Cottages Stonehaven - « Le Cottage Tortue »

Slow and steady wins the race! We are tickled to introduce our second cottage “The Turtle” here at Stonehaven Cottages! This cozy little one level cottage was moved here from Turtle Lake, WI and has received a total makeover. We’ve sprinkled in a few antiques, along with some adorable turtle decor to give this quaint lakeside cottage a charm all its own!
Transforming this little gem was a lot of hard work, but well worth it! The first thing we did was knock out a few walls to create an open concept, which includes a full kitchen, dining area, and a living room with a cozy field stone fireplace. It has one small bedroom with a queen size bed, a queen sofa sleeper in the living room, and a small bathroom with a shower. The focal point of this cottage boasts a large barnwood archway in the vaulted ceiling giving it a look and feel of being inside a turtle shell. We added barnwood and cedar shakes to several walls giving it a warm rustic charm. We left some of the knotty pine walls to give it a nostalgic feel of northwoods cabins of the past. You'll enjoy the look and feel of the old Fir flooring as you walk barefoot throughout the cottage. The entire east side wall of The Turtle has windows allowing for a spectacular sunrise view of Tuscobia Lake!
You can enjoy eating/grilling on the lakeside deck, or relaxing by the campfire area that overlooks the waterfowl marsh in the foreground, and Tuscobia Lake in the background. You won't want to miss watching the Bald Eagles flying in and out of their nest on Eagle Island, which is about 500 feet across the lake from the campfire area. When life gets too busy, come and slow down a bit at "The Turtle"!
