Our Cottage Cares

A tradition of gathering. A tradition of giving.

For the place we love.

For generations, lakes in and around Huntsville have brought families together.

Join a movement of cottagers and lakefront property owners who come together in support of local healthcare, making meaningful, multi-year commitments to strengthen our hospital and ensure exceptional care is here for everyone when they need it. That’s Our Cottage Cares.

“Cottage Cares is about inspiring and inviting you to play a meaningful role in hospital care for life here. Many of us spend our summers on these lakes, welcome family, and friends, and rely on the peace of mind that comes with knowing care is nearby if it’s ever needed.”

“Just being able to walk into the hospital and know people are there to help you, it’s a privilege. The service is humane. You’re not rushed; you’re not judged. How can you not ensure this facility is here when you need it?”

Part of what you pass on

Here, tradition runs as deep as the lakes we love. From Lake of Bays to Mary Lake, every beautiful lake in and around Huntsville is a place that carries meaning for many of us. It’s where memories are made, traditions are carried forward and generations gather year after year. With that shared connection to this special place, comes a shared responsibility to care for it, today and for generations to come.

“It’s like a little bit of heaven on earth. There’s something about sitting on the dock in the morning, listening to the loons and just being still. Supporting the hospital is part of caring for the community itself, it’s peace of mind knowing exceptional care is here when families need it.”
