Clonnelty Cottage

Clonnelty Cottage

House Description: Clonnelty Cottage in located on a ½ acre and was originally built in the 1970’s by the owner’s parents. It is a beautiful rustic log framed cottage built with the logs off the property. In 2019, Clonnelty underwent a major renovation. The family wanted to retain the original charm of the family cottage while updating the cabin to make it more comfortable and environmentally friendly.

There is one modern bathroom with shower, a non-flushing composting toilet and sink located just outside the kitchen door just off the deck. The owners are converting the composting toilet to a regular toilet once they get their septic system in place which should be before the end of June 2026. (if all goes well).
