GUEST ACCESS You have access to the entire cottage minus one closet for cleaning supplies. You also have a private deck and can use the path down to the creek. The grassy area and the large deck are not for guest use.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE We live in the main house on the same lot. The cottage is set towards the back of the property line, around 50-60 feet from the main house. You may hear or see our family when we are in the backyard.
If you would like cleaning service during your stay, we can help you book with our cleaner at your own expense.
As the cottage often serves as a monthly rental (which is reflected in the lower price), we will provide supplies (i.e. coffee, cooking oil, paper towel, toilet paper, detergent, etc) for the first week or two only. If you stay for more than 30 days, you will need to buy your own supplies for the rest of your stay (no refills). This does not apply to short term bookings of less than 30 days for which we will provide supplies for your entire stay.
If your reservation request is far in advance, we may not be able to accept it, as we aim to minimize gaps between stays. For stays shorter than 40 days, we can typically accept reservations only if they fall within a couple of weeks of the most recent occupied date shown on our calendar. We are sorry in advance if we can't accept your reservation request.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
