The Neighborhood:
One of our visitors had this to say about the Enchanted Cottage: “The house is nice but you honestly don't spend much time in it. The dock and porches are fantastic. The use of the boat is great for driving out to a cove and swimming or finding the rope swing.”
We feel the same way!
Our large screened porch with two ceiling fans is perfect for rocking, dining, playing games, napping, or listening to music (and it’s big enough for everyone). The outdoor fire pit is a great spot for enjoying making S’mores and telling tall tales. And be sure to head out to the top of the boat house for some incredible star gazing!
Getting Around:
The property is best accessed by car. Local hikes, restaurants, and shops are all within a 10–12 minute drive.
Other Things to Note:
✓ The rooftop deck of the boathouse is currently closed while to boat house is being rebuilt.
Interaction with Guests:
We’re available by message throughout your stay and happy to help anytime.
