Cottage Rental Leads to Cottage Purchase
The notion of a cottage purchase or second home lifestyle change often evolves from a cottage rental, or visiting a friends cottage on a long
weekend or week long vacation. Regardless of the resort or cottage geographic destination, the idea of trying-out one of Ontario's classic cottages
chalets or cabins, or a new fractional ownership in cottage country is often accomplished with a cottage rental. See Types
of Cottages for links to more than 100 possible cottage country experiences.
Many private cottage rentals are available in cottage country and the new trends have incorporated terms such
as condo cottage rental, fractional cottages, cottage quarter share, cottage condos, cottage chalets, cottage time share and more.
Waterfront Lakeside Cottages
A dock, a boat and a real wood burning fireplace create the idyllic atmosphere for many cottage rentals, as well as purchases. There are as many
cottage rentals as there are lakes, rivers, and Ontario cottage destinations. Check our list of options tied directly to the many thousand Ontario
Lakes and Waterways.
