Rental Policy

Cottage Cleaning
The cottage must be left in the same condition as you found it or better, ready for the next clients to move into as it has been done for you. This is not the same as renting a hotel which has a cleaning staff on-site.
  1. The cottage must be thoroughly cleaned, vacuumed, washed, and sanitized for future guests, including all surfaces, appliances, carpets and floors.
  2. All indoor & outdoor furniture needs to be returned to its original place.
  3. The kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas (including floors) must be left tidy with all clean dishes/cutlery returned to their cupboards/drawers. No dishes may be left in dishwasher or on drying rack, and the fridge must be empty.
  4. Beds must be left neat & stripped of linens. Comforters & pillows must be made neatly on the bed.
  5. All garbage and recycling must be taken care of as instructed in the section titled GARBAGE.
  6. Please do not walk with soiled shoes or feet inside the cottage.
Garbage
Garbage during your stay is to be placed in garbage bags/recycling boxes and stored safely so that animals cannot get into it. All garbage and recycling disposal is the responsibility of the rental client. Information and location of the garbage dump specific to the cottage will be provided.
Water/Plumbing/Septic System
There are strict rules with regards to septic systems. Failure to follow these rules may result in thousands of dollars in repairs.
  1. Only bodily waste materials and toilet paper can be flushed down the toilet (NO FEMININE/BABY PRODUCTS: TAMPONS, PADS, DIAPERS, WIPES).
  2. Do not put any solid waste materials or grease down the sink drains.
Camp/Cooking Fires
Small campfires are permitted as directed by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Please identify and adhere to local fire bans when imposed by local authorities (especially during dry/fire season). Do not burn plastic, tin cans, glass, or any other items that should not be in the fire. Always drown out your fire with plenty of water when left unattended, in particular before going to bed.
No Extra Guests/Parties
If you plan on having any additional guests, you must request permission from the owner.
No Smoking
This is a No Smoking and No Vaping cottage. If you are a smoker of any kind, please smoke outdoors only. Dispose of cigarette butts and debris in a proper, non-combustible container so they will safely extinguish. Do NOT dispose of cigarettes in the fire pit/lake/on the grounds.
Cancellation Policy
If there are any noise complaints from the neighbours &/or if the Police are called to the cottage for any negative reason, the owner will have the right to hold back some or all of your damage deposit. Some of this money held back may or may not go to appease the neighbours who have been inconvenienced.
Boats/Watercraft
Some life jackets are available for use, but are the rental client’s responsibility to equip for everyone in their party. If you plan on bringing a watercraft or renting from a nearby marina, please notify us well before you arrive.
Additional Notes
  • All bed and kitchen linens and towels are the responsibility of the rental client unless otherwise indicated.
  • If the grounds need to be maintained and the owners, or their designate, are not able to do it between renters occupancy due to weather, they will have access to the property during your stay. They will do their best not to disturb your time.
  • Be respectful of neighbors. Noise and music should be limited, especially after 10pm.
  • No vehicles permitted on grassy areas.
  • Be careful with propane, water, and hydro usage. Please turn off BBQ/tank controls, lights, and water after use.
