Elegant Kawartha Suite Retreat at the Lake Edge Cottages!

Anne & Steve
Having both grown up in small Ontario communities, we met at Wilfrid Laurier University in 1988. Later, we moved to Toronto where we developed our corporate career/life while raising three children: Stephanie, Tyler, and Jakob.

As a family, we spent 18 summers camping with a tent trailer and exploring the great outdoors, charming towns, and a variety of fascinating wildlife from coast to coast with our children.

Our love of the great outdoors led us to acquire Lake Edge Cottages in 2019. We feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to host over 300 families each year at our beautiful vacation destination.

We purchased this property to establish a more balanced, semi-retirement lifestyle within a fun and relaxing environment - away from hustle and bustle of the city life.

We are fortunate to be able to extend this peaceful sanctuary to guests who are of the same mind, while taking time for themselves to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing, and restful vacation retreat.

At our core, we embrace three pillars: Humanity, demonstrated through exceptional service and competitive rates; Sustainability, where environmental consciousness and solar-powered initiatives drive our ethos; and Pet-Friendliness, warmly welcoming furry companions into our fold. These values guide our commitment to providing exceptional experiences, fostering a sustainable environment, and creating inclusive spaces where both guests and their beloved pets feel at home.
