Once we receive the total rental amount, plus the security deposit, we will email or mail to you instructions on how to enter the cottage, a map, inventory and the house rules to the cottage. If you have not received this information 10 days prior to the start of your rental, please contact the office.

The majority of
our cottages are equipped with lock boxes. These lock boxes contain
the keys to the cottage and can be accessed when a security code has
been entered. At the end of the rental period the keys are to be returned
to the box. In some instances the cottage is left open by the cottage
owner or the owner will meet you at the property at the start of the
rental period.

Unless otherwise stated, linens are not provided with the rental, guests must bring sheets, pillow cases, towels, dish cloths and dish towels.
Drinking water in many cases is from the lake or dug well. If the drinking water is not potable this will be indicated in the cottage description.
