Staying With us in One of Our Cottages?

When you are heading out for a getaway, the last thing on your mind is probably the rules. However, rules are important and necessary so that your vacation experience can stay as pleasant as possible. In addition to being important, we also know that a few rules can make cottagers go, “hmmmm.” If you’ve ever wondered why certain rules exist at many campgrounds you’ve visited, this is for you!

For both your enjoyment and that of your fellow cottage neighbours, please observe these rules and regulations at all times while staying with us. Respect your neighbours and refrain from walking on their site. Keep noise down. You are responsible for the conduct, damage and/or losses resulting from the actions of your children, guests or pets.

Soliciting

Pets

Our fur buddies enhance holiday time for us, but they can easily disturb times of relaxation and the outdoor atmosphere for others. Dog owners must be respectful of all other guests.To accommodate both those with and without pets, we ask that you adhere to the following rules related to dogs:
