Cottage: The Definition
July 28th, 2008
There appears to be a considerable amount of confusion amongst the people in southern Ontario as to where they have been spending their weekends. I hope this helps clear things up…
- Camping: There is no permanent structure, no running water, no electricity.
- Cabin: No running water, might have electricity. Structure is permanent
- Cottage: Running water, electricity, permanent building
- Summer Home: This is a cottage that has either a) a dishwasher or b) clothes washer/dryer
That’s right, if you have a machine to do your laundry or your dishes in your ‘cottage’ you are actually at your summer home. You are not roughing it in any way, shape or form. I am also probably jealous of you. Unless you ride a jetski a lot. In which case you are probably a dick.

Special Pat Smith Addendum:
If your cottage has a flat screen HDTV and the exterior has accent lighting it is for serious, really, totally not at all a cottage.
