Norton Cottage is a cozy and charming older cottage. Constructed of cedar and stone. Very "northwoodsy". One bedroom with a beamed ceiling. One full (modern) bathroom. Huge, great room with a queen sofa sleeper. Large stone fireplace. Beamed ceilings. Walk through the screen porch to the cute kitchen - big enough to eat in. Set back from the shore by the lawn (shared with Burgoon).
