Inside, the single‑level cottage feels instantly welcoming, with natural light spilling over comfortable furnishings and a sense of home that lasts all year.

Outdoor living
The backyard and deck remain inviting even in winter. The outdoor hot tub offers a soothing soak under the open sky, while the fire pit provides a warm gathering spot as the sun sets. A grill is available for those who wish to cook outdoors when the weather permits, and the space is ideal for stargazing from the comfort of a blanket.
Family & pet‑friendly
Children’s books, toys, and dinnerware are provided, and the spacious yard gives kids room to play. Dogs are welcome; cats are not allowed due to allergies. The cottage’s layout and amenities are designed with families in mind.
