When this couple happened upon a For Sale sign in their favourite vacation spot, they pounced
When Steve and Vanessa Rempel happened upon a For Sale sign in their favourite vacation spot, they pounced
The couple—now married with three young kids and two dogs —visited Port Elgin every July for five years running, renting the same cottage on a secluded tree-covered lane. Upon arrival, they would change into bathing suits and dash to the nearby lake or hop on bikes for a spin down Shipley Trail. But last July was different: as they approached the rental, they noticed a For Sale sign next door. Vanessa and Steve pounced.
Compared with the vast lots of Muskoka, cottage properties in Port Elgin are closer together. Borrowing barbecue sauce and swapping stories with neighbours is part of the charm. “Everyone knows one another. It’s very community minded,” Vanessa says, likening it to the Hamptons—“though not as high-end, obviously.”
