Cottage Living

Thank goodness it's Friday! This week has been long. Our pup was neutered on Wednesday so I've spent the last couple days tending to him while working full time. I'm ready for the weekend.

Tonight I'm heading north with my girl friends for our annual cottage weekend. No we're not going to go for long hikes around the lake or enjoy the beautiful scenary cottage country in the fall has the offer. We're going to be sitting inside around the fire place, talking until our jaws hurt, eating junk food and drinking too much wine. Well I'll be skipping out on the wine part, but you get the idea.

I figure in honour of the fabulous girls weekend I have in store I'd share with you a gorgeous cottage in the Muskokas. No we're not staying here but that doesn't mean a girl can't dream.

Check this place out. This 7,000 sq ft cottage over looks Lake Muskoka, has a wine cellar, a gourmet kitchen, 5 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms. Do you really need much more?

Is this not amazing! Could you not see yourself spending the summer rest of your life in his stunning cottage!

Have a great weekend!

Cottage Rentals

I don't know about you but I am in dire need of a weekend at a cottage. Myself, Michael and two friends of ours decided on Sunday night that we want to rent a cottage next weekend - August long weekend. Needless to say I have been emailing and posting ads like a crazy women! We have two cottages on hold right now; we're just confirming numbers on our end, seeing if any other friends will be joining us.

When it comes to booking a cottage last minute you can't be overly picking but there are things that I/we won't compromise on.
1) Waterfront: I need a dock and a lake at my fingers tips!
2) Dog friendly: Our friends have a dog they're bringing.
3) At least double beds in the rooms - single beds just won't do!
4) Electricity and an indoor toilet. If I wanted to go camping I would.

What are things you won't compromise on when cottaging?

It's Cottage Season

I love heading north to a cottage a couple times a year. Unfortunately my family doesn't own a cottage and I'm not super close with anyone who does but I love it nonetheless. I thought I'd share some gorgeous cottage pictures to get us in the summer spirit!

Do you have a cottage or a friend who you can tag along with frequently? Have you done a neat reno on the cottage?? I'd love to hear about it!

Enjoy the Party,

Nicole :)
