These really do keep mosquitoes and black flies at bay. We have one beside us every evening during the spring and summer. There are hand held ones that are great for hiking or hunting but these ones that double as a cute lantern are perfect for the...
Thermacell 1 Count Patio Shield Deet Free Outdoor Lantern
If you’ve never made a grill cheese or s’mores sandwich is one of these over an open flame you’re missing out. This and a camp fire are a match made in heaven!
Rome Cast-Iron Square Pie Iron
This little speaker is perfect for an afternoon at the lake. Its compact (maybe 6inches long), has good sound quality and is resilient to being jostled around or dropped. It is also waterproof but aside from a light rain we’ve never tested the trut...
JBL - FLIP6 Portable Waterproof Speaker - Black
This portable speaker is even smaller than the flip 6 recommended above. It’s not much bigger than a deck of cards. We use this when we travel and in the hot tub or sauna. Volume is surprisingly loud for such a small speaker and the quality is real...
JBL - Go 4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - 2024 - Black
There are so many great choices of Yeti coolers - you really can’t go wrong with any of them. We like the size of this one - it fits some snacks and just the right amount of beverages!
The yeti coolers have superior insulation - even the soft side...
Hopper Flip® 8 Soft Cooler
Cooking at the Cottage
One of my favourite things is cooking over the fire at the cottage. This pot is huge so it will feed a crowd - or make enough chilli or stew that you have lots of leftovers - which is perfect for cottaging. The feet keep it up a bit from hot coals t...
Lodge 10-Qt. Cast Iron Camp Dutch Oven
One of my favourite things is cooking over the fire at the cottage. This pot is half the size of the 10qt one recommended above and is more suitable for making meals for smaller groups. It’s the perfect size to feed just my husband and I.
The feet...
Lodge 4-Qt. Cast Iron Camp Dutch Oven
This is the OG camping coffee percolator made by Cohglan. Its pretty basic and is certainly not pretty or fancy but when I tell you it makes good coffee…it makes really good coffee.
Im sure there are fancier coffee makers out there but I’ve made wh...
Coghlan's Aluminum 9-Cup Coffee Percolator
I love this weber bbq so much I have 3! Its a great size to feed a group with 4 burners and a warming rack above.
The lid is heavy and retains the heat very well - Ive used this bbq for baking on many occasions and it works just like an oven (mai...
Genesis E-415 Gas Grill (Liquid Propane)
Outdoor lounging
These are so warm and cozy for cold weather making camp fire season stretch all year long. They are well padded for comfort and insulation blocking cold wind from the sides and back.
We have had them for about 3 years and they are holding up well -...
PHI VILLA Folding Moon Camping Chair Heavy-Duty Saucer Chair With Carrying Bag Peacock Blue Pedded Chair THD-E01CC-410
We love our propane heater
It makes early morning coffee on the deck such a treat in spring and fall.
It kicks out significant heat and the ‘lid’ really helps deflect it downward. We often run it on low as it really does put out alot of heat.
A ...
PamaPic 48000 BTU Commercial Propane Black Outdoor Heater with Cover PH-LH-WH3
Is it even a cottage without a hammock. There are lots of great hammocks out there but we like these ones because they are lightweight, quick drying and can easily be installed with the included ropes. The carrying case is sewn right on it making i...
Vivere PAR2 Chocolate/Turquoise Fabric Hammock
These are so cool
They fit a regular Muskoka/Adirondack chair. One side is fleece and the other is lined with a waterproof material. They are machine washable and fold up easy.
Love them!
The Chair Blanket
Yard Games and Good Vibes
This yard game is so so fun. You need 4 people to play and mild injury is not out of the question but its so worth it.
You work in teams - one at each end of the court. One person throws the frisbee with the intent to hit or land in the bin to acc...
Kan Jam Ultimate Disc Game - Official
If you haven’t played Kubb yet you have to try!
The object of the game is to knock down blocks of wood with dowels of wood to accumulate points. It takes 4 people in teams of 2.
Its one of those games that you need to play to learn and it can see ...

Being at the cottage means being comfy. Wether lounging at the waterfront during a hot summer day, sitting around a crackling fire in the evening, or snuggling up on a blustery winter day you always need something comfortable and functional to wear....
