What makes this property unique
A nice feature of this cottage is the 2 distinct wings for the bedrooms, separated by a breezeway, both with their own bathroom and entrances to both the back of the cottage and the water. While communal areas are great for time together, the adjacent sleeping areas allow for quiet and privacy.
