Lake front on North shore of Lake Weir, Florida (it is NOT a duplex / 2 entries)

Bring your family to our quaint, sleepy lake front home on the desirous North shore of 6000 acre Lake Weir in Ocklawaha, FL where Ma Barker had her famous shootout with the FBI in 1935! "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. Swimming, fishing, kayaking, water skiing, wake boarding, paddle boarding and more right in your back yard. Come enjoy the relaxing, laid back lake life! This is NOT a duplex. It simply has separate entry doors & is a "split plan".
THOUGH WE WOULD LOVE TO DO SO, WE CANNOT ALLOW PETS BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR ALLERGIES WITH FUTURE GUESTS.

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.

Owner very helpful

Quaint cottage with fantastic view of very large lake. Every morning we sat either on interior porch or exterior deck to eat breakfast and drink coffee while watch birds and ducks on a beautiful lake. Owner hands on and very helpful. Grandkids loved it and entire family had a great time tossing football either out front or out back on a very well maintained yard!

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.
