country cottage

A country cottage is a small, rustic house in a rural setting, often used as a weekend retreat or vacation home.

The term evokes charm and simplicity—thatched roofs, flower gardens, stone walls—though actual country cottages range from genuinely modest dwellings to expensively renovated getaways: They bought a country cottage in the Cotswolds.
