Outdoor concert season has begun!!! This venue is just over 20 minutes from the cottage, and its idyllic setting is perfect for laidback, intimate shows.

I've never regretted a walk on our lovely Jordan Lake Trail, and this morning was no exception. Want to retrace my steps from the cottage? See the screenshot from my tracking app for a visual of the route.

It's Tulip Time in Holland this week, but you don't have to venture out to the big lake for your flower fix. These images were all captured right at the cottage. Curious how some of these flowers wound up here? Read our April blog post for the details!

It's not just our property! Lake Odessa is downright swoon-worthy in spring, thanks to all the blooms that abound. See the comments for some photos of the town bedecked in blossoms, and feel free to share some of your own!

I spent a solid two hours downtown Lake Odessa Saturday afternoon, at the sprawling Wally's Antique Mall, sheltered from the rain, and dreaming of warm, sunny days ahead! Here are some of the best spring and summer inspired treasures that I spotted.

I headed to 2 Sisters and Bonanza Friday, hoping to spot treasures that conjure spring (in this dreary stretch of weather we've been having). Here is what caught my eye and made me think of warmer, sunnier days ahead!

March ushered in the first day of spring and the first day to reach 70 degrees, and it brought extra time for adventures with the increasing daylight. Here are some moments from the month!

Sunrise this morning. I happened to catch the exact moment the sun crested the hill. Sound up to hear the birds 🐦🦆🎶

Our latest two reviews! The first is for our 'cabin,' first floor only, 1 bed, 2 guests max, a popular option for a quick couple's retreat. The second is for the entire cottage, a great getaway for the whole gang.

Want to visualize yourself here, whether you'd be packing light (for two), or really packing them in (up to ten total)? See our website for amenities, photos, and newly added digital blueprints.

A small photo dump for January in and around Lake Odessa. Alas, it was by and large a frigid month, and most days we just stayed in. I saw some lovely sunrises and sunsets, but almost all through glass 😉
