Our water source is a well and there is a filtration system so you are able to drink and cook with the water.
We do provide linens and towels so there is no need to bring your own.
There is both a fire-pit with seating provided for your enjoyment near the lake and a wood burning sauna near the cottage. We do not provide firewood but it can be purchased at a local store. Practically all gas stations north of Barrie sell firewood. Simply pick up 2-3 bags on your way to the cottage.
There are watercraft for your enjoyment and some life jackets. As per the rental agreement, personal safety when using the kayaks, paddle boat or enjoying the sauna is your own responsibility and we assume no liability in case of accidents or injury.
The lower-level (basement) of the cottage is above grade. So basically all 2048 sqft of living space is above ground. The 3 couches in the basement are long and wide. They can be slept on, even though they are not technically "sofa beds".
At the end of your stay, you may leave one large bag of household garbage, and one recyclables bag for plastic and tins. If you have more than that, you will need to take it with you. Additional fees ($20 a bag) may be incurred if you leave behind more than the above mentioned limit.
GUEST ACCESS
The whole space is for your use. We have one room Locked in the basement along with the garage for our personal items.
The tub in the upstairs bathroom is functional. You may fill it during your stay. However, please only fill the tub once or twice per day. Filling the tub more than twice per day will deplete the treated water supply thus causing you discomfort. See below for guidelines on how to manage the water.
REGARDING WATER AND LAUNDRY
As mentioned above, the water is from a well and is filtered. It's perfectly safe to drink. HOWEVER, the water filtration system can only treat so much water in a given period of time. So if you're a large group, please spread out your showers and laundry/dish washer usage.
If you run the washing machine and someone uses the shower *at the same time*, there is a chance the water will become orange and this can stain your laundry (though it will eventually wash off). In the event that water does become orange, just let it settle for half an hour and it will be back to normal.
NOTE ON WIFI
Rural wifi is not as reliable as wifi in major cities. 25 Mbps internet with a monthly cap of 450 GBs is the best internet money can buy in these areas. It can accommodate 3-4 devices at once with no problem at all. In case of any issue, the instructions for how to reset the modem are posted on the wall in the kitchen beside the fridge. Restarting the modem will fix the internet issue 99% of the time.
Since 450 GB is the amount of data available for any given month, guests will be required to limit usage to 15 GB per day (especially during peak summer months). We'll give you a heads up if your usage is trending high so you're able to control it. An overage charge of $5 per GB may be incurred if you use more than the stated amount.
This much data is normally enough. If you're accustomed to more heavier usage, we recommend augmenting the cottage wifi with your own cell carrier data. Cell reception at the cottage is excellent, especially with Bell.
**Please keep in mind that the state of the lawn is subject to the weather. If there's a thunderstorm and heavy rainfall, the lawn will be wet and not ideal of outdoor play. In this case, you can take advantage of the many indoor activities.
