The Cottage Hotel is truly one of the oldest saloons in the area. It was built in 1822 as an old stage coach stop and has been serving the community ever since. Our burger is made from Grass-Fed angus which has been raised with care by my personal friend and farmer, Deb Snyder of Deb's Homestead! We are the home of original music, community events, and specialty classes like painting events for kids and adults!
