Brown cottage, it's a funky lil' cottage directly on a small lake. Pictures are very accurate. We had a good time, and it was especially nice to have access to kayaks and canoes, so that's definitely a plus+plus. Steep stairs were not especially problematic for us (as we are 60yrs+). We found the furniture / bedding & pillows not particularly "comfortable", (especially for the price point), the cottage is ideal for a couple, something to consider, we wouldn't even consider the (so called) 2nd bedroom for kids of any age, it was a small dark closet for us, more like a walk in closet, it was a good place for our luggage.
