What to Expect When You Visit Our Cottage Resort in Spring

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 17:12:07 GMT

By the middle of February, Ontarians have had enough of winter. At this point in the cold and snow, we’re done with bundling up and shovelling. A lot of us head to warmer climates, Anne and I included. Everywhere you go, people talk about how they are ready for spring. We sure are at Lake Edge Cottages!

Spring in the Kawarthas is a beautiful time; it feels like everything is coming to life again. The sound of the chickadees greets you as you walk the trails. Butterflies flutter around and buds pop out on trees, followed by spring blossoms. Each warmer day is a reason to celebrate. Migratory birds return to their summer home, and turtles come out to nest.

The Perfect Time for a Short Getaway

Spring is a great time to get away to cottage country and have a cottage resort getaway. If you are someone who prefers a shorter stay or a weekend getaway, then spring is a great option because we offer shorter stays in the shoulder seasons, both in spring and in fall.

There are plenty more benefits to a spring getaway to the Kawarthas, from milder temperatures to the peacefulness on the lake and on the highways to the activities you can enjoy and the nature you can take in.

If your perfect day is not too hot, not too cold, then spring is your season at a cottage resort in the Kawarthas. We offer two cottages with hot tubs, which are thoroughly enjoyed by our guests in the spring temps. There are also many great restaurant patios around that are perfect for a warm sunny spring day, such as Lock 27 Tap and Grill in Young’s Point, The Loon Restaurant in Lakefield, and Mainstreet Landing in Buckhorn.

A Beautiful Season for Birding, Wildlife & Photography

Spring is also one of the best times of year for birding and wildlife viewing in the Kawarthas. As migration season begins, warblers, herons, and waterfowl return to the lakes and wetlands. Early mornings often bring a soft mist rising off the water, creating calm reflections that photographers love.

If you enjoy taking nature shots, this is a special time to visit. The light is gentle, the landscape is fresh with new growth, and wildlife is active. Whether it’s turtles nesting, a great blue heron lifting off from the shoreline, or a kayak gliding across still water, spring offers peaceful, photogenic moments everywhere you look.

Fewer Bugs, More Comfort

In our area we don’t need to worry about black flies, and we spray for mosquitoes on the grounds around the cottages (pet-friendly and eco-friendly spray). However, the hiking trails in the Kawarthas can get quite mosquitoey in the summer. Spring is a great time to enjoy a hike without worrying about pests.

A Dream Season for Anglers

The Kawarthas are known for fantastic fishing, with over 250 lakes and rivers. Spring is an exciting time for anglers as the temperatures get warmer and more fish seasons open. Trout fishing opens at the end of April, walleye in May, muskie and bass in June. You can enjoy shore fishing or rent out one of our boats to find your own secret fishing spot. If you want to know more about fishing in the Kawarthas we have a whole fishing page here.

There is just something peaceful about fishing this time of year. There are not as many boats zipping around, you can relax and enjoy the meditative nature of the sport.

A Quieter Drive, A Slower Pace

There is something refreshing about travelling to cottage country in the spring. Highways are quieter, the rush north hasn’t fully begun, and the drive feels easy. However, the Kawarthas offer an easier drive even in the summer! While many summer cottagers head north on Highway 400, our guests cruise northeast, and for an even smoother route, Highway 407 connects directly to the 115.

Why arrive stressed from traffic when your getaway is meant to restore you?

A Season to Recharge

These are just a few reasons why the Kawarthas bloom in the spring and why we love this time of year at Lake Edge Cottages. It’s watching the peaceful kayaks on the lake, or taking the boat for a cruise through the locks once the Trent-Severn Waterway opens. Discovering shops in the neighbouring towns and taking some much earned “you time” after a hard winter. Summer gets hectic with scheduling and the effort to pack in as much fun in as possible. Spring is a time to recharge—and what better way than in nature with a perfect lake view.

What to Pack for a Stay at a Pet-Friendly Cottage Resort in Ontario

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 16:21:35 GMT

A pet-friendly cottage resort is the perfect getaway for the whole family, including your furry friends! No need to worry about a pet sitter—at Lake Edge Cottages, we welcome pets with open arms. Our peaceful lakeside cottages in the Kawarthas combine rustic charm with a commitment to eco-friendly practices, making both you and your pet feel right at home.

