Diary of an Annual Dock Dweller

Tom Hnatiw

There are all manner of cosmopolitans, urbanites, busy suburban families, retired couples with loads of kids and grandchildren who for one or two weeks per year, become Ontario cottage dock dwellers.

They have no equity, responsibility, distraction or worry for the real estate....certainly not for the dock from which they derive such memorable joy. They are Ontario cottage renters. And there are hundreds of thousands of them. And they have a secret.

They have embraced the joy in spending a week or two in one of the most lovely and remarkable vacation sites anywhere in the world. They have experienced the sheer beauty and solitude, a distinctive Canadian concept only Ontario Cottage Country can offer.

And central within this exclusive experience is the dock. Swimming at dawn, dusk and midnight in cool, refreshing and pristine water. Water sports, fishing, paddling, floating, bird watching and especially that distinctive Ontario distraction, staring at the lake, the trees, the rocks, the wildlife. No time involved. No worries. No connection to urban reality.

All of these things and more are all a part of simply being at the end of a simple dock on a gorgeous lake and in a glorious place.

Simple.

Gorgeous.

And there is barbeque, cocktails and lakeside moments of solitude or better still, sharing with just that special someone.

The dock is an Ontario icon. Jutting into a primordial miracle, ancient, cool and clear, the dock offers a platform from which to enjoy the very best of what Ontario cottage rental companies have to offer.

Certainly, they also offer accommodations to go with the dock from fundamental to elite, but the true dock dweller focuses first upon the primal need to connect to the water. They zero in on that distinctly Ontario concept...Family on the dock enjoying each other and enjoying a vacation destination which is hugely popular and in demand from Toronto to Tel Aviv.

How do they do it?

There is a company that is expert in delivering the Ontario "on the dock" experience. Begin with www.atthelakecottagerentals.com.

I can assure you of this.

They GET what an Ontario Dock Dweller is. They practically created the concept.
