cottagers
Small home residents
Cottagers are people who live in cottages—small, modest rural dwellings.
Historically, the term described rural laborers or tenant farmers occupying simple houses on an estate.
In modern use, cottagers often refers to people who own or rent vacation cottages, particularly lakeside or countryside retreats: The cottagers return every summer.