We are the perfect middle option between a full-service resort and a privately owned cottage rental. It feels like you've rented your own little cottage, but you don’t need to pack everything, including the kitchen sink, with you. Our cottages are well equipped with bed and kitchen linens. You don’t need to worry about bringing your own toilet paper, and we even supply bath robes for the units with hot tubs. You can find our full list of amenities here to give you an idea of what is supplied.

However, what do you pack for your four-legged friend at a pet-friendly cottage resort? We offer your pets lots of space to explore, a shoreline to splash in, and most of the cottages have dog-gated decks, but there are some things you will need to bring along with you to ensure the best possible stay for you and your pet.

Your Home Away from Home

Pets feel most comfortable with familiar scents and surroundings. They might feel uneasy sleeping somewhere away from home. Bring some of their creature comforts, like their crate or bed, and a favourite toy or blanket, so they have a comfortable, familiar place to sleep.

Creatures of Habit

Pets are creatures of habit and love routine. You’ll want to make sure you bring along their regular food, food bowl, and water bowl. Measure out the correct amount of food for your entire stay and bring a little extra, just in case. Running out of your pet’s usual food and switching brands or flavours can upset their stomach and cause unwanted messes.

We have lots of trails for your dog’s daily walk, so be sure to pack their leash, poop bags, and treat pouch. For cats, you’ll want to make sure their bathroom time is comfortable with their litter box, scoop and kitty litter.

Four-Pawed Adventures

Our pet-friendly cottage resort has lots of space for your furry friend to enjoy some adventures, from hiking trails to swimming in the lake. For lake swims, bring beach towels for yourself and one for your pup, too! This will come in handy for dirty, wet paws. The same goes for your feline friends, even if they don’t like swimming, they’ll appreciate a towel to dry off their paws.

It is highly recommended to bring a dog life jacket if you plan to go out in the boat with your dog—safety first!

You’ll feel at ease knowing our grounds are sprayed with a natural, eco- and pet-friendly product for mosquitoes, so there is nothing toxic to pets that is sprayed. Our wooded trails, turtle/frog pond, and forest areas aren’t sprayed, so bringing pet-safe mosquito repellent is recommended when exploring those areas.

Paws & Provisions

Even the most prepared pet parents forget a thing or two, and that’s okay! For treats, leashes, food, toys, and more, Village Pet Food and Supply in nearby Lakefield has you covered. Need a vet? Village Animal Hospital is on-call after hours, and Peterborough offers the Kawartha Veterinary Emergency Clinic, a 24-hour emergency vet just 30 minutes away. For grooming beyond a lake dip, check out the Paw Spa or the DIY Dog Wash at Pet Styling by Becki in Peterborough.

We want your stay with us to be as relaxing and peaceful as possible, for both you and your furry friend. Cats and dogs love their time here so much that owners tell us their pets start to recognize the drive to the resort. As you head down the country road, tails are wagging! It’s such a joy to watch them leap out of the car, taking in the familiar scents and sights of past visits, returning to their home away from home in the Kawarthas.

What It’s Like Staying at a Pet-Friendly Cottage Resort in the Kawarthas

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 15:34:34 GMT

Lake Edge Cottages is a pet-friendly resort on Katchawanooka Lake in the Kawarthas. The resort has a long history of being pet-friendly, beginning well before our family took over in 2019. It was part of what made this place special, and the reason so many guests return year after year. We loved the concept and felt it aligned with our values.

If you have a furry friend yourself, you know that pets are a part of your family, and we want everyone in your family to enjoy your cottage getaway and feel included. It can be stressful trying to find a pet sitter or find accommodations that are actually pet friendly. Lake Edge Cottages is a relaxing and tranquil place for you to enjoy with your pet. There is no awkward moment of wondering if your pet is accepted; pets are a part of everyday life here.

For the dog parents, finding a place to walk your pup is no problem on our 12.5-acre property. Hiking trails wind through the forest and around a marshland area, giving your dog plenty of space for a good old-fashioned sniff safari. And when the sun is shining, many dogs can’t resist heading for the water. You and your pup are welcome to swim anywhere along our 450-foot shoreline—just be mindful of our two-legged swimmers, especially the smaller ones.

