Attention to detail in the décor, layout, and expansive range of products is what sets Muskoka Classics Cottage Emporium apart as a long-standing favourite destination for cottagers throughout Muskoka.
Muskoka Classics Cottage Emporium is the vision of owner Greg Mannion. From the building’s unassuming beginnings as a grocery store, Mannion has crafted the evolution of its character-rich brick structure into one of Muskoka’s most unique venues, offering a truly unique collection of exceptional accents and furnishings for the cottage or country home.
“We frequently hear from our cottage clients that they’ve made a regular tradition of hopping in the boat and making an afternoon of coming up to the store,” says Alli Parliament, the store’s Retail Experience Manager. Alli is enthusiastic when she discusses the store’s layout. “It’s our reputation for product diversity that keeps our clients coming back. If you are able to present unique products in a creative cottage setting, it makes for an engaging, fun, and inspiring experience.”
Part of the sheer pleasure of browsing through the emporium is seeing the intriguing displays. The cabin inside the store has become the perfect setting to showcase an extensive collection from the iconic Hudson’s Bay Company. Fans of Canadiana will delight in the well stocked, full selection of HBC branded products.
The kitchen is arguably one of the most important rooms in the cottage. It is a place to meet, talk and, of course, cook. For many, their sense of the cottage experience starts in the kitchen, and avid cooks will spend hours perfecting their food over a hot stove.
At Muskoka Classics Cottage Emporium, you’ll find a wide variety of upscale housewares, bakeware, pottery, cookware, small appliances, ceramics, and great gadgets for every kitchen task. “It’s about having the right assortment of quality items — a real blend of function, style and design,” says Alli.
