We were both a bit freaked out, but I find this really intriguing as well as we live most of the time in the city and wild life is new to us.
We've owned our home for about 2 year and this was the first incident.
I am looking at this as a good omen, a beautiful gift.
Is your cottage in New Hampshire? We are close in proximity and live in the mountains.

Webgirl, welcome. Don't mean to scare you, but some of the "gifts" mice (and other rodents) can give us are listed in the sentence below from Wiki. I prefer mice outside the house..... Good luck!!
Some of the diseases the house mouse carries can be deadly: for example,
Leptospirosis,
Murine typhus,
Rickettsialpox,
Tularemia,
lymphocytic choriomeningitis [27] and potentially
Bubonic plague.
