Cottage on the Lake

At the edge of a quiet, glassy lake stands a small cottage, where time seems to slow with the gentle rhythm of lapping water. Inside, the cottage is simple and inviting. The kitchen, modest and bright, equipped and ready for your first cup of coffee on the deck As evening settles, the world hushes. Fireflies begin their soft glow along the shoreline, and the water reflects the first shy stars. The cottage becomes a lantern against the darkening sky— a place of refuge, reflection, and quiet joy