One thing our guests appreciate is that they don’t have to worry about poorly behaved dogs. We ask that you ensure all dogs staying with us are socialized and under control, whether on or off leash.

Each one of our cottages has a pet-themed name, such as Hush Puppy, Cat Tails, Dog Daze, and Puppy Love. While we love our four-legged friends, we do have a no paws on the beds and couch policy, so be sure to bring your pet’s bed from home. Your furry friend will thank you for this, as the familiar home scent will help them settle comfortably. If you are looking for other suggestions on what to pack for your pet, check out our other blog, What to Pack for a Stay at a Pet-Friendly Cottage Resort , and don’t forget to download our customized pet packing lists, The Pooch Packing List and Meow Must Haves !

Lake Edge Cottages is a nice base to explore the Kawarthas, and there are plenty of pet-friendly places nearby. Here are a few areas within a close drive from Lake Edge:

Young’s Point is just around the corner from us and is a great place to go on a stroll with your puppers. The Young’s Point conservation area has a short scenic loop trail that gives you views of Lock 27. The lock is a great place to people-watch with an ice cream from Lockside Trading Company, a pet-friendly retail store geared towards the cottager. Just south of the Young’s Point Lock on Young’s Point Road is the Cheeky Duck Vineyard . This is a truly unique place to visit with elevated farm-to-table dining. They have a pet-friendly outdoor area, but be aware there’ll be farm friends roaming around, such as pigs and the cheeky ducks themselves.

Buckhorn is a lovely area to drive to. You can watch the boats go through the locks, grab a coffee and snack at the Boathouse Boutique , and enjoy their pet-friendly patio. Take a hike on the Mississauga River Loop trail in Kawartha Highlands, or taste some fruit wine with your pet at nearby Kawartha Country Wines . Next door, Belly’s Lakeside Bar and Restaurant has a pet-friendly patio with gorgeous lake views. We suggest giving their socials a follow as they love to post pics of their four-legged visitors with their pup of the week feature.

Hobart’s Lighthouse on Stoney Lake, just 15 minutes from us accommodate pets on their outdoor patio, as many diners will arrive by boat with their pets in tow. This restaurant offers stunning views of the lake that is known for its prestigious lakefront properties and private island cottages.

South of us, Lakefield is a charming town to explore. The only pet-friendly patio to note is the Canoe and Paddle , so take that into consideration. The town has some great shops to browse, and there is a walking trail that meanders along the Otonabee River.

Fresh air and lake views are just as good for our souls as they are for our pets, and staying somewhere that welcomes the whole family simply makes the experience more relaxed, more connected, and more memorable.

Thanking our Partners

Thu, 17 Aug 2023 15:54:53 GMT

As a final chapter to our Sun Dog blog, it would be amiss without acknowledging our family’s sincere gratitude to our business and tourism partners who made our transition from hydro to solar energy, a very successful and rewarding journey for all who were involved. To show our appreciation we hosted everyone for a ribbon cutting ceremony, tour, and lunch at our property in Lakefield.

Attendees included:

⦁ Martina Chait-Hartwig, Township Clerk – Representing our local Mayor Heather Watson, Township of Douro Dummer
⦁ Joe Rees, Director of Tourism for Peterborough and the Kawartha’s Economic Development
⦁ Tegan Moss, Executive Director, GreenUp, and Jackie Donaldson, Lili Paradi – GreenUp Economy Peterborough
⦁ Paulette Prentice, Director General FedDev Southern Ontario – Representing the Honourable MP Filomena Tassi
⦁ JP Pawliu and Simon Boone – owners of Generation Solar
⦁ Rob Irwin and Mark Davidson- Whippletree
⦁ Jessica Gordon – Peterborough Chamber of Commerce
⦁ Steve, Anne and Jakob Wildfong – Owners, Lake Edge Cottages
⦁ Long-term guests of Lake Edge Cottages

The media coverage included: Global News, and a variety of others:

