壮大な湖の景色を望むオリジナルのShawnigan Lake Cottage！

Strathcona Cottage is one of the original cottages left on the lake. It has seen the lake change from a rural resort area to bedroom community of Victoria. With nearly 100 years of sitting on, this house has seen many changes from a caretakers house (E.J Hughes parents lived in this house when they were care takers for the great Strathcona Lodge) to a pottery studio to now a family cottage. Kick up your feet and relax on either our leather comfortable couches in the cottage or on the dock watching osprey make their nests or take out the double kayak to the estuary to the right of the dock or around the lake. In our bay we have varieties of wild life from Bald Eagles, beavers (that chewed one of our trees on the water front property), mink, fish and birds and so much more. We also have, memorabilia, of what was just trash when Dunsmuir built the E & N Railway in 1886 to objects of interests now. The great painter E.J. Hughes (whose paintings hand in the National Gallery of Art in Ottawa) lived next door and painted from his bedroom window many paintings of the lake. You will be able to see replica's in our cottage. It is a wonderful place to spend your time at.
