Postcard of the interior of Cotswold Lodge, located on the northwest corner of the 25th Side Road and Innisfil Beach Roadd (8th Line). It was the home of the Webster family: Frederick Webster, his wife Alice (née Little) and their four children named Ida, Jack, Doris & Ted. Son Jack operated it as a lodge during the summer months and also ran a snack bar, grocery store, cabin rentals and a small marina on the side that repaired outboard motors, lawn mowers, etc. In 1967 the business was leased out to George Young from Stroud for a short time. The Cotswold held many functions, including a beauty salon run by Mrs. Susie Ellsworth (m. Lloyd Ellsworth). Additionally the Stroud Masonic Lodge held dinner meetings there, George Ross and Elma Quantz had their wedding reception there in 1950, and St. Paul’s and St. Peter’s church choir held musical evenings there. Banquets, birthdays, women teacher's association meetings and other similar events were also hosted at the Cotswold Lodge. As of 2018, a plaza containing a Circle K convenience store, Pizzaville, and Bruno's Bakery stands in the Lodge's former location.
