Winter Canadian Cottage Tour

Come join us for Canadian Cottage tour in winter as we showcase the property we rented for a holiday retreat with family at Seeley's Bay nearby Kingston, Ontario. The log cottage was the perfect size for the whole family as it comfortably fit 8 adults including Audrey's Mom and Dad, two sisters, family friend, brother inlaw and me. Vacationing there over the Christmas holidays meant we huddled by the wood burning stove for entertainment, conversation, snacks and games. With more rooms than bodies to fill them we all comfortably got our own rooms. Some of our favorite features of this three story cottage included a huge living room, game room (both upstairs and downstairs) an enormous kitchen and picture perfect views from the balcony overlooking the frozen lake. It truly was a winter wonderland escape and the type of vacation we'll hopefully take more in the future.

Winter Canadian Cottage Tour Video Transcript:
Good morning guys. It is -30 below here in Canada and I can feel the insides of my nostrils freezing. I feel like icicles are forming and my lips are freezing so I can't even speak properly. Today we are going to give you guys a cottage tour as part of our winter vacation. A beautiful log cabin so we spending eight nights here out in the forest. We are like 30 minutes north of Kingston and Seeley's Bay. We are by a lake. I'm getting mauled by the dog Togo. The German Shepherd.
This video is going to be the cabin tour because it is a beautiful home. Let's go inside before we freeze, take our layers off and we'll begin the tour. Come along Togo.
We've got my parents hanging out. They are escaping. Sorry we were going. They are running away out the living room. Now they're running away. This is the living area. This is where we've been hanging out every single day. We have this massive fireplace that heats up the whole space. I would say this is probably my favorite part of the house. Like the dog is the smartest one in the house. It ends up sleeping here at night. It just curls up on the blanket right in front of the fireplace.
Then we have this um like open kitchen and dining area. Yep. So we have this massive table like with banquets. We're going to be eight people later this week and it has been perfectly fine.
This looks like an old canoe that has been turned into a wine rack. We went to the LCBO before coming out here and we bought enough wine for what we thought would be 8 days.
We have 2 bedrooms on this floor and double beds in every single room. As you can see basically the whole house is just these massive logs as their walls. It feels so cozy and toasty in here.
We have a giant telescope and a bathroom here on the ground floor. This is 3 levels. There is a basement and there is also an upstairs too.
Let's start with the game room. We've been spending a bit of time up here actually because this place is stalked with board games. We have a collection of like yeah puzzles, monopoly, trivial pursuit. We've been playing games at night.
I forget how many bedrooms there are but it can sleep 10 people. We can fit 10 people. 10 people and that is not like sleeping on the couch or anything like some of these. No you've got your own room your own bed.
Last spot to show you guys is the balcony which probably has two feet of snow. We haven't really been shoveling here. And a dog right in front of us. We'll show you the views. We've got the lake right there. This must be beautiful in the summertime. We also have a barbecue.
So we'll leave you with views, icicles and a few shots of me shoveling the snow. And Togo my dog playing in the snow.
This is part of our Travel in Canada video series showcasing Canadian food, Canadian culture and Canadian cuisine.
