Stone Cottage Design...

No matter where we go in our travels, the sight of a stone cottage often mesmerizes us.  What is it about these structures that attracts us to them and draws us in? 

Is it their nostalgic charm and ambiance?  Is it their sense of timelessness?  Is it their sense of history, stability, and seeming immortality?  Is it their storybook style enchantment? 

Perhaps it is all of these . . . and more.  What IS certain is that they continue to have a hold on us, as they have in centuries past . . . regardless of how ancient -- or recent -- they may be!
