1. Are pets allowed?
 Yes pets are allowed but not in every cottage. Below every cottage description it will state one of the following PETS: "Yes", "No" or "Maybe" We glady welcome and accept all breeds of dogs. We also welcome caged birds, caged hampsters/gerbils. For everyones comfort we do not allow any type of cat due to the dander and related allergies in so many people, but at this time we cannot accept cats due to some many allergies with cat dander.
There is a pet contract and a Pet Insurance Policy which is required before your pet may come.
2. What if I have allergies to pets or cleaning supplies?
 Please tell us up front if you have allergies, we do not ask. Our cleaners can use non-allergenic cleaning materials to clean before your arrival. As for pets, we can find a cottage which has never had pets in it before.
3. Is smoking allowed?
 No. All of our cottages are non-smoking. If you wish to smoke you can do so outside and kindly pick up after yourself.
4. Is there a place to rent Kayaks?
 Yes. Give us a call and we will direct you in the right spot! Toll Free 1-888-291-3525
5. Is there Internet access in the cottages?
 Many cottages are trying to accommodate those who wish to be in touch with the world while on vacation. Call your access provider and obtain an 800 number, as there are long distance blocks on all the cottages telephones.
6. What is the policy on weddings, parties, family gatherings etc.?
 Large gatherings are not permitted in/on any property unless specified in the description.
7. What is the policy on bringing guests?
 Approved guests are fine. We do ask that no more than the stated number of max occupants be in the house at any given time, this is due to well and septic reasons. Many of our cottages are able to sleep more than what is stated, however, due to septic limitations, what is listed on each cottage's web page is deemed the limit.
8. Why do some descriptions say that the cottage is not safe for children?
 When writing every cottage's description we keep in mind the safety of children. Any cottage that states it is not safe for children is posted as such for a reason. Some cottages have very steep cliffs, large drop offs into the water, or open lofts or decks that have no railings over a steep drop off. We have flagged these cottages "Not safe for children" for your protection.
9. Why do I have to bring my own drinking water to certain cottages?
 We have flagged all the cottages that require you to bring your own drinking water. This is because the cottages that are near the lakes actually pull in water from the lake. The cottages that are near the ocean may have saline in the water. The water in these flagged cottages is fine to bath and to wash dishes in but we strongly suggest bringing bottled water for drinking and cooking.
10. What are the High, Early, Low and Off Season Dates?
Early Season is the last two weeks of June & the first two weeks of July
High Season is the last two weeks of July & all of August through the first week ending in Sept.
Low Season is the first two full weeks of Sept
Off Season is anytime after the second week in Sept through mid October.
11. When do the cottages open or close for the season?
Our cottages can open as early as mid May and close as late as mid Nov.

Some cottages are not "Winterized" which means there is no or very little heat. These cottages open no sooner than June 1 and close mid Sept.

Other Cottages that are winterized we use them for a "Winter Rental" A winter rental is a rental that consists of signing a contract for several months: from Sept/Oct 1 through May/June 1st. (and not all winterized cottages that we have are on our winter rental list. It’s only those owners who choose to rent their

homes through the winter months)
