Charming Cottage on Forested Lot With Community Firepit; Near Ski Resort

A charming modern cabin in the heart of the West Shore, Owl Cottage sits on a quiet, forested lot, surrounded by cedar trees. Ideal for groups, the 4-bedroom private lodge is the host home of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat located steps from the beach and a one-minute drive from Homewood Mountain Resort.

A flat-screen TV adds entertainment when you want to unwind. Hardwood floors, high ceilings and built-in bookshelves create the feeling of a European alpine lodge.

The fully equipped kitchen, well-appointed for the family chef, features cutting-board countertops and every appliance needed to craft home-cooked dinners. A 4-seat dining table overlooks the woods outside, while a large, furnished deck just off the living area adds a table for dining al fresco.
