As I mentioned in my Sherwood Forest Camp
article, my parents had other plans. I didn’t know at that time, while I was “camping”,
they were looking for a cottage to buy. You might remember from a previous
article that we had built a “prefab” cottage on Matabanick land.
I think that owning a cottage on their own land was something they dreamed of.
It’s not that they hated the “Mat” and the Arches. In fact, they
were close friends. They just wanted their own property and they wanted it to
be close to the Matabanick Inn. The Archer’s actually helped my parents with
their search. They suggested a new Haliburton cottage development on Kennisis
Lake. They eventually found a cottage that they liked and were going to put an
offer on it. To solidify their choice, they took a trip to the cottage lot.
Along the way my mother spotted a “BEAR”! The was the “END” of
their Haliburton/Kennisis dream. My mother didn’t want to “scar”
bears with a “pot” like their friend with the cottage in Algonquin Park!
They still wanted their own cottage, but not in the
Haliburton “untamed forest”. They want something more civilized!
Enter the “Wilsons, Baysville and the White Burn cottages”
Stay tuned for the “rest” of The
Cottage Search story, Lake of Bays!
