LINDEN HOLLOW — The 640-square-foot cottage at Linden Hollow is “quaint and intimate,” two words that, together, encourage the rooms to get to know you.
It also features a “bonus room,” presented in the manner of a prize. What the room was awarded for is not stated. The listing suggests hobbies; we suggest asking how the room is classified.
The cottage is a “true blank canvas.” Paint, brushes, and artistic temperament are not included.
