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

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<br />
collection of rods, all of which get used.<br />
