We say our cottage is impeccable because in only 300 sq ft you have all you need in a spacious and elegant interior. Designed and renovated by an amazing local boat builder, every space was consciously created.

Our cottage kitchen is the shining example of how to blend efficiency and functionality. Featuring a full-sized electric Avanti stovetop and oven with a microwave mounted above, and a large stainless steel, modern sink, you can effortlessly make any meal. We've hosted guests for Thanksgiving that boasted how they did a full course meal with ease!
You’ll find plenty of kitchen gadgets, including a blender, hand mixer, cookware, and bakeware to create your favorite meals. Enjoy our coffee bar stocked with Pete's coffee, teas, stevia, sugar, and creamer, along with both a drip coffeemaker and French press, and a coffee grinder. We even have spices and oil in the cabinets! Plus, there’s a full-sized refrigerator with a freezer, and a stackable Blomberg washer and dryer—just note that there’s no dishwasher, so hand washing is required.

In the living room, relax on the comfy loveseat or swivel chair while enjoying views through the French doors to the deck and water beyond. Curl up with a throw blanket to stream your favorite movies on the Smart TV or play some board games. The sofa also has a pull-out twin bed with linens for an extra guest.

The queen bed is tucked into its own private nook, featuring a sturdy Captain's bed frame for extra storage and a small closet for hanging clothes. We even provide a small iron and board!

The custom-tiled bathroom offers a large shower and vanity with all the amenities you need, plus plenty of towels.

Outside, enjoy dining alfresco at the bistro table and chairs, and fire up the gas BBQ—we provide a full tank and tools, so just bring your secret sauce recipe! 🍔

With fast, reliable WiFi speeds up to 50 Mbps, this is a fantastic 'work-cation' cottage for digital nomads!
