Canadian here. I drive 4 times a year to my family cottage 8 hours away.

I'm in Winnipeg. A friend of mine has a family cottage 2 hours north of thunder Bay.

It makes no sense to me why they continue to torture themselves by keeping this property.

Why don't you sell your cottage and buy something closer?

History. My grandfather bought it 70 years ago. It's an old school house... That he actually went to school in. He died it too.

Besides that, we still have family and generations of friends we still know and love in nearby.

It's located on an Unesco site on the bay de chaleur. It's not worth a lot either. Im pretty sure I'd be trading down if I bought another place. I doubt I'd find a spot that beautiful.

Anyway, the drive is stunning and it doesn't bother me.
