Recreational Properties

Vacation homes and cottages

Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and get a little closer to nature? A vacation home may be just the solution.

Whether it’s a chalet in the mountains, a cozy vacation cottage on the lake, or a villa with an ocean view, Royal LePage will help you find your ideal getaway.

We specialize in helping Canadians achieve their dreams of owning a recreational property. A cottage, chalet, cabin or piece of lakefront property is not only a great place to enjoy with family and friends, it’s a smart option for a long-term investment.

Royal LePage publishes a Recreational Property Report that surveys Canadian attitudes toward recreational property. Here are our latest findings:

• 89 per cent of Canadians think a vacation cottage or cabin is a great place for family to gather, and 86 per cent think it is a great way to get out of the city for recreation and relaxation.
• 64 per cent of Canadians view cottage ownership as a sound investment.
• 55 per cent of Canadians would be willing to make compromises with regards to their financial or lifestyle choices to own a recreational home.
• Canadians believe that the three most important features of a vacation home are peace and quiet (58 per cent), access to utilities (50 per cent) and four-season use (39 per cent).
• The majority of those surveyed said that they would be happy to skip holidays and use their cottage as their new vacation destination to save money.
