It also gives us peace of mind knowing that you are enjoying your stay, are safe and respecting yourself, our cottage and the environment.brbrPlease be careful when you are bringing luggage in. We hate painting. Therefore we have to hire someone to fix any repairs to the walls and it's not included in the budget so please be careful.brbrFire extinguishers are located in the Pantry in the kitchen and beside the wood stove in the family room.brbrFuse Panel is located on the main floor corner bedroom.brbrWe allow for 5 cars maximum for parking.

There are, moose, deer, raccoons, fox, squirrels and other trash eating creatures. We ask that you don't feed them. They will not come around the house providing you have not leave garbage anywhere in the exterior of the building. They don't want to see you as much as you don't want them to visit. Trust us.
