First, I have to say that I can hardly even believe that I have a lake house that comes with a guest cottage.
This is the same guy who grew up in a lake house whose primary heating method was a wood stove.
During the summer, dad would put a sizable window air conditioning machine in the window of the kitchen for cooling. While the wood stove cranked the heating & was awesome, you pretty much had to stand in front of the window a/c. So the idea that I would own a lake house that comes with a mini lake house out back is crazy. Shoot, I could live inside the guest cottage the rest of our life & be perfectly glad. It’s one family room with a small kitchen & a wonderful living area. In fact, now that we’ve finally gotten around to giving the guest cottage some attention, it’s one of the coolest parts of the property. My wife fell in care about with this location a few years ago. Once the people I was with and I bought it, there were many renovations to do. Those included putting in state of the art residential HVAC & so much HVAC technology that I’m not so sure how to use it. With all the stuff that was going on in the main house, the guest cottage was forgotten. Well that all just changed as the same HVAC company installed a pair of ductless heat pumps inside the guest cottage. I replaced the furnishing, painted & had new flooring put down. The location is awesome now & if you can’t find myself and others in the main lake house that’s because I’m right here with the ductless heat pumps in the guest cottage.
