Guest Access
For summer: Free parking for the cottage is available (no inside garage parking available). There is ample parking on the top of 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 and snow tires maybe necessary. Parking in the winter is at the front of the house, about a 15 ft. walk to the cottage, good winter boots are strongly recommended. Steep Droveway. 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.
