Sue and I travel to our Bostwick Lake cottage numerous times a year. Sue was born on the lake in a similar tiny cottage and grew up for a few years wandering around the cows and corn. Her parents own the year-round home next door.
Eric has spent years restoring, painting, and fixing this 1925 cottage to keep it from falling apart! It’s work therapy; keeping busy during the morning hours when everyone else is still sleeping. It took Eric about 8 years to originally refinish it’s 35 original 8-pane windows. Eric has just begun to slowly restore the windows a second time after 15 years of MI winters (it’s easier this time).

And don’t forget our tub-toys; We love to relax during our off time…
