This summer home for Bill and Amy Long and their family was intended to look like a cottage.

Situated on the south shore of Lake Mitchell, this 3,200 sf home appears to be smaller. Through the use of hip roofs, boxed out windows and wide siding and trim, the scale of this house was brought down to feel more like a cottage.

Constructed by Windsong Homes, the Long Cottage won the People's Choice Award in the 2005 Cadillac Parade of Homes.
