Unique Muskoka August

completed the additions in 2007. The house
sits high above Lake Rosseau and is
accessible to the waterfront via terraced
stairs and a newly installed lift.
The cottage is multi-levelled and suits the
Gosevitz family perfectly. According to
Susan, “We have areas to gather together as
a family, but everyone has some space where
they can have some privacy, too. We aren’t
all on top of each other.”
The interior cottage theme is upscale
casual and the simplicity is enhanced by a
distribution of Susan Gosevitz’s own works
of stunning art that adorn the walls. She is
an award-winning artist and an elected
member of The Society of Canadian Artists.
“I see art as a collaboration with nature,”
Susan says. “Together we create the real and
sublime in one, providing a return from
hectic and stress, from consumption and
chaos, to meditative simplicity.”
Life has been good to the couple and
time in Muskoka has been an important
part of that life. Asked if there is anything
more he would like from life Dr. G. quips,
“Well, I definitely wish I could spend more
time fishing!”

keeps minimal supplies in her studio at the cottage, but always finds time to paint. Top Right: Bernie Gosevitz is an avid fisherman, and has an impressive
collection of rods, all of which get used.
