About this house rental
The Cottage is a 160-year-old historic home on Pelcher Road in Lake Pleasant New York. It was built in 1862 (during the Civil War), complete with the Grave of Pvt Nicholas Burton a Union Soldier who died in Battle. The house was recently renovated to be a comfortable home with all the modern conveniences but still retains its historic nature. If you are looking for a modern, motel room like place to stay with a king size bed and wide screen TV, then the cottage is not for you.

As advertised. Lighting was tricky. Not nearly enough power outlets. Maybe some power strips would be helpful. Also, extra toilet paper and paper towels would help too. Loved the location. Thanks for everything!