As of this writing, we are well on track to meet the solar generation targets that will give back 110% of our traditional hydro annual burn rate. This brings to mind other, less obvious benefits, such as:

helping Hydro One and our community, by giving them access to our excess energy that we produce during the warmer seasons, which reduces stress from the grid. The amount of electricity that Hydro borrows from us is measured ongoing and reported on our monthly statement as a month/month accumulated credit owing back to us. This accumulated ‘tax-free’ credit is then used by us during the cooler months of year when we produce less (due to less daylight hours, snow on the roof, cloudy days, etc.)
Sun-Dog also provides a clean energy foundation to build upon as we go forward – such as EV charging, and using more electric heat over gas during the cooler months, purchasing an electric vehicle.
And, our positive client feedback so far has been phenomenal, as they feel good knowing that we’re investing progressively in the future of Lake Edge Cottages and the future generations to follow.
Overall, this project has been a very positive experience for my family. Our children (now adults), muse at seeing their parents in the news and on tv, while making a positive impact within our local tourism, business and client communities.

Looking back, I would do it all again. As I mentioned to the media: This isn’t just about preserving our past, but also giving hope to our younger generations.

A Rewarding Experience

Thu, 18 May 2023 15:52:34 GMT

As a member of GreenUp Peterborough Economy, we were both humbled and honoured when we were called up to accept a Sustainability Award at the GreenUp annual awards ceremony in Peterborough earlier this month. We were also excited to see six other companies awarded for their sustainability projects, as well as the mayor of Peterborough – Jeff Leal, discussing his plans for a greener Peterborough. Collective minds and efforts can make a difference where we work and live!

LEADING WITH MOMENTUM Award

In summary of our Sun Dog project, this has been a very rewarding experience for our family in more ways than one. Our son Jakob reminds us of a quote by Horace Mann – known as the ‘father of American education’…. “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” “Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.”

With that in mind, we look forward to tomorrow, and finding more ways to help make our community and planet a better place to live.

Sun Dog and Solar project Spring into Action!

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 15:49:22 GMT

It seemed like a long winter, as the new walkthrough and garage doors for Sun Dog didn’t arrive until early April. However, solar testing continued throughout the winter. Our solar array officially went live on January 21st, 2023, and passed final performance testing on April 9th. (Yeah!)

With shorter winter days and snow-covered roofs, harvesting solar energy was far more challenging in the winter months, as expected.

Today, we are collecting more solar energy than we are using at Lake Edge, as the excess is passed back to the hydro grid for others to use. This excess production will be credited back on our future Hydro One invoices when needed (i.e., next fall/winter).

It’s raining today, so our utilization is low. However, we still continue to harvest solar energy.

This web-based monitoring tool will also help us understand the ongoing beneficial impact on our environment, and if there are any production issues with the solar panels themselves, so that we can remediate if necessary.

In summary, we’re now living off the land with healthy well water and natural sunshine, which is powering every electrical outlet on the property, while also giving back to the environment. With this foundation in place, we will continue to build towards our green objective of becoming a net zero business/resort. And remember, our EV charger, which was recently added, is currently complementary for all Lake Edge overnight clients to use.

It’s all about the Base!!

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 16:47:28 GMT

Much has happened since my last update, and I don’t want to simplify the complexity involved in getting to the current ‘Sun Dog’ framing stage. Note to self – plan extra weeks when putting up a new structure.

Everything being constructed underground is far more complicated and painstakingly longer to deal with as compared to that above ground. The primary risk for project Sun Dog project, was getting the foundation poured during favourable weather conditions, and we were very fortunate this November (with the previous delays) to have had mild weather on our side.

However, following the day of our pour, the temperature fell to -5 Celsius overnight. Yikes – didn’t get much sleep that night, as temperature plays a huge role in enabling the concrete to set properly. In fact, my resources worked for 20 hours that day from 8am to 4am the next day, as they spent the night hours planing the newly formed concrete surface, which is critical before it dries. It was a long night, but would be another long day ahead, as the team returned 4 hours later (at 8am) only to discover that part of the concrete slab did not dry properly. After some deliberation among the team, an appropriate masonry (Type A) slurry was prepared, and the entire 1600 square feet of concrete was resurfaced and re-planed to remedy the situation. Fortunately, the hearts and minds of my team prevailed that morning, as well as the blessed sun, which fostered another mild day at Lake Edge. By noon that day, the resurfaced concrete had dried beautifully, and the team was well rewarded for their persistence, and outstanding effort.

