The Benefits a Cottage Provides
Bonfire set by the lake shore
People with cottages are very fortunate to experience total serenity in nature that the majority of the city dwellers do not know much about. But in order to have a cottage, you must have enough income to support two properties; a house in the city close to work, schools, and all amenities, along with a cottage property away from the city which provides a sense of tranquility, water sports, swimming, fishing, hiking, and scenic views.
For the most, this scenario is quite difficult because as it is, they could barely afford one property. But there are other alternatives to a cottage; one of them could be camping, or trailer cottage resorts, or visiting a provincial/national park, or even renting a cottage for a week or two. Each has its own pros and cons, but the objective is still the same.
Connecting with nature is more important to our health than most people think. Studies have shown that people surrounded by nature, or even viewing natural scenes has a positive health impact on the human body. There are medical facilities all around the world that have acknowledged the importance of nature, and created recovery retreats for the sick, tucked away in total serenity, distant from cities.

More and more people have become less engaged with nature and more involved with artificial technological environments. But what is being missed is the unknown life energy that connects us to everything in nature. The rejuvenation we experience when we are close to it is irreplaceable; but when we disconnect from it, the life line which keep us healthy will be cut off and sickness will emerge.
