Correct, the cottage in the story is a different one. It's "lost", never to be found again. The whole idea was abandoned, actually - BoLT is not to be considered canon, it's simply a collection of notes and sketches. A study of Tolkien's writing process.

The Lost Children of Men probably went into the woods and died... Only elves were allowed to Valinor(except for our heroes, of course [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img])

Also, Vaire and her husband are not of the Valar. Personally, I have an impression that they're either Maia or elves (I prefer the latter - anyone have the truth or other opinions?)
