The 888 sq ft Vintage Country Cottage was originally built in the late 1890's. This guest house was the original home on our property. It has sheltered many families over the years, including one with 10 children. A local artist, Paul Havas, once lived here while he built a cabin nearby from reclaimed materials. A few owners later, an overseas missionary took on the task of saving its roof and foundation. Years after that, my husband and I lived in this very cottage while expanding that cabin into our primary residence. Today it's preserved as a cozy, modernized retreat. It is the perfect place to relax in a peaceful, beautiful setting. Watch for flocks of snow geese, Canada geese, eagles, owls, and hawks overhead. You will also most likely meet our two resident cats, Winston and Galaxy, who roam the property.
