Our stay at the all-season cottage exceeded all expectations. I have stayed in my fair share of "cottages," but nothing compared to the comfort and convenience of this special place.
The layout provided a spacious and refreshing environment, especially with the plentiful large windows looking out to the trees. The insulation and airtight windows helped keep the cottage cool, and I bet it helps keep the warmth in the winter. I would consider moving in, except I barely tolerate the mild winters in Missouri. :)
One of the highlights was the screened-in porch, which quickly became my favorite spot. It provided a delightful sanctuary, shielding me from pesky bugs while allowing me to enjoy the captivating sight of rabbits and butterflies along with the sweet melodies of chirping birds. In fact, a pair of Eastern Kingbirds built a nest for their babies, and it was delightful to watch the mama diligently protect the nest and keep watch.
The cottage was fully stocked with essentials, such as cookware, bedding, and towels. The blackout curtains provided a peaceful sleep and a fresh start each day. While the beach is only a short walk away, I was not well enough to travel the few blocks on foot. No matter. The serene yard offered me the natural space I needed to help recover from a chronic illness.
Overall, the cottage was a delightful haven. . I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a perfect getaway amidst nature's beauty with the lake a stone's throw away.
