We’re all for games at the cottage. What are you playing?

Getting soooo excited for all the spring bulbs to start blooming! Do you have a favorite?

The season’s cool mornings and evenings, coupled with comfortable mid-day temps and sunshine, are heavenly.. also perfect weather for a [mosquito-free 🦟] bonfire in the backyard while marveling at Lake Superior (really, this is fantastic any time of year!).

Picture of the dining area, as this light fixture garnered a lot of attention and inquiries in a recent story! She’s a beaut.💡

Since I was a kid I‘ve always loved fun, ‘fancy’ glasses no matter the occasion or liquid. Here’s a peek into one of the cupboards at the cottage to see some of the options available. The green ones (my favorite color, btw) being the latest addition from a local thrift store. Please share, do you pay attention to, or also enjoy, a fun, fancy glass?!
🥛🍺🍷🥃🥂🍸

Note: the ring-holding swan to the right of the sink was an original feature that we just love and kept (cabinets are original, too). It, unfortunately, suffered an injury while being removed to install the new window, but nothing a little glue couldn’t fix! 🦢💍

Where do you go, or what do you do, when life gets busy and you need to hit the brakes to slow it back down?

Personally, we’ve been living in the fast lane for several months now and we’re finally ready/able to reign it back in, prioritizing what’s most important, which means enjoying some time at the cottage. We used to get up monthly and it simply hasn’t been possible. I cannot wait to sit and stare at the water, walk the shoreline while the dogs explore and play, sit fireside, meander through the woods with the dogs darting about, and just to BE [there]. If we’re lucky, we’ll get to have some friends join for a night or two of cards and fun. Words cannot begin to express just how much I’m looking forward to this, it’ll recharge the batteries.🔋(Did you spot Norman?)

Anything we/I can share, or that you want to see, while we’re there?

When you travel, are you more:

- hunker down & hang-out where you are
- come prepared with a full plan & itinerary
- or possibly a mix of the two?

For cottage guests, we have a full ‘welcome guide’ that we’ve put together and share. It’s full of recommendations not only from us, but from previous guests and includes: restaurants, sight-seeing/hiking spots, a multitude of additional activity options nearby, apps (northern lights, ships, etc.), and more. We love hearing about guests who had every intention to get out and explore the area, but after they arrived they loved it so much that they just stayed right there.❣️

For us, we usually have a list of to-do tasks to chip away at around the cottage and the dogs are immediately running around to find and take in all the new smells outside. And, honestly, every time we turn down the driveway we’re so elated to be there that we tend to leave only when necessary!

It’s Friday!! I’m looking forward to watching the latest episode of ‘The Great British Baking Show’ while drinking a big cup of coffee in my pj’s tomorrow morning. A bonfire also sounds amazing with the fall temps returning. What are your weekend plans?

Here’s your reminder (and mine) to schedule those vacation days and spend the time with those you love in a place that you adore. Be like Norman, find a spot so comfy you take a lil’ snooze.

Another before and after to share, this time of the back of the cottage! That deck is the best thing ever, let me tell ya. (Thanks 😘!!)

We recently had a chance to head up and escape with friends, just for a night, who asked if we’ve had any guests who’ve stayed before and have been back since the renovation. We’re lucky enough to say yes and the feedback has been exceptional! We so appreciate all of our guests loving the cottage like it’s their own.

The process to make it shine like it was always meant to has been a long one, expensive, but ohhhhh so worth all the sweat, some blood, & definitely tears along the way!

Not sure what phase we’re on now, but more yet to come as we’re able to. For now, loving all of this!! ✨

It’s ’cuddle-up & get cozy’ weather! recently wrote an article about whether or not you should let your pet(s) sleep in bed with you. Being a pet-friendly place, and massive dog lovers ourselves, we certainly encourage it. Where do you fall? Do you sleep better with or without?

(Norman & Vivi hammed it up for the camera and are always invited up for snuggles.)

There’s just something about the fall weather that inspires a trip north, lakeside a ➕! This is bonfire and fav sweatshirt weather. Am I the only one who wants to jump right into this picture and grab one of those chairs!?

What are your weekend plans? Do they include sitting outside by a fire? Jealous if they’ve already started!

What’s In A Name // Having looked at properties every weekend for months on end, we saw quite a few that had been named, many times, quite cleverly so. (Viewpoint in Lutsen stands-out if any of you are familiar.) When we started to think of our own, we wanted a quaint, catchy ‘name’ for the cottage, so we looked to the property for inspiration. I can’t remember anymore what other options we threw around, but something significant is the abundance of burls on the trees! You’ll see them right as you turn down the driveway and on nearly every tree thereafter, hence the name Burlwood Cottage! Also fitting for us, as T is a carpenter, a true tradesman, and has a particular appreciation for burls and their beauty. 🤎🌲🌳

The tree pictured also serves as a resting place for what we use mainly as fire pit pokers, collected from the shoreline! Also great as a walking stick, or to help safely navigate accessing the private beach.

Are there any unique property names that you still remember?
