Check out this adorable & affordable waterfront get-away cottage on Tea Creek, leading to Smallwood Lake. This charming waterfront cottage features a friendly floor plan with a beautiful sunroom facing the water with knotty pine interior, roomy cottage kitchen, separate dining area, living room, covered porch, open deck facing the water, outdoor shower with an on-demand water heating system & more! Kick back and relax on the covered porch or walk down to the water to the dock from the well-maintained steps. There's even a cute little path-bath between the house and the water.
