Shared ownership at The Diamond allows families to begin with a single ownership interval while maintaining the flexibility to expand their usage over time.
Some owners prefer one interval for a consistent annual visit, while others choose to purchase additional intervals to extend their time at the cottage. The structure allows ownership to grow as family needs or travel plans change.
This guide explains how single and multiple interval ownership works.
Single Interval Ownership
A single ownership interval provides five weeks of cottage use each year.
This includes two fixed weeks during the golf season between May and October, along with three rotating seasonal weeks in winter, spring, and fall.
Many owners begin with one interval because it provides a predictable annual schedule while keeping ownership simple and manageable.
You can learn more about how these weeks are organized in Interval Rotation Explained.
Multiple Interval Ownership
Some families choose to purchase more than one interval within the same cottage.
Owning multiple intervals increases the number of weeks available each year, allowing owners to spend additional time at the property or coordinate visits with family members.
Because intervals are tied to a specific cottage, owners who hold multiple intervals enjoy longer access to the same property throughout the year.
Expanding Your Time at the Cottage
Ownership intervals can be combined to provide longer stays or additional seasonal visits, depending on how owners choose to structure their time.
- Five weeks per interval
- Additional weeks through multiple intervals
- Flexible seasonal access
- Longer stays possible
- Family planning options
Owning additional intervals allows families to expand their cottage access while remaining within the same ownership structure.
Back-to-Back Weeks
Owners who prefer longer stays sometimes purchase multiple intervals that allow for back-to-back weeks at the cottage.
This arrangement allows families to extend their visits, host guests, or plan longer seasonal stays without needing to coordinate exchanges with other owners.
Back-to-back intervals are often chosen by families who spend extended time in Muskoka during the summer or shoulder seasons.
Expanding Ownership Over Time
Many owners begin with a single interval and later purchase additional intervals as their schedules evolve.
This allows families to gradually expand their cottage access while remaining within the same ownership system.
Because intervals are tied to specific cottages, additional intervals can often be added within the same cottage ownership group when they become available.
Full Cottage Ownership
In some cases, owners may hold all intervals within a cottage.
Because each cottage contains ten ownership intervals, holding all intervals provides control over the full annual calendar of that cottage.
While this is less common, the ownership structure allows for this possibility if one owner acquires all intervals associated with a cottage.
