It's close to our home, so we can easily spend the weekend away at the lake. When we cross the 'Mighty Mac', we feel as if we literally (and figuratively) leave one place and enter another.
The area appeals to us because it is low-key and simple.
The cottage is off the beaten track, but it still has the basics covered (running water, electricity, indoor plumbing).
The setting is very relaxing and peaceful.
When you are here, you won't be overwhelmed with commercial offerings. For us, being lakeside, away from it all, helps us 'circle the wagons' and pay attention to each other!
