Welcome to our lakeside retreat, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of Lake Tichigan. Newly installed pier offers the perfect spot for fishing or simply enjoying the serene views.

Swim or bring your own kayak or paddle boat to explore the 279-acre lake.

Lake Tichigan is a natural spring-fed lake that feeds into the Fox River. With a maximum depth of 63 feet and an average depth of 6 feet, its a haven for anglers with various fish species including Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Trout, Walleye, and Catfish. Keep an eye out for the graceful family of swans that often visit the lake, adding to the enchanting ambiance.

- This cottage shares the lakefront, pier and parking with our Cottage B.

- Smoking is not permitted inside the house, and marijuana smoking is strictly prohibited on the premises.

- As we are located by the lake, our water may have a distinct mineral scent. This is common in lake houses and is completely safe.

- Please be mindful of our sewage system and avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper, as the city sewage by the lake is sensitive.

- If youre interested in a leisurely outing on the lake, we offer pontoon boat rentals at $180 per night (only for summer season).

- During the May-June season, lake flies are abundant. They are harmless but can be an annoyance. They typically disappear within two weeks and are a food source for fish in the lake. It is important to keep windows and doors closed at night, as they are attracted to bright lights and can enter through screen doors.
