Interior Lake Views: The cottage has limited lake views from the interior - the best lake view is from the kitchen table. As I prune more trees on the property, the views will improve. The current cottage price reflects the limited views. There are beautiful lake views from the the outdoor seating areas. If you prefer stunning lake views from the interior, then consider renting my main house on the same property.
