Last weekend we had a cottage getaway up north in Muskoka. Actually we first stopped by to visit some friends at their newly purchased cottage which was right on our way. They gave us a lovely barbecued lunch and a tour of their 1850's cottage. The plan is to build a new cottage on the site and preserve the existing building with its thick weathered pine floors. I must say it was very hot that day, we sweated.
Soon it was time to head out again to daughter L's boyfriend's family cottage where we would spend the rest of the weekend. I will post about that tomorrow.

Wonderful that they will rescue the old building!
Hugs, Susi
Beautiful cottage.
God bless.
Sounds lovely!
I love old cottages so it is a joy to hear that they will be preserving the old one~
That's a rustic cottage. Does it have running water and electricity? A kitchen? So many old houses like that did not do the cooking inside the main house but had a "cookhouse."
the room at the back was added later and it has a working kitchen. There is electricity.
sorry in this photo it is the room at the front, brown and weathered.
There's something about a cottage! I really miss ours.
love that cottage look and the area looks so relaxing! I am inclined towards wood cottages and cabins - probably because i live in the mountains near a lake however, my house i'm in is just dull old beigy yellow siding. I've always wanted wood stained look.
I would love to stay there. I spent one night in a rustic cabin many years ago and loved it. At the time of the year we went, I was glad for the extra blankets as I woke up with my teeth chattering. Loved the experience though and would do it again in a heartbeat
There's something special about cottages …
All the best Jan
I found this so fascinating dear Christine!
What an adorable looking place.
glad they are keeping the old cottage, too many just get torn down
Looks so peaceful there.
