There’s a cottage country coup going on in every milieu of the marketplace. Need evidence?
There seems to be some confusion between the lot of cottage country living quarters. You say tom-ay-to, we say tom-ah-to; British Columbians say cabin, Nova Scotians say cottage. In many cases the confusion is a case of contrasting coastal jargon, but in some cases there are distinct differences between backcountry dwellings. With chalet season upon us and cottage season on deck, we figure it’s about time to put the uncertainty to rest once and for all. Without further adieu, the Holiday Rentals Network presents a backcountry bible: a definitive guide to cottage country accommodations.
Not only do these items make great gifts for cottage owners, but these goodies are also perfect for all them city folk who want to add some cottage country comforts to their metropolitan way of life.
Thank you Rose Reisman for sharing this awesome recipe that shakes up a campfire classic!
Pioneer: a person who is among the first to develop a new area of knowledge or activity.
It is the great pioneers of our Canadian past who paved the path to cottage country, and thanks to their trailblazing ways we still get to go to bed in the bush. While times have modernized – we no longer use flint to build campfires – the close relationship between pioneers and cottage country remains. As such, we dreamed up Cottage Confidential, a behind-the-scenes look at modern-day pioneers and their cultural connection to cottage country. Cottage country is more than a travel destination: it is deeply embedded in Canadian culture and its societal significance makes it a great topic for conversation.
When selecting our first subject, it was a no-brainer that we would track down Rose Reisman. Rose is a pioneering businesswoman who holds a special place in the Canadian community, and when it comes to cottage life, she has a wealth of experience and knowledge.
