We built the cottage in 2005 with lumber from an old plantation house that dated back to the early 1900. Built as a starter home for my son and his new wife and as the family grew, his home became too small.
You'll have the privacy of a single cottage with two bedrooms, one bathroom, living room, kitchen & laundry room. Both bedrooms have full-size beds. The private bath has an oversized tub plus a separate walk-in shower. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with continental breakfast items you prepare at your leisure with coffeemaker with coffee and condiments. Soft drinks and bottled water chilling in the fridge. Linen and towels are provided.
