Right next to the living area, kitchen and dining is the master bedroom on one side while on the other side sits a smaller, second bedroom with bathroom.RELATED: Rosseau Retreat: Rustic Lakeside Cottage Morphed into an Idyllic Escape!Metallic shelves bring glitter and brightness to the rural settingCozy and small fireplace in the living roomOpen and light filled interior of the Studio CottageRevived rural home combines efficiency and style in a rel...
