Our Location
Morningtide Cottage is set back on a quiet road with no through traffic. Perfect for strolls and bike rides with friends and family, surrounded by water and woods, our peaceful neighborhood will make you feel at home. We encourage guests to use the field for lawn games, enjoy our outdoor dining area and fire pit with water views, and have coffee on our deck while watching the sunrise over the water. There is a pair of nesting bald eagles nearby, plenty of osprey who fish in the cove, great blue herons crabbing along the water’s edge, and loads of song birds to serenade you. We encourage you to sit on our deck to listen to them and to be on the lookout for any other animals that might visit.
