Welcome to our little cottage about 200 steps away from our community beach where you can do nothing or if you are in a mood of being active you could go Kayaking, fishing and swimming and maybe enjoy a BBQ in the summer or ice skating in the winter. Enjoy our Adirondack chairs and firepit for relaxation. If you feel like being competitive we provide some outdoor games , board games and books.
We have WIFI and smart TV's so although you are tucked in by the pond you can still connect with the world.
Our space is big enough for 4 but not 5 or 6. It is a small cottage with a septic and well for up to 4 people. It is the perfect space for a small family or a couple. I will consider ONLY 1 dog per reservation up to 75 pounds with a non refundable $50 fee for the whole stay. Once you make the reservation you will be required (no exceptions) to sign the rental agreement and a $200 refundable deposit will be required.
Our Living room is open with a dining table with a flat screen smart TV with Netflix account (no cable) game boards under the tv and an electric fireplace for ambiance or extra heat.
Our bathroom has a shower no tub and we provide body wash/shampoo/conditioner dispenser, hand soap and of course toilet paper. We provide bath towels, hand towels and wash clothes. If you are staying longer than just a weekend please feel free to use our washer/dryer if you need to freshen up any towels and linens as we do not provide this service.
We have a master bedroom with a queen size bed and a small desk if you need to work from home. All linens are provided but no extra linens so feel free to bring extras or use our washer/dryer if you have any accidents during your stay.
Our second bedroom has a bed with a twin and full size mattress. All linens are provided but no extra linens. We also have a pack n play you can use but please bring any covers/sheets for it. We have AC units and portable fans for summer months.
If bringing an infant, please keep in mind we do not have outlet covers or anything appropriate to make child proof so feel free to bring whatever you might need.
The kitchen is small but has almost everything to prepare a meal including an air fryer, microwave and different pot sizes. We have a regular coffee machine (we provide tea/coffee/cream/sugar) and we have a regular Keurig machine (we provide a few pods). We also provide dish soap, garbage bags and paper towel that will get you through a few days. Note: We do not have a dishwasher so feel free to bring some disposable cups/plates/ cutlery if you don't feel like hand washing.
Our backyard is not fenced in but backs to the woods where you can enjoy our firepit, play some games or seat by our picnic table and have a meal outside. We do have a grill in the warm months you are welcome to use it but please clean it. I HIGHLY recommend our guest to bring mosquito spray and if you are planning on using the firepit either bring some wood and you can also buy it down the street at the convenience store and bring lots of water as I do not recommend drinking water from the sink. I do have a water bottle in the fridge with a filter you can use.
CHECK IN: Contactless, keyless check in. Access code will be provided to our guests the morning of check in BY EMAIL, please check your email after 8am and you will get all the check in info.
PETS: Please do not bring a pet without my permission.
PARKING: Maximum 2 cars and you need to park in front of the cottage or next to the cottage but do not park on the street so you don't block the traffic.
SECURITY CAMERAS: We do have one security camera in the front of the cottage. We do not have cameras inside or in the backyard as we do respect our guests privacy.
IMPORTANT: This is not a party house, not a place to host a birthday party or baby shower… only registered guests are allowed in the cottage however I understand you might have family/friends that live close by and I will be happy to accommodate them if you let me know when you make the reservation.
