IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR STAY
Please read the following details carefully before booking our cottage to be able to enjoy the place to the fullest
Pre-Check and Safety:
The primary guest will need to complete a Pre Check-in Rental Information Form on behalf of the group. This includes providing the ages of all guests, a full guest list, and a photo ID of primary renter to comply with the Lake of Bays STR Bylaws. The primary guest will also be required to sign a form upon arrival as we are a registered STR.
PETS: We allow pets at Hill Top Haven. We allow one dog, that needs to be potty trained and all dog feces needs to be picked up. Any additional animals need to be approved and disclosed. Any additional pets will be charged at $150/per pet if found. Please disclose any service animals upon booking so we can accommodate additional time for our cleaner.
PESTS/SMALL ANIMALS: Please note that this property is located in cottage country so mosquitos, flies, and in rare cases, small wild animals (including turkeys, field mice, foxes, deer, etc..) could be seen in the area. We have taken preventative measures to ensure these pests do not enter the cottage but cannot guarantee that they enter the property. We ask that windows and doors should be closed when not in use to prevent pests from entering the cottage.
Minor Construction:
Our cottage is newly built and sits atop a hill overlooking the lake and the rest of the community. You may see some construction equipment on the way to the cottage and may hear distant construction noises from the other side of the hill during the afternoon. We have equipped the home with noise-proof windows and local laws ensure no construction during evenings and sleeping hours. You can be assured that your state will be peaceful.
Power Outages:
Rare but possible during severe weather. Typically, outages last a few hours, with the longest being a day. Please inform us if this occurs, and we will assist you promptly.
Winter:
Our private driveway is shoveled during winter, and the main road is plowed by the city. However, unpredictable Muskoka weather means you might need to shovel or use a snowblower. Be prepared for varying snow levels.
Other Things to Note:
Our hilltop location offers an amazing lake view but also has a steep drop. Please exercise caution when walking outside and watch your children. We are not directly on a lake access.
