A heartwarming memory

"Can't remember where I got it, but my cousin Lisa used to tell anyone to go jump in the lake if they annoyed her while at the cottage. She passed away seven years ago, and this mug invokes great memories of her."

It’s a Cottage Life joke that every favourite cottage memory involves sipping coffee on the dock. (You really do love it!)

And, all jests aside, it’s for a good reason. That cozy feeling of curling up in a Muskoka chair while the early morning mist hovers over the lake, hands wrapped around your most cherished ceramic cup—it’s truly a quintessential cottage moment. 

So, when we recently asked you to show us your treasured cottage mugs, many of you were more than eager to share photos and stories of your morning sidekicks. Coming from Hawaii, Honey Harbour, and beyond, these mugs all have a tale to tell. Swipe through the gallery to take a peek at 15 of Cottage Lifers most epic cottage mugs.
