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.

The home is lovely and the enclosed back porch annd the deck overlooking the lake are wonderful, as is the gas fireplace. The home was clean, amentiies were nice (and as listed), and the owner was very responsive. The home is very convenient by car to the downtown shops and restaurants. It abuts a busy road, so you cannot walk around if that it’s important to you. Also, if you drive a very large SUV talk to the owner about parking beforehand. Would stay there again. It offered a lovely getaway.
