Welcome Spring! Our Spring 2021 issue is blooming with lots to read while you savour those first warm afternoons on the deck. On our cover, tour a stunning Georgian Bay lakeside home designed to celebrate the breathtaking views on every side. Just don’t call it a cottage, says CM publisher Todd Adair – the “cottage” is dead. Well, to be precise, the traditional notion of a cottage, as a semi-primitive hut deep in the woods, is dead. Nowadays, a cottage can be anything from a small home by the water to a lavish mansion with every luxury; cottaging is really a state of mind, not a particular dwelling. And don’t miss the first part of our exciting new series, which follows the construction of a brand-new Muskoka cottage. Er, lakeside home. Er, summer house. Whatever you want to call it, enjoy – along with the region’s most complete listings of beautiful luxury properties!
