Cottage overview
Extra space for relaxing, visiting, and spreading out

- Comfortable sleeping area for small groups

Need even more space across multiple units? Pair this cottage with Burke Trammel Cottage or add one of the main-house suites for the same dates so everyone has their own door and bed.
