CO doesn't kill because of asphyxiation. It fixates on the blood cells and prevents them to work correctly. That's why it's called intoxication/poisoning.
OP cottage isn't a hermetic minuscule vault, the gas outflow would never asphyxiate anyone, because there is an enormous oxygen volume and because the place isn't perfectly hermetic from the outside air. It's almost like saying the CO2 created by their breathing could have killed them. And once again the smell would wake anyone up way before the level of oxygen is low enough to be damaging.
