Keeping the cottage fun going all year round
The family cottage! Many families are lucky enough to have had the chance at a summer visit to cottage country. We are all familiar with the magical summer season that is filled with family, campfires, boating, swimming, hiking and the list goes on. For many, when they close the cottage after Thanksgiving, they head back to the city for the winter with dreams of the lake, trees & stars dancing through their minds. We can’t help but long for the cottage opening tradition that comes every spring. Opening the cottage is a Canadian tradition that has been shared for generations. A time for family and friends to head north where the air is clear and the sky is filled with dancing diamonds and multicolored northern light shows. The cottage links us to our past, grounds us in the present, and holds the promise of the future.
Winter at your Muskoka Cottage – make it part of your tradition!
Lake of Bays, Muskoka is a fabulous year round playground destination. Winter activities are plentiful and it’s easily a day trip from the city. As in the summer, it’s a trip to your other life, a chance to get away and get in touch with your inner soul. With plenty of local amenities, a day trip to the cottage gives the family the opportunity to visit their cherished cottage for a day, a weekend or a winter vacation week. Snow tube, snowmobile, ski, skate. Get the whole family involved in building a great snowman looking out to the lake. In the evening bundle up, light the campfire and indulge in campfire smores under the stars. This is your space to be free, to laugh, wind down, and be present in the moment.
Whether a tradition for generations or a new generation tradition…coming to the cottage in the winter is wonderful – it renews us and makes us so glad to be Canadian.
