16 songs for a cabin party

You call them cottages. I call them cabins. But we agree on one thing: there’s no better place for a party. And the best thing about a lake bash is that it’s usually spontaneous. The night starts off with a late dinner as the light disappears. Soon after, a few neighbours show up for a game of cards and a beer. And before you know it, half the lake has dropped by and you’ve got yourself a night to remember.

No doubt you’ve already got the beer and the cards on hand, but if you need help with the tunes, we’ve put together this party-friendly playlist to make things simple. So press play and hurry back—your drink is getting warm.

It’s In Your Nature from Cottage Life on 8tracks Radio.
