Ontario Cottages
What Type of Cottage Are You Looking For?
Ontario
Cottage rentals are a year round ritual for Toronto residents vacationing
north of Toronto in what is often described as "cottage country".
Summer in Ontario is the traditional cottage rental time. A spring or
summer rental is often highlighted with an overnight cottage or chalet
experience with friends, or family or couples getaways can choose a variety
of cottage rental accommodation. Many cottages today vary in terms of
lakeside or forest setting. There are many options from romantic cottages
with fireplace, hot tub and jacuzzi for two or a Honeymoon couples cottage.
Small groups of 10 or more guests with several bedrooms for large families
or larger groups for their Ontario
summer vacation holiday or extended summer family cottage vacation.
Many residents prefer a more rustic cottage or cabin rental. See cottage
country.

Cottage visitors unfamiliar with geographic destinations can view Ontario's
Cottage country resort destinations where they will learn about Ontario's
various locations for cottages on Ontario lakes. The notion of a cottage
vacation, cottage retreat, owning a cottage, having a regular cottage
rental almost considered a right of Ontario residents, and is the major
vacation getaway escape north of Toronto. |

Cottaging,
or going to the cottage, might be considered as the favorite Ontario leisure
time activity. The question "Where are you going for the weekend?"
when answered "to the cottage", can mean anything from a cabin
in or near Algonquin Park, to a private
rental on an isolated Lake, to summer in Muskoka, Wasaga Beach, or
Georgian Bay, or Haliburton. A trend today is to a more luxury cottage
resort, usually by a lake, somewhere north. During the winter season
cottages can accommodate snowmobiliers, skiers, snowboarders, snowtubing
families, or girls getaway weekends. During the summer it could mean a
chalet rental in Collingwood. It usually
implies swimming, golfing, boating, beer consumption, water skiing, wakeboarding,
more beer consumption, card games, sunshine, sun tans, bathing suites,
birthday suites, canoeing, kayaking, wine consumption, BBQ's, friends
and family fun, or any number of activities associated with accommodation
by a lake where the informal setting means rest and relaxation. The May
24 weekend signals the start to cottage season in Ontario and ends for
the seasonal cottager on the Labour Day Weekend or the Canadian Thanksgiving
weekend. Many consider a cottage vacation similar to a cottage retreat,
or quiet cottage getaway.Cottages today come in various sizes, amenities,
bathroom types, and number of bedrooms. Many people own private cottages,
and rent them out, where the vast majority of Ontario residents are looking
for cottage rentals, or cottage resorts mostly for a week of cottaging
up north or just for a weekend getaway with friends or family. The newest
trend in cottaging is fractional cottage ownership where one can rent
a luxury fractional residence,
or share in the purchase of a cottage usually
in a block of 5 weeks.
Cottage Shows in Toronto
One of the best places to assess the scale and scope of cottage country
and the many varieties of cottage accommodation is the CottageLife
Show held every spring and fall in Toronto.
