Steeped in history, this cottage originally built
in 1922, sits on 450� of Peninsula Lake shoreline.
Nestled amongst the trees, the main cottage boasts a
four-piece bathroom, and five bedrooms, each with a
door leading on to the porch. Close by is a
guest cottage with a two-piece bathroom. With
a total of four double beds and 3 single beds, there
is lots of room for your large family.
Stretching across the front of the cottage is a
large screened-in porch with lots of seating to
enjoy the wonderful view of the lake. Off the
porch are French doors opening into the spacious
living room. The first thing that hits you is
the unique, floor to ceiling, stone, wood-burning
fireplace reminiscent of the early 1800s.
Grouped around this focal point are cozy sofas and
wicker chairs, with extra seating available on the
built-in window seat. There�s even a piano
(not well-tuned) for those of you enjoy the
occasional sing-a-long. Next to the living
room is the dining room with seating for 12.
There is a door leading to a sun deck, again with
plenty of seating. Off the dining room is the
fully-equipped, family-sized kitchen. What is
most incredible is that every single one of these
rooms has a gorgeous view of the lake.
Once outside, you will be amazed at the clarity
of the sandy-bottomed lake that is shallow for at
least 30 feet and perfect for children. A long
dock leads to another sun drenched dock with seating
and access to deeper water. You can moor the
canoe here or over at the two slip boathouse that
houses another canoe and a kayak. Moving up
from the waterfront, there is a delightful babbling
brook. Where the lake and brook meet, there is
some wonderful fishing.
This charmingly nostalgic compound will put you
in mind of simpler days, when a family cottaged for
the summer traveling by steamship or railway,
complete with trunks! Yet, less than 10
minutes away is the bustling town of Huntsville with
all the amenities you need and no less than five
golf courses. Enjoy the privacy and feel of
the wilderness yet be close town, entertainment,
fine dining and some of the best golfing available.
