This mountain cottage is absolutely wonderful. It has a large back deck on the lake to enjoy the scenery and a great front patio to enjoy as well. The decor of the cottage is perfect for the mountains and is very comfortable yet chic. While this property is on the lake, it is off a busy main road, not within the neighborhood where you can easily walk. However , it’s still Super close to downtown and shops. We loved it.
