Our cottage holds a rich history, being one of the original 16 cottages built in 1930. It was known as the “Sleepy Hollow Motor Resort” during its early days. The resort boasted state-of-the-art amenities for the time, including electric heat, hot water, and even radios in the cottages. Imagine how appealing it must have been to spend a summer there, with all the modern conveniences of the era.
Back then, the cottages enjoyed a range of services provided by local businesses. The bakery, dry cleaner, mail delivery, and milk delivery all catered to the needs of the guests, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay. It truly was a destination designed for relaxation and enjoyment.
In 2005, a major refurbishment took place, transforming each cottage into a unique masterpiece. Renowned interior decorators lent their talents to create stunning and eye-catching designs. The cottages gained popularity, becoming featured attractions in various magazines and blogs, including ours.
Interestingly, our cottage had its own interior designer as its previous owner. With a pastel country decor that exuded charm and warmth, it welcomed guests until we acquired it in August 2020. We embarked on a journey to update and revitalize the cottage, giving it a fresh look and feel. New furnishings and decor were carefully chosen, resulting in a relaxing coastal transformation.
Throughout the years, the cottages have continued to undergo upgrades and improvements. Some have even undergone complete overhauls to meet the evolving tastes and preferences of discerning guests. Our cottage stands as a testament to these ongoing enhancements.
