We ask that all guests be respectful of neighbouring properties and observe quiet hours beginning at 10:30 PM. Outdoor activities and gatherings should be moved indoors after this time.

This property operates on a private septic system. To avoid costly repairs and service interruptions, please do not flush anything other than toilet paper.

Guests may be held responsible for damages resulting from misuse of the septic system.
The waterfront, dock, hot tub, barrel sauna, fire pit, canoe, kayaks, and all outdoor amenities are provided for guest enjoyment; however, their use is entirely at the guest's own risk. By booking this property, guests acknowledge that swimming, boating, paddling, dock use, hot tub use, sauna use, fire pit use, and other outdoor recreational activities carry inherent risks.

Cameras record video only and there are absolutely no cameras located inside the cottage or in any private indoor spaces.
Garbage and recycling collection is provided through a third-party service. If your stay includes a Wednesday, please ensure vehicles are not parked in a manner that blocks access to the collection bin located near the driveway, as it is serviced weekly.
