Fun, Connection, and Cottage Dreams at the Cottage Life Show
What do you get when you combine a Kota Grill Cabin, a sea of enthusiastic cottage-lovers, and the vibrant energy of the Cottage Life Show? An unforgettable weekend packed with fun, connection, and inspiration for backyard living!
This spring, Kota Grills™ had the pleasure of exhibiting at the Toronto Cottage Life Show—and what a show it was. From the moment the doors opened, our booth buzzed with activity. We had the chance to meet hundreds of passionate outdoor enthusiasts, families dreaming of cottage upgrades, and seasoned cottagers looking for the next big thing to elevate their retreats.
Beyond the display of our authentic Finnish grill cabins and high-quality Polar Grilli grills, what made this event truly special was the people. Every conversation sparked excitement—whether it was reminiscing about bonfire nights at the lake or sharing ideas for creating the perfect backyard sanctuary. It wasn’t just a trade show; it felt like a community gathering of those who appreciate craftsmanship, connection, and outdoor living at its finest.
Bringing a Piece of Finland to Canada
Many visitors were surprised to learn about the origins of the grillikota—a traditional Finnish grill hut designed for year-round gathering and cooking. Crafted with care, our cabins offer an authentic way to bring the magic of Finnish outdoor culture to cottages and backyards across North America.
Kota Grills™ is proud to be the exclusive importer of Polar Grilli, known across Europe for their precision-made grill hardware, and of our custom wooden cabins sourced from one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of bespoke outdoor structures. Built to withstand the elements, and customizable to suit any space, these cabins are an investment in both lifestyle and lasting memories.
And while we weren’t actively running sales promotions, a few lucky attendees took advantage of the special show pricing—securing their future grill cabin or sauna retreat before the summer season kicks off!
Inspiration for Your Outdoor Space
From cozy grill huts perfect for evening gatherings to saunas, glamping pods, and hot tubs, our full line of wellness and leisure products had guests dreaming big. We loved hearing everyone’s ideas—from lakefront saunas to backyard pods doubling as stylish guest houses.
