Cottage is another one of my favorite words. Cottage sounds cozy and safe to me. I can just picture a thatched roof with stew cooking and biscuits in the oven and a window over the sink that looks into a well-kept garden. A geranium grows in a pot on the window sill. Beyond the garden is a pasture with dairy cows. Cottage reminds me of a Thomas Kincaide painting. You would not find things like a computer, television commercials, crime reports, or tax forms in a cottage. You would find a knitting project, a Jane Austen novel, and a bowl of fresh fruit.
