About Kashwakamak Lakeside Cottages

Hello cottagers of Kashwakamak! 

Our names are Annette and Darren Baker, together with our 5 children we would like to introduce ourselves as the owners of Kashwakamak Lakeside Cottages. We are eager to head into the upcoming cottage season and excited to experience all that the Kashwakamak lifestyle has to offer. 

We have been blessed to have grown up in the area with with our families spanning many generations. Our family has always loved being by the lake, enjoying the outdoors.  This lake has been a special part of our Family stories growing up and we are happy to officially be part of the Kashwakamak Lake Community.

Darren is a part of construction management for a company north of Toronto, while Annette has retired from her career in the banking industry. We raised our five children in the Tweed/ Stirling area, who were all actively involved in hockey, competitive dance, with lots of travel. Each of them are excited to contribute to the successful dynamic that the cottage business has to offer in their own way.  As young adults they are all headed off to pursue their own passions be it full time jobs or Post Secondary Education.  You may see one or two of them at different points thru the summer.

We always planned to retire on the Lake, the opportunity came for Kashwakamak Lakeside Cottages when we were least expecting, it felt like home from our very first visit! 

We are excited to spend our summers by your side, and make memories for years to come. We’re grateful for this opportunity to meet new friends with those who choose to vacation with us.
