Reasons to book
About this cottage rental
Fully equipped with linens and cookware, washer and dryer, as this is a family retreat that we love to share. We're committed to sustainability with eco-friendly cleaning products and lighting.
THE SPACE
-- In addition to three bedrooms, there is a private loft with queen bed that's accessed through one of the bunk bedrooms. It's suitable for agile people because one needs to climb a sturdy ladder to get up to it. There is also a roll-away bed (for a child) available upon request.
-- For heat, there's a Rinnai propane heater as well as a beautiful stone fireplace.
-- Fast internet with a desk in the living room.
-- Private parking on our property. Outdoor propane grill is great for cookouts.
GUEST ACCESS
-- Lock box on the front door.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
-- Mid June-Labor Day: we rent Saturday to Saturday, check in 3pm (lockbox), check out 10am.
-- We supply 4 gallons of drinking water via a water cooler with additional water available nearby. The tap water is fine to bathe with, cook with (boiled) and wash dishes with. It comes from a dug well next to the cottage, but to be extra safe we ask guests not to drink water from the faucets.
-- We have two kayaks and a two person canoe. Swim/use watercraft at your own risk and please wear a life jacket on kayaks/canoe. Life jackets available for kids and adults.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-- Personal watercraft (jet skis) not allowed on Upper Range Pond.
-- A few stone steps lead from cottage to beach. The path is lit at night but there is also a short path through the woods.
-- Please drive slowly down the road. The camp road is in good shape and driving slowly helps keep it that way.
-- No smoking indoors or outdoors.
