All other months are a 2-night or 3-night minimum as noted in the calendar. Guest access: Keyless entry. We'll provide the code before you check in. Other things to note: • $50 one-time fee per dog to cover additional cleaning. Pets MUST be disclosed during booking. Up to two dogs permitted. • We have security cameras outside that monitor the property. • Cell phone service is very unreliable at the cottage. Depending on your carrier, you may not have any cellular reception. Connect to our free WiFi for calls and internet access. • The cottage is in a natural setting, so you should expect spiders, mosquitoes, ants, and the like to occasionally make their way inside the home. • The lake is home to fish, turtles, birds, crayfish, frogs, and other creatures who may pop by to say hello. You may want to wear water shoes if you don't like the squishy feeling of lake weed between your toes (that's what I do!). • There's a welcome book for guests with a copy of the house rules, information on WiFi access and how to use appliances, and local guides. • Fun fact: there is an unfinished artist's studio on the property that will greet you right when you drive in - it's a big tarped foundation - so you can use that as the marker that you've found the right spot, but then quickly forget about it and get distracted by the view of the pond.
