Heron Cottage

A serene, modern, and private one bedroom cottage with excellent lake views of tranquil Pattison Lake. One mile from Amtrak, with parking. The lake (with fish!) is beautiful from the cottage and has a public boat ramp on the north side. There is no direct access to the lake from the cottage. The bed is a tempur-pedic queen bed with memory foam pad. Please no cats (due to allergies) and no aggressive dogs. Other pets are allowed with prior approval-please contact us. We offer long term discounts! This 800 sq ft one bedroom cottage is separate from house on property and is not shared with anyone else. Pattison Lake is known as the quiet lake due to its 5 mph speed limit. You will see kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, row boats, fishing boats, etc., but no loud motor boats. This 250 lake acreage lake is open year round and offers good opportunity for fishing for stocked rainbow trout. The lake also supports naturally reproducing populations of largemouth bass, yellow perch, black crappie, and rock bass. Even though there is no lake access from the cottage, there is public access to 3 lakes close by (less than 6 miles from cottage). -Pattison lake public access is very basic and has a boat ramp. -Long Lake public access has a beach area with life guards. There is a boat ramp with kayak and paddle board rentals. -Lake St. Claire public access has a boat ramp and fishing pier. This is a much nicer area than Pattison Lake boat ramp. Pets We welcome your dogs with prior approval! We do have a size restriction on dogs - none larger than 60 lbs. We also ask that dogs are well-behaved and leashed when outside the cottage. We do ask for a $20 per pet per night fee to help us keep up with the cleaning--up to $200 per month. Please let us know if you plan on bringing a pet and we will be in touch after the booking is completed to collect the pet fee. More details on pets can be found in the guidebook we will send to you after booking. If you want to bring a pet that is not a dog, please request permission before finalizing the booking. The owner is allergic to cats, so please no cats. Thanks! Please note the cottage is not baby-proofed. Please contact the hosts before booking with your infant or toddler. Guests are welcome to enjoy our private cottage, the designated off-street parking area, and wooded area west of the cottage. Please respect the privacy of the property owner living in the main house on the same lot. Please note lake access is not available at this property. There is a rough trail to the lake a short distance away at the end of the road. The property owner lives onsite in a separate house and is usually available to answer questions or help during your stay. Feel free to call/text them if you have questions or concerns. Streamlined Communication Stay Cascadia utilizes automated messaging to ensure an enjoyable experience for all our guests. We provide a checklist that allows guests to select early check-in or a late check-out, notifies us if a guest wants to bring a pet, as well as provides clear check-in instructions and the opportunity to share those instructions with your party. Rest assured there is a human monitoring all of this so if you have an actual question we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please note: the TV is a smart TV. Cable TV is NOT provided.
