Cottage #3

Love-love-love this old classic summer cottage!  It was not in the greatest shape, that's for sure, but was like stepping back in time as not a lot has changed in probably 100 years.  Big bedrooms, lots of narrow wainscoat-everything you imagine in an old lakeshore place.
Annette steps into the old wrap-around screen porch.
We're not supposed to take pictures inside but I had to sneak this one inside the front porch.  There were two hanging beds, one just behind Jan in the brown shirt and one further down the porch if you click on the photo you might be able to see it.    Lots of taxidermy in this house and a huge fieldstone fireplace in the living room.
Here's the front.  The big screen window on the second story is a bedroom with an amazing view of Lake Darling.  It's located right behind Bug-a-Boo restaurant and it caught my eye before the tour so I was excited when we drove up and found out it was a cottage on the tour!
This is the back of the cottage-look at those old crank out windows.  There is a little guest house with two bedrooms and a very cute and tiny screen porch-10x10 at the most just to the right of this photo.  The granddaughter of the owner of this place recently bought this and is selling the adjacent lot for only $500,000.00!!  For that price a garage and fire-pit is included.
