Note on Security Camera: There are no spy cameras in place. WE DO NOT SPY ON OUR GUESTS. There is one security camera which is directed at the hot tub. This is solely for the purpose of dissuading use of the hot tub by other cottagers when our cottage is not in use. We encourage guests to disable this camera by unplugging it on the upstairs veranda deck during the duration of their stay. Winter Rentals: winter rentals are available usually by mid January (once there is confirmed to be at least 12 inches of ice on the lake) and February.

Geothermal heating. Top-up heat optional via a wood stove - bring your own firewood (or usually available for purchase from the property manager) The property is not available in December and March due to ice/safety.
