This Multi-Generational Family Loves Their Lakefront Cottage!

Our meeting you at that Cottage Life Show many years ago was the perfect beginning to our building the timber frame on Desert Lake.

We still love the house today as much as we did the first day we moved into it in June of 2010.

"Hi Bert, Nice to hear from you,  

You probably noticed that I visited the Cottage Life Show. I wanted to see what the virtual event looked like. It certainly isn’t ideal compared to an in person visit but it looks like everyone is trying to make the best of the current COVID restrictions. I’m sure a lot of work went into the planning of the virtual event. 

I looked at your site and hope that business is going well for you and your brother. We are all doing fine and this would have been our 11th season since we moved into the Desert Lake house.Unfortunately due to the pandemic and travel restrictions we were not able to use the cottage. The last time anyone was there was in January so an entire year lost due to the pandemic. 


 

We kept hoping that the governments monthly review this year would finally give way to an opening of the border but no such luck. I had hoped that perhaps there would have been some sort of exemption for property owners but up to now that hasn’t happened. We were prepared to quarantine for the entire summer there if necessary.  


 I tried to figure out how we could somehow make a visit under the guise of ‘essential business’ but no luck. Anyway we are hopeful that as soon as the boarder is opened back up we can get there and enjoy it even more. Certainly not being able to go has made us want to be there all the more.

We continue to love the cottage/house and over the past 10 years have spent as much time as possible there.

I am now retired and my wife Mary Lou and I are able to spend the most time there through out the year enjoying all four seasons.   John and his family have also been able to spend a lot of time there. Our families work together well and the partnership has worked perfectly since the start. Between our kids and grandchildren it is such a special place. 

And true to the many Cottage Life stories of others the multi-generations of our family have enjoyed it more than one can imagine. Our meeting you at that Cottage Life Show many years ago was the perfect beginning to our building the timber frame on Desert Lake. 

We still love the house today as much as we did the first day we moved into it in June of 2010. Thanks to you and your brother and everyone at Cedar Coast we are so very lucky to have worked with you to see our plans come together in such a wonderful way.
All the best to you and your brother and thanks for checking in.
