Our History

Springwood has been in operation on the shores of Kennebec Lake for decades, starting out as a fishing camp with a few basic cabins. Over the years it has been owned by multiple families, each adding their personal touch while maintaining the essence of the property’s original landscape, with many mature trees still providing shade for the entire property.

In 2021, after a couple of years of searching for the right place to fulfill their vision, Christine and Ed Chaplin purchased Springwood and decided to embark on a new adventure. Retiring from their corporate careers they quickly integrated their passion for cottage life, games and community into the fabric of Springwood. Now, with a few years of operations behind them, they have curated an experience that they believe offers a place for families to escape the routines of day-to-day life, a chance to reconnect with nature, unwind and relax and experience what they believe Canadian Cottage Life is all about.

As the Springwood story continues to evolve, we welcome you and look forward to helping make memories you can treasure as you enjoy Canadian Cottage Life at Springwood Cottage Resort.

Your hosts,
Christine and Ed