Needless to say, we are now into the framing stage of the new building. Trenching and installation for the new cables to all three buildings is now complete, which will enable us to direct any unused solar energy that is harvested back onto Hydro One’s grid. Referred to as ‘net-metering’, Lake Edge will not be storing electricity on-site. Instead, we will leverage Hydro One’s grid for any overage that is produced, while receiving credits that will be applied to our future monthly utility bills, during cooler months, when the sun’s rays are less direct. So essentially, the amount of solar energy that we will produce, was engineered to meet 110% of our current hydro demand. Measured annually, any excess that is produced, will spawn new green initiatives at Lake Edge, such as reducing our dependence on propane heating.

Next month, 95% of our project will be completed – less the installation of the new doors for Sun Dog, and Hydro One’s final circuit testing.

Making Things Happen

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 15:45:41 GMT

So why didn’t I just hire a contractor to manage the project? It would cost more money, but would be much easier for me to interface with one individual who would be responsible for all of the project activities, deadlines, dealing with builders, suppliers, and attaining the necessary permits from our local township. Besides, all of this needed to begin while Lake Edge was still in its busy season – up until Thanksgiving weekend. And, what do I know about managing a construction project anyway? However, I soon came to the realization that most of the reputable contractors were busy 1-2 years out, and there was a shortage of both skilled labour and materials (e.g. concrete).

So, with these constraints, I deduced that I would need to ‘dig deep’ to find reliable resources, and then project manage it myself. The risk being that I don’t know what I don’t know, so there will be some learning/growth pain throughout the process – but that never stopped me before. I learned from running a student painting business during my university days that “some people make things happen, others watch things happen, and those who don’t know what’s happening”. We get to choose.

Above it all, I find motivation in life through continual learning, transformation, and improvement. This is often where new opportunities emerge that can make a positive difference in one’s self, your career, and stuff you’re accomplishing as you go forward.

And so, the project blueprints, phone calls and networking to find the right resources began. Generation Solar (as discussed earlier), had already earned my trust, so I leveraged their network of suppliers to find “ Whippletree ” a well-experienced company that would build a pole-barn framework that would satisfy our needs. As I got to know the owners, I realized how fortunate I was to have them on my project. Not just because of their extensive experience, but also their collegial and positive attitudes, that would make the project fun to work on together. I learned through personal experience to expect issues on any project, and having a strong team that works well together, much easier to navigate through obstacles that come along.

And finally, I chose a reputable concrete supplier – or so I thought. After several weeks of discussions and my agreement to move forward with them, they sent an email saying they could no longer commit to my project. Huge disappointment, as I had wasted several weeks and it would be difficult to find a replacement with only 8 weeks to go before breaking ground on the new foundation. Neither Generation Solar, nor Whippletree had any recommendations either. So, I sourced one through my local building material suppliers. Definitely not the ideal situation you when your options are limited.

With 4 stages of pouring concrete – and 2 left to go, the foundation has taken longer than expected as we are currently 3 weeks behind schedule. This stems from a combination of earlier wet weather, and resource challenges. Our updated schedule tells us that we are about 10 days away before we move to the framing stage.

Our picture below illustrates 15 concrete piers, resting on 4-foot-deep in the ground, concrete footings, upon which the white pine timber beams will be attached using 8-inch-deep concrete screws re-secured with epoxy. The fog is typical at this time of year as our lake is warmer than the cool night temperatures. Most mornings see frost while our fog burns off around 10am. It’s my favourite time of year!

Where to start? The Dawn of Project Sun Dog

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 15:44:18 GMT

The first thing about starting a project like this is to recognize that it’s not going to be inexpensive. It’s a long-term investment – no different than putting an addition on your home that you plan to live in for a while. Therefore, one needs to do their research by finding companies that have a vested interest in helping you engineer the right solution for your needs. Never rely on an organization who provides an over the phone quote, that hasn’t taken the necessary time to visit your site.

