Other Details to Note
-There is a keypad lock you can use to self-check in when you arrive (see check-in instructions) - We offer a drip coffee maker with free coffee grounds - NEW propane BBQ - Also provide a smoker for your smoking meat needs. - Board games (Selection of board games, puzzles and some books). - There will be a bundle of firewood leaning up against the house you can use as much of as you want. I can also give you the number of someone you can buy more wood from and pick up or have delivered. - There's also a bylaw so no fires are allowed before 7pm - no idea why but I also don't want you to get fined. - There's a full kitchen and dishwasher (please do your own dishes before you leave) and all the main cooking and BBQ utensils you'd need. - The water off the dock is only about chest height, so don't dive, but a shallow cannonball will work. The water gets deep about 20 ft further out. - The cottage is also on a septic tank, so please only put toilet paper in it and while the water is unlimited, it's also not a good idea to have more than like 4-5 quick showers in a short time frame. - The water is from the well and is safe to drink. If you are not use to well water we recommend bottled from Foodland 6 minutes away. - 3 to 7 night minimum stays on long weekends and during summer All garbage and recycling must be taken with you on departure (clear bags provided). There is no garbage pick up in our area. Landfill information is provided with a pass. If you are unable to take with you we can arrange for garbage removal for additional fee.

Accessibility and Availability
Neighborhood
Wooden area with some residential homes and cottages. Perfect place to enjoy the outdoors and respect the tranquility.
Guest Access
For summer: Free parking for the cottage is available (no inside garage parking available). There is ample parking on the driveway.. For winter: The laneway leading to the cottage is regularly maintained by the municipality and plowed, as well as the top parking lot, however, snow accumulates quickly in Minden Hills and a 4 wheel drive vehicle maybe necessary. Parking in the winter is at the front of the house, about a 10 ft. walk to the cottage, good winter boots are strongly recommended. Never attempt to step out unto the frozen lake near the dock when temperatures have not been ideal for ice fishing. Snowmobiling during the winter is popular in the area and on the ice. Trails are very near the house.
