Sears kit houses

I have recently gotten interested in Sears kit houses. A number of people have said that they own one. I haven't been able to find pictures of cottages but have pictures of houses. Does anyone know of any in the Lakes Region? The pieces were numbered and arrived by rr with a 75 page instruction book. Sears offered 75% loans for 15 year as opposed to 50% for 7 years by banks. Sears knew that home owners would buy more from their catalog than appartment dwellers. Kind of interesting! Thank for any infor you might have.
