Kodiak's Cottage - A 1920’s Classic
Begin your day on the porch with a fresh cup of Keurig coffee or walk 1 block to a breakfast cafe or Boulder Bay Park.

This quiet 1920s historic cottage sits below the main house at the base of a 3/4 acre lot close to the 'action' yet a world away. Now go put on one of our cozy robes and relax.
