Sheila found a listing for a cottage in February of 2012 on Crosby Lake's North Shore. We had started looking for a cottage in earnest after spending a lovely weekend at a cottage on Big Rideau. We had stopped looking (it was winter) when she happened to be poking around on realtor.ca and found the listing. We went up as soon as we could and put an offer in a day later.
The cottage itself was in solid shape with updated electrical, newer footings, decent plumbing and a fairly new roof. It's not big and it is not fancy but it has 115 feet of deep clean waterfront. Everything else, we figured, could be fixed.
