

Relaxing lake getaway
Had a wonderful time at the cottage, the kids didn’t want to leave the lake. We enjoyed the views and convenience to everything. The cottage was well appointed, clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Kent was great and answered all our questions promptly.
Would stay again!

We had a great time at the lake. Best part was having our jetskis right there whenever we wanted to ride.

The perfect property
The property was absolutely perfect. Nestled between several gorgeous large homes is the cottage. Rustic yet perfect in every way, there was nothing missing from the property at all. The best feature in my opinion is the Florida room we ate all meals and did all of our catching up there, all while gazing at the lake. Can’t wait to visit again with the rest of my family!

Beautiful lake getaway
Had a great time with family on the lake. Would have loved to have a beach area, but did not hinder our enjoyment (less sand to clean up). Water was lovely. Lots of toys for kids to play with too! Boat ramp was a short 10 min. Drive away. House met our needs, though slightly cramped entrance. Keep food put away in kitchen.

Peaceful getaway
We wanted a location to escape the Covid madness and this was perfect. It was quiet and relaxing right on the water. The owner who lives next door let us use his dock which my husband immensely enjoyed having his morning coffee while watching the sunrise.
