We’re Joseph & Alexiis—Canadian-born creatives, DIY parents, and proud Black cottagers showing what real cottage life on a budget looks like in Honey Harbour, Ontario.

Together with Reta and G (our seasoned cottage pro), we bought a cozy, water-access fixer-upper on Georgian Bay and turned it into a full-blown family adventure. What started as (what we thought would be) a simple renovation turned into a whole movement—three years later, we’re still renovating, still laughing, and still learning how to live our best lives at the cottage.
