Cottage life
With no cottage-owning pals to suck up to, we’d typically end up in some chintzed-to-the-hilt, bug infested, pine-packed rental on a swamp.
And then we discovered Four Lakes. This three bedroom gem in the heart of the Bruce Peninsula is utterly charming with papier-mâché roosters, hat boxes that double as tables, deco cabinets and persimmon coloured muskokas. The farm-style kitchen is gorgeous with massive windows that look out onto acres and acres of land.
The cottage comes loaded with books, magazines, board games and vintage Archie comics and it’s minutes away from Sauble Beach.
Of course, there are some floral fabrics about, but it wouldn’t be a cottage without chintz. —Athena Tsavliris
