If you like lakeside living in rustic abode, this is the cottage for you. You enter through carriage style doors (nice touch) which brings you into a small foyer area. Through the foyer you enter the kitchen area which is part of a large open living space with family room and dining room. The primary suite is ensconced off the open living space… but don’t worry, the primary bedroom and bathroom has walls.

The entire width of the rear of this cottage is a covered porch.

The upper floor includes a spacious loft area, an open area looking down below, two bedrooms (one that access a deck) and a small storage space.

Big enough for a family but still retains the cozy cottage experience. It’s a beaut.
