The guesthouse: We also have a guesthouse/bunkie with electricity, small desk and double bed for another couple or the kids that can be used in most seasons. We only rent to one group at a time, so you would get the entire property to yourself and not have to share with other guests. The bunkie/guesthouse will not be rented separately from the main cottage. Our place is perfect for couples who want to a vacation in the main cottage but also want to invite other couples or friends to use the bunkie for a few days during their stay, especially during spring, summer or fall. (Please advise us if you are inviting couples to visit during your stay as all guests need to be registered.) The guesthouse, with access to the outdoor bathroom and kitchen, is very private from the main cottage. Wifi: We finally have Starlink unlimited wifi! Use to your heart’s content. May experience some outages during extreme weather. Neighbours: We have visible neighbours on one side of property. If you want a vacation where you don’t see anyone, our property may not be for you. All neighbours in the area are very respectful and friendly if you want to chat. If you or your family members (including dogs) have mobility issues, please note that the upstairs living area is only accessible via spiral staircase. Some larger dogs can have difficulty climbing the staircase. The loft sleeping space in the main bunkie is only accessible via ladder. All guests must be extremely careful on the ladder. When going down the ladder, face the bed and go slowly. The loft sleeping space is not recommended for small children. Children must always be supervised when using the ladder or climbing the staircase. We know dogs are family and they are welcome at Riverrun cottage, with a small cleaning fee. Please keep dogs on leash during walks and pick up all dog waste.
