The Cottage Costs of co-ownership are based on the underlying real estate value. Ten weeks of ownership a year, every family gets two weeks in the spring, summer, fall, winter and another in between. Every 8 weeks you have a vacation opportunity.

Privacy is assured as these are existing cottages, you can rent them also and you have equity in the property. As the surrounding real estate rises in value so does your equity.
