House tour: Casual contemporary cottage
A Toronto couple builds a contemporary Muskoka cottage that's all about family life: past, present and future.
Though this cottage is just a year old, it’s already steeped in tradition, which isn’t surprising given the homeowners’ long-time connection to the area. “My husband and I bought our first cottage, a small two-bedroom, on Ontario’s Lake Muskoka before we were married,” says one of the homeowners. “We brought our eldest son [the couple has four] there when he was only 10 days old,” she says.
The babies are now young men, and the original cottage design was eventually outgrown, but family time at the lake continues, with the couple happily settled into their third cottage: a 3,800-square-foot, five-bedroom, year-round retreat seamlessly nestled in the signature pink and grey rock of Muskoka. “The views here are incredible,” says one of the homeowners. “To the right is a provincial park, straight ahead is Lake Muskoka and to the left is our bay.” It was these picturesque vistas, as well as the privacy of the lot, that instantly spoke to the couple.
