Penny Caldwell
Editor, Cottage Life Magazine

Penny Caldwell has been writing for Cottage Life since its inception in 1988 and been an editor with the magazine since 1991. She was appointed editor-in-chief in 2000.

A long-time cottager with a passion for boating, Penny spends as much time as she can on the water at her family’s off-grid, solar-powered, water-access cottage on Georgian Bay. She’s joined there by her husband, two teenagers, and a golden retriever named Taylor, who appeared on the cover of Cottage Life magazine’s special issue in 2002 celebrating the cottage canine.
