Kitchen, Breakfast Bar or Family

Room? Families naturally gather in the heart of the cottage. This cozy version features many of the

owners’ personal design choices. Notice the tractor seats and ‘draft ready’ side bar. At this lake it’s

either ‘beer thirty’ or ‘wine o’clock’!

I want to wander from my main floor bedroom each morning, scooping up my coffee in the kitchen, moving on to meet friends in the dining room or family in the screen porch… guided all along by my treasured views of the lake. Please, CedarCoast, make it so!

How do you blend ‘cozy and comfy’ with ‘impressive on a grand scale’? CedarCoast can show you how to do just that. This extraordinary Great Room is proof. ‘

‘Look Ma, No Steps!’ This terrific, spacious bungalow features easy, smooth access for everyone at whatever age, from the front entrance to the backyard barbeque. We call this concept ‘multi-generational design’. Call Bert Bongers for details!

Welcome to this charming, all-season home whose entry is a warm, easy mix of woods, carefully chosen shingles and stone. Notice the chains bolted to the large rocks at either side of the portico… for smooth drainage of rain and melting snow.

Wake up to warm woods… or not. Perfect for lazy days when your natural lakeside setting beckons, but you’d rather relax, sleep or just lay back and watch the morning shows… no hurry here!

‘Where’s your family when it rains at the cottage?’ This is a familiar question from the CedarCoast Design Team. To accommodate and encourage their children’s reading, this family designed a reading room slightly apart from the hustle and bustle of family life.

Serving guests in the forest this morning? Whether inviting nature in or expanding your private version of comfort out, this Muskoka Room is designed for family, friends and quiet relaxation. Shhh… hear the sounds of the woods?

This contemporary kitchen is butter smooth, easy on the eyes and yet completely workable. That’s the polished island in the front of this photo, complete with extra sink and faucet. Very handy! The high cabinet lighting contributes to the bright, airy feeling.
