The Cattywampus | A Little Crooked, A Lot of Cozy
Tucked just off to the side and full of quiet charm, The Cattywampus Cottage is a cozy little stay that feels settled in, comfortable, and just a bit off the beaten path—in all the right ways.
Set on our peaceful farm, this thoughtfully arranged tiny apartment offers a place to slow down, rest easy, and enjoy a simpler pace for a while.
