The Kent Collection – The Garden Cottages

The three cottages are each unique in size and layout, but they share an eclectic, casual, cozy ambiance. These family friendly and pet friendly residences are perfect for getting away while still feeling connected to everything happening in town.

The Little House


This open studio space is one large room with a king-size bed at one end, and a sleeper sofa and fireplace at the other. Newly constructed in 2022, this charming space has the same footprint, as well as the original fireplace, chimney, floorboards, and beams of the antique house that stood here previously. We tried to save the original house, but it was too far gone.

The Train Car


Climb aboard this 1800s baggage car that’s been fully updated and beautifully transformed into an open studio space. The bright and modern interior includes colorful, plaid fabrics, rustic train memorabilia, and lots of natural wood.

The Bunk House


This early 1900s barn-like structure was originally a bunkhouse for railroad employees. Now fully renovated but still steeped in historic charm, it features original wide plank wood floors, wood walls, and a rustic yet comfortable interior. The cozy sleeping loft has dormers and overlooks the living room.
