 In the town of Pequot Lakes there is a company that holds the title of being the largest manufacturer of rustic furniture in the country. Lonesome Cottage has grown from a small retail store to producing furniture for resorts, homes and retail across the United States. With this week's In Business reporter Rachel Johnson has more. Hotels, resorts and homes across the United States are furnished with rustic furniture made right here in Pequot Lakes at Lonesome Cottage. We're the largest rustic furniture maker in the country. We supply furniture to about two to three hundred furnished stores around the country. We also outfit a lot of hotels, lodges, water parks, restaurants around the country. Lonesome Cottage was established around two decades ago and bought by Brandon and Jill Anderson in 2003. In a sense grown from a small retail store to a large national producer. We started here locally in Pequot Lakes as a retail business and grew to now most of what we build gets shipped out all over the country to national parks and lodges and mountain homes and other furniture stores. Lonesome Cottage produces a variety of rustic furnishings using cedar, hickory, reclaimed barnwood and pine. The cedar wood is sourced from northern Minnesota brought in in hand peeled before being hand crafted into various furniture pieces. Well the cedar logs come from the extreme northern Minnesota area. The hickory logs come from the Mississippi Tennessee area and then our reclaimed barnwood comes out of old tobacco barns down in Kentucky. For the Andersons it's the captures of the furniture that make Lonesome Cottage special. What makes us unique is our awesome craftsmen. We have such a great team of people who work so hard and are just a great group of people. Each one of them specialize in a particular area and they get really proficient with it and we've got a great team. Lonesome Cottage has grown from a small store to supply and furniture to national parks and renowned hotels across the country and they hope to keep growing in the future. The future looks really bright for Lonesome Cottage and I expect that we'll continue to grow like we have the last 15 years. It's kind of exciting. It's kind of glamorous to say you get to supply things like Yellowstone National Park or the Mammoth Caves is another one but it's it's kind of fun and exciting. You know they're quite nowhere it's going to go. Reporting from Pequot Lakes with this week's in business Rachel Johnson, Lakeland News.
