Updated cottage "Beriozka" on Cedar Lake

Originally from Russia (hence the name โ€œBeriozkaโ€ meaning Birch Tree) I live in Stamford CT. About 7-8 years ago Iโ€™ve discovered Chester/ Essex area and fell in love. Iโ€™ve been coming here during summer to enjoy river rides, during winter just to see snow on the ground of old towns and needless to say during fall โ€“ when all the beauty of nature unfolds. Then came an idea to have an own place here and when an opportunity came to buy this small cottage on Cedar Lake Iโ€™ve jumped on it.
