5 Reasons You Need a Cottage This Summer

Meet the Schmidt-Magas’ – they’re living their best cottage life less than 90 minutes from Edmonton city limits. They purchased a custom Jandel cottage and had it delivered to their property in Raymond Shores on Gull Lake. We paid them a visit last summer to see how they’ve been settling in and we’re delighted to get acquainted with their community.

Cottage life is alive and well in Alberta and we want to share 5 reasons why you should consider living the Alberta Cottage Life this summer!

3. A chance to rest… if you need it.

Imagine being the captain of your very own ship out at the cottage. Need to relax for a few days? Head to the backyard in your hammock and let the birds sing you to sleep. Need to let loose? Take the party to your front porch and invite your neighbours over for a margarita. Have your cottage life, your way. The options are truly endless when you’re living the Cottage Life!

4. Space to breathe without losing amenities

Cottage life gives you a unique opportunity to escape the city living without losing the convenience of local amenities. For example, the Schmidt-Magas family chose to put their custom Jandel Home down at Gull Lake, which is under 30 minutes from four local towns. With a cottage home like this, the coffee goes down extra smooth. Rest assured knowing you’re just a short distance away if you run out of beans!
