Cute Cottage in Beautiful Forest | Artistic Style & Charm | A Ligonier Original
Beechwood Cottage was once an artist's home and studio...and it is an eclectic, artistic, inviting and relaxing retreat awaiting your arrival. Your visit to Beechwood Cottage will awaken your creative spirit and recharge your soul with art and nature's wonder.
This house is a true Ligonier original and reflects our 24 years being part of this special community. We've been providing short term rentals for nearly 10 years and we love sharing our cottage, and this community, with visitors from around the world who are looking for a change from the ordinary that's elegant, unexpected, welcoming and inviting. It's a little bit of art, a whole lot of love and one of a kind around every corner.
Your inspiration will begin when you enter and enjoy the hand-painted details of the large enclosed front porch. As you step through the sliding interior door, you'll be delighted by unexpected and expansive, beamed ceilings in the great room. In fall and winter, cozy up to one of the home's two working fireplaces - the first a massive, floor to ceiling wood burning beauty (we'll start you off with a box of seasoned firewood) made of hand cut sandstone and a second in the cozy den and featuring the instant, easy charm of gas firelogs.
As you explore the house, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, private spaces for quiet reading or contemplation, a rustic farm table ready to host your new family memories, a great outdoor space, private, fenced yard and a fun and delighting mix of cottage antiques, original art and one of a kind style.
Beechwood Cottage's three bedrooms feature views of nature's beauty from every vantage point, in every season. Be sure to check out the intricate hand paintings on walls and floors and faux-paint finish of the master bathroom vanity - magically transformed from plain wood to curly, burled maple.
We enjoy traveling around the world. From the Mexican kitchen tiles (carried back from Tijuana), to the intricate and intriguing decoupage window cornices, or a framework of seashells gathered from beaches around the world - and much more - the delightful details around every corner our cottage will excite, engage and inspire the creative you.
The interior of Beechwood Cottage was not bought in a big box store. It continues to evolve and has been created and curated to reflect us, our love of craftsmanship, original art and our journeys and inspirations from our own travels to many corners of the globe. Travel that has grown our world, opened our eyes yet always led us home to this beautiful spot in the historic Ligonier valley.
