This charming 2 BR, 1 BA cottage is affectionally called, "The Little Lodge". This cozy cottage is just steps away from the beach on Petite Lake.
"The Little Lodge" has original cypress wood (just like our main Lodge) and 2 lovely bedrooms, a full living room with a sleeper sofa, and a sparkling eat-in, well-equipped kitchen. Just outside is a magical fairy garden with a private grill and fire pit.

Sandy feet. Boating. Bonfires. Fishing. Lazy summer days. Picnics. Simple and charming cottages. A return to the family vacation old-school style. A peaceful pause in today’s chaotic world. This is the vision of David Chiesa, and building it has quickly become a family affair.

On any given day, you’ll find David, his mother, Catherine, his daughter, Jessica, and his sons, Will and Harry, deep in the work of renovating the property that houses four cottages, two bluff houses, one apartment, a tiny house, and a sweet houseboat.

A labor of love, The Cottages on Petite Lake is the Chiesa family’s desire to serve the community by providing a retreat from the busy world we live in so guests can connect to themselves and to each other.

Located on Petite Lake, this charming 2BR cottage is on the Cottages on Petite Lake property with access to boats, swimming, fishing, and beautiful morning sunrises.

The beach is private for guests of the property. There are chairs and fire pits for each unit. We have kayaks, paddle boards, water hammocks, floats and beach toys available (free - first come first serve). There is also a picnic area and fun community feel!

We have a beautiful Pontoon boat available for rent separately.

My daughter, Jessica, lives on the property. We always try to have a manager or maintenance person on site. Her house is set furthest away from the cottages. Guest interaction can be as frequent or minimal as you make it! We can be contacted through the app or called/texted directly at any time. Phone numbers are provided upon arrival. We try to greet all guests personally and give a brief tour of the property and amenities. Looking forward to meeting and sharing our passion with you!

The Chain O'Lakes is in northeast Illinois and is composed of 15 lakes connected by the Fox River and man-made channels. Encompassing more than 7,100 acres of water, 488 miles of shoreline and 45 miles of river, the Chain is a recreational waterway offering fun for everyone. Located on the border of Lake County and McHenry County, the area is about an hour's drive from the cities of Chicago, Milwaukee, and Rockford. Additionally, the Chain O'Lakes includes the beautiful Chain O'Lakes State Park which borders three lakes.

*We are in nature. Expect spiders, webs, ants, bees, mosquitoes or other usual lake house critters. You'll see lots of chipmunks, squirrels and bunnies around and wake up to the birds chirping, too!

*There are security cameras on the parking lot, beach and piers for safety and rental boat purposes. No cameras are on/in any of the rental units or outdoor yard spaces.

*The beach is accessed by an outdoor set of stairs.
