The space
A picturesque historic building (originally build in the early 1940's), with a COMPLETE REMODEL in 2023 that took history into account with a mid-century/modern approach. Fostering a fun step-back-in-time with an eclectic design mixed with modern day conveniences, the Cottage is also now winterized, so available for year-round-rentals!

Highlights include:
- King bed (and sofa bed has new memory foam mattress)
- FULLY equipped kitchen (including stocked coffee/tea bar)
- Spacious deck, scenic harbor view
- Bike storage with standing rack, pump and basic tools (Note: summer/fall only)
- Wi-fi & Roku TVs (in living room and bedroom)
- Paid laundry service on premise, exclusively for guests

Here's a quick overview of reno-work completed:
- all new kitchen
- all new bath (NOTE: this is an "on-suite" to the bedroom -- and only accessible by walking through the bedroom; it's a bit quirky, yet was a 1950s upgrade from the original outhouse!)
- wall removal to create open-concept living room/kitchen
- privatization of bedroom
- refurbishing of hard wood floors throughout
- every wall freshly painted
- mid-century modern furnishings and decor
- unique, artisan custom-made pine furniture pieces
- behind the scenes work such as new windows, new drywall, electrical & plumbing upgrades, spray foam insulation and new heating system

Additionally, our kitchen is well-stocked with all the essentials. You are provided with basics and staples, including a variety of pots, pans, dishes, utensils, good knifes, oils, spices, vinegars, coffee and tea. Also have an Instant Pot, milk frother, food processor & blender, too!

Guest access
Only those included in your reservation will have access to the Cottage. We welcome to you to make yourselves at home within the entirety of the Cottage, along with its full front deck and side-yard where you'll find a picnic table, charcoal grill patio and the "bike shack," for which the key is provided for your exclusive use!

Hosts live next door and are readily available.
