Críticas

[Review of previous edition: ] An encyclopedia of facts and fancies for those lucky souls who own cottages.--Bill Robertson"Star Phoenix (Saskatoon)" (12/15/2007)

[Review of previous edition: ] Everything from buying a cottage to identifying insects.--Patrick Langston"Vancouver Sun" (07/26/2014)

The book is ideal for new cottage owners like us but is packed with useful tips that even some experienced cottagers could find useful.--Lisa Goodmurphy"Gone With The Family Blog" (04/29/2016)

The 280-page book covers advice on buying a property; lake health and water quality; boating, swimming and fishing essentials; living with wildlife; do-it-yourself projects and more, all with full-colour photographs and illustrations.--Jessica Lovell"Guelph Tribune" (03/24/2016)

The all-in-one compendium of vacation-home knowledge.--Glenn Cameron"Road Stories Blog" (07/13/2016)

While a bit smaller than most coffee table selections, it's a great book to have kicking around the cabin. It houses the answers to many cottage questions that arise when outside of Wi-Fi's reach, like getting to know your lake, cottage maintenance and repairs, decoding animal tracks, learning how to fish, and more.-- (09/14/2015)

This is a fun book!... There is an index, lots of good wildlife book references, for enquiring minds. The photos are wonderful, especially of the wildlife you will meet and enjoy in an Ontario cottage country... Mackie and Taylor have included some interesting cottage topics, including the formation of lakes, getting into geology, as well as biology, flora and fauna. They provide practical support for those who choose to live by a lake. Until you have a cottage, even if you inherit one, you never know what you do not know until you need to know it! ... You begin to learn a lot of new things: opening the cottage, closing the cottage, but what fascinates me is the wildlife and how the book teaches cottagers to respect nature.-- (04/26/2016)

[Review of previous edition: ] The complete guide for any cottage goer or owner... The book is filled with striking colour photographs from cottages all over Canada and is broken down by subject for easy reference.-- (05/31/2008)

[Review of previous edition: ] This book is both a how-to and a collection of trouble-shooting and problem solving tips.--Carp Magazine (Toronto) (05/31/2008)

[Review of previous edition: ] For almost every question anyone might have about cottage life, this is a fun reference.... Perhaps the eingle most important bit of information in the whole book is on page 188: the recipe for the skunk odour remedy that includes peroxide. It really works.-- (06/01/2008)
