The Neighborhood

This cottage is tucked into one of Meredith’s most desirable lakefront neighborhoods, combining the charm of a quiet waterfront setting with the convenience of being just minutes from downtown. The area is peaceful and family-friendly, with a mix of seasonal cottages and year-round homes.
