It doesn't get any sweeter than this! Artists in residence have turned this cottage into a delightful year-round home with many updates.

The space in the old-fashioned cupboards will amaze you. Cozy up to the woodburning fireplace on chilly evenings & relish in the views of wildlife on the creek from the enclosed side porch. Many extras. You'll love this place whether you choose to live here year-round or in your favorite season!
