Set atop a hill overlooking Petite Lake, this 1900's Lake House is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a get away! Relax on 480ft of beach, swim, boat, ski & fish or take in the changing seasons. A great old lake resort for family fun. Looking for more cottages? All are listed under my profile.

These cottages were originally built in the early 1900's with additions in the 40's. I find the wonky floors, creaking stairs & strange layouts charming, I hope you do too. Cypress Resort & Marine has a total of 10 cottages, boat slips, launch and an event hall for private parties. 

The property has 480ft of sandy beach, picnic tables, floating piers, boat launch, men's & women's bathrooms with showers. Kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, life jackets, floaties and sand toys are provided at no extra cost. The Boat House is available to rent for private parties.
You can always find me on the property working hard to improve the ambiance and experience for the guests of Cypress Resort & Marine.

Cypress Resort is set on the west side of beautiful Petite Lake, apart of the Chain of Lakes. Our 20 acre resort is located on a dead end street and includes 5 acres of lakefront and 15 acres of natural marsh full of wildlife.

Car, uber or taxi.

We are in nature. Expect spiders, webs, bees, ants and mosquitoes. Though we clean just hours before your stay spiders can and will spin a web with in that time.

My parents purchased this lake resort in 1984 but never ran it as the cottage resort it was intended to be. Instead it became a community of family and friends passing through. I had an amazing childhood of lake adventures with three older brothers building forts, exploring and being immersed in nature. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to make it into the cottage resort It was begging to be. Now that I have the pleasure of being this lands steward and caretaker, it brings so much meaning to my life to see families and friends make memories on our shores.
