Because we live in Canada, and this is a water front property, the weather affects the landscape a lot. With that said, The dock is usually OFF from September to May (when its warm enough to get in the water). The water levels are always changing so do keep this in mind if you want to dock your boat.. If the tide is low, then you can dock your boat at the local marina 15 minutes away.

The property landscape is always changing. Please keep this in mind if there are some differences from how you see it and in the pictures.

Please drive slow when you get on Morris Lane. It's a one lane road with many dogs.
Upon arrival, our neighbor has a white boxer dog. Dont worry as she is more scared of you than you would ever be. As soon as you approach her she will RUN! SO do not worry.

There is an extra $50 PER DOG charge. This is so the maids does a more thorough job cleaning the dog fur. Guests caught bringing their pets in without paying this will be charged $150 PER DOG as the maid will need to schedule her time last minute. Urine stains or any other damages to the property by the dog will be charged back to the guests. ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ON THE BEDS OR SOFA.

The neighbors WILL call the police if you make too much noise after 10. Please keep the noise indoors.

If you had taken any nice photographs, feel free to share it with me. I am willing to pay you $15 per photo if i like it so i can post it on my listing :)

Bedroom 6 is the cabin outside. It has 2 bunk beds (4 single beds). It has electricity and a portable heater.

NEWLY installed water treatment system.. the water is tested to be safe to drink.

The host does not take any responsibility for the consumables.
- Please do not rearrange our furniture.
-Indoor fireplace is NOT to be used by guests. Our insurance provider does not insure this :(
- If you would like to host an event (i.e. wedding, graduation, not party), please speak with us about it first.
- You will need to clean up after yourselves. That includes the BBQ grill, dishes, oven, toaster, microwave, fridge, coffee machine etc. Treat my home like yours!
- If guests are found to have had a party without host permission which results in extra cleaning, guests will be responsible for extra cleaning charges and in the unfortunate event of the disruptions alerting neighbors, GUESTS WILL BE ASKED TO VACATE THE PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY with NO refunds and a $1000 charge for hosting parties.

- Lastly, because this is an Airbnb community not a hotel, and is also my home, please be respectful of the property and keep it clean before you leave. (Respect our property and our things)

There is town wide fire ban in the month of April and possibly a few weeks before or after April. Please ask us if using the campfire is a must for you. Doing a campfire during the fire ban would cause the firemen to goto the property, put out the fire, and fine $1,000. The $1,000 fine would then be charged to the guests that caused that.

DO NOT throw your cigarette butts anywhere. There is a black ashtray outside on the deck beside the dining table. If there are cigarette butts left on the deck or floor, a $10 charge PER cigarette butt would be charged to the guests.

If you have read it this far, THANK YOU for being a SUPER GUEST! Please reply back with my favorite quote: "EXPECT NOTHING, APPRECIATE EVERYTHING." so that I know that the house rules have been reviewed :)
