These aren’t cottages, they’re lakeside family compounds.

Joan doesn't have a cottage, she has a "family compound." IE, a set of cottages that are all expansive and luxe enough to be B&Bs.

Have you ever canoed around a lake and thought you spotted a cottage until you realized it was just a really swaggy boat house? Yeah, Joan's got a whole set of those.

Seriously. This is a boat house! We don't even want to know how many it sleeps.

Basically, her boat house is big enough to host its very own Molson Canadian Canada Day commercial.

The grounds are beautiful, too – all flower bushes and greenery. (And no expenses spared for the grounds around the guests houses.)

Then there's Joan's island. Her ISLAND. Which she bought "just because it was available."

This is what Joan refers to as "a little place for her to escape to." And we're pretty sure that means the island is *just for Joan* like, that she just uses it whenever she wants to get away from her family and ready trashy magazines in silence.

A boat ride away: Casa De Kara, the Alloway family cottage. We're going to ignore the Birkenstock snobbery of Kara saying she was "born in" to a cottage in Muskoka, because, well: she has a pretty great lakeside cottage.
BTW, Kara's cottage stats: three buildings, seven acres, and it sleeps 20!

Set dressing or not, the hand made cedar strip row boat Kara has displayed out in front of her cottage is ambiance worthy of a Cottage Life spread.

Another boathouse that would be snapped up in a second as an Airbnb listing.

Ann
Ann has multiple cottages too – enough that she has Roxy's whole family come and stay with her at one of her guest cottages.
As for aesthetics, it's all Town & Country – none of these women subscribe to the quirky, lived in woods aesthetic. Like the other ladies' places, this is firmly a cottage, not a cabin.

Let's zoom back and get a nice look at the property.
Who wouldn't want to spend the weekend?

And, of course, the dock has plenty of room for your seaplane.