We decided to only work with green energy companies that can demonstrate:

⦁ A stellar track record for delivering quality (references, experience);

⦁ Staying power (20+ years in the business);

⦁ A local presence in our community (this is key when dealing with the local utility/hydro);

⦁ Technical and managerial leadership to drive the project forward;

⦁ Trust – the person in charge will become your trusted advisor, by looking out for your best interests. Technical discussions will take place that are far from intuitive to understand if you don’t have the background.

We chose Generation Solar(GS) , a small local Peterborough firm that was founded by 2 engineers with over 20 years of complex project experience. After making that decision, choosing the other suppliers was somewhat easier.

With an objective to completely transfer off of hydro in 2023, GS reviewed our annual hydro usage from past years, and then reverse engineered the number of solar panels required to meet our needs. With that in mind, GS recommended three large roofs, but we only had two.

To meet our objective, we needed a third location, which would entail a 30ft x63ft area to place the solar panels, and I knew the perfect location. However, this added cost wasn’t envisioned upfront. So, we needed to rethink our project scope, and whether the additional cost was worth it!

Enter our application to FedDev for tourism funding, plus the benefits that we and our guests would derive from having both a storage garage, and an extended roof covered recreational area for guests to enjoy at the back of our property. That said, most important to us is our protection of the environment, which we are very passionate about, and want to sustain for future families to experience and enjoy.

When you stop to think about it, our largest financial events in life tend to be those that we are most passionate about, not due to necessity, but because of the way they make us feel. (i.e. large weddings, buying a home/cottage, vacations, having kids, family events, vehicles).

Hence, project Sun Dog was born.

Our next update will discuss my role in the project, and the criticality of managing all the moving pieces, each with specific deadlines, while also managing our busy resort.

What is Project Sun Dog?

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 15:42:42 GMT

It all started over a friendly weekend conversation with a childhood friend last November when I brought up the topic of our concern over climate change. My friend was also concerned, but then with a look of despair, said “So what can you or I do about it?” It was the perfect question to ask, and there was no immediate answer. But it was an important question that deserved an answer.

So, with the slower flow of off-season traffic at the resort, Anne and I attended a meeting with Green Economy Peterborough (GEP) where they discussed measuring our current consumption of gas, propane, and hydro. Through this exercise, we learned that we are consuming ~50,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) annually. Mostly during the summer months.

Later, we contacted green energy firms to help us understand the costs of converting to solar energy. (HINT – It ain’t cheap, but a worthwhile exercise to consider if you are thinking long-term benefits.)

Then came FedDev Ontario , who were offering funding for new innovative growth initiatives for Ontario Tourism related businesses. So we applied, and were fortunate to (later) be selected as 1 of 33 recipients in our region, which we are grateful for.

And, so our journey towards a greener future began to emerge.

Coming back to my friend’s question: “What can you or I do about it?”, I realized that there is a small role we can play in making our tiny piece of the world a better place to live. And, while there are no guarantees in life, I take comfort in knowing that we’re doing our part for ourselves, and those who come later.

Our next update will cover the project scope – stay tuned…

Why own a cottage resort business?!

Thu, 09 May 2019 14:43:41 GMT

Since Steve and I acquired Lake Edge Cottages, we have been asked on several occasions, “Why”? It’s not the kind of thing you wake up in the morning and say, “Let’s run a cottage resort business!”

What you need to know about the Wildfong family is that we enjoy exploring and being outdoors. We spent the last 17 summers travelling throughout North America in a 10 foot box pop up trailer. We started out with 4 of us and then Jakob came along in 2003. That was fine when the kids were half the size they are now but now they are all grown up and take up much more space. With Stephanie and Tyler away at University, or on a work term, it became more difficult to coordinate family vacations.

Along came Lake Edge Cottages. What a great way to continue with being outdoors in the summer…..with a little more space to do so, and a nice bed and indoor plumbing as a bonus.

There are also some key pros to working at the resort as well:

short commute time
you are your own boss
the dress code is a little more relaxed
meeting new and interesting guests every week

We look forward to meeting all our new and returning guests and look forward to sharing the great outdoors with all of you. We welcome any feedback or suggestions that you may have for us as we want to ensure that you have a relaxing and enjoyable stay with us.
