"Edith Ott's Cottage" (vintage 1936) is perfectly located 10 miles from The Villages, 14 miles from Ocala, 55 miles from the University of Florida, 70 miles from Disney and 90 minutes from either coast. Sun rises and sunsets will be enjoyed from a perfect back deck overlooking the 100' white sandy beach and is shaded all day beneath huge live oaks. Want to enjoy same from indoors? The bonus porch is heated and air-conditioned and offers spectacular lake / beach views from its three walls of windows. Updated kitchen, washer, dryer, cable tv & wifi. 3 bedrooms (2 w/ lake view and master opens onto deck) and 2 baths.

Good location, weird stay

From the start it was kind of weird having a (random man) walking around the property and garage without any introduction as to who he was on 5/23, then 5/24 we wake up to some “random man” in the front yard near our vehicles and proceed to the back of the house and started cleaning the grass from the lake (where we planned on hanging out all day) and cut tons of grass from the lake and piled it on the shoreline… eventually found out that the random man was the owner ?? He left all the grass on shoreline and proceeded to go away. Found glass, barb wire in water so be careful when stepping.. very odd as well that you can’t adjust the temperature of the ac/heat for a comfortable stay..(signs up saying you’re not allowed to) and the washer AND the dryer didn’t work at all… on the last night of our stay we were emailed to take all our trash/garbage with us because the dump was going to be close on 5/26… very odd ? We brought friends and family over to visit only and he was irritated about that and emailed about that as well… if you like your every move being watched the whole time you’re renting a house then this would be the right rental for you! Just really weird to have the owner walking around the property every single day of stay.. very nice location and swimming area but will NEVER rent this old house again.

Ott Cottafe

This was a 4th stay at the Ott Cottage. Kent and Dana are great hosts and very accommodating. The cottage location is very convenient to the lake with great views of Lake Weir. It nice to be able to launch a boat the nearby boat ramp and able to keep the boat in the water at the cottage. We will going back again

The Edith Ott Cottage

Loved this authentic lake cottage. The lake view from the large porch & deck were perfect…sunsets and sunrises both. The cottage is supplied well for your every need and while it is not furnished with every brand new modern items it is indeed very comfortable. We cooked all our meals except 2 during a 10 day stay. I will most likely return.

Nice location

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.

Lake get away

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
