THE INTERIOR

Cozy knotty‑pine warmth and custom finishes

The cottage’s interior is finished with knotty pine tongue‑and‑groove and southern yellow pine floors sourced from a local mill; the kitchen features custom hickory cabinets and the gas fireplace has a stone mantel from a local quarry.

THE RIVERFRONT

Screened porch, sunsets and a private slip

A screened‑in porch faces Chippewa Bay, an ideal place to watch evening light across the water; one boat slip is included with the rental, with fees for any additional slips required.

THE MAKEOVER

A full rebuild with local materials

Crossover Cottage was the first property renovated in 2010 and was taken down to the frame with structural and foundation work completed before being finished with locally sourced materials.
