The Space:

The cottage is right on the water, and it has a spectacular view.
It will feel like home as soon as you step inside!


Guest Access:

The whole cottage is at your disposal (the rooms, the sauna, and anything you see in the pictures).


Additional Notes:

1. Please note that water equipment including but not limited to kayaks, canoes, boats, and life jackets are NOT provided by us as part of the booking. They can be brought by guests themselves or rented from nearby shops.

2. Please note that the lake is only available to use from May to early September of each year. Outside of this period, the lake is not available to use due to low water level and/or being frozen. Outside of those times, guests may still use the tables and chairs on the dock and enjoy the view when and if the weather allows.


House Rules:

1. Check-in time is at 5:00 p.m. local time. If you'd like to do an early check-in, you can request one and we will let you know if it's possible. Check-out time is at 11:00 a.m. local time, but if you need more time and we don't have a cleaning scheduled right away, we are happy to give you some more time.

2. We do not have any water equipment (including life jackets) at the cottage and do not offer them ourselves, but there are many places nearby that rent them, including Crystal Lake Marina that rents all kinds of water equipment and is a few minutes of driving away from the property. Of course, you can also bring your own water equipment. Please note that guests accept all responsibility for the equipment they bring and use in the lake. Additionally, life jackets are highly recommended to use for safety, and children should be supervised at all times by adults when near the lake and should not swim alone under any circumstances as the lake can get deep even near the dock.

3. Please remember that the tap water is not drinkable. Therefore, please bring big bottles (gallon jugs) of water to use with the dispenser machine at the cottage. They are available to purchase from Walmart, Food Basics, etc.

4. No smoking allowed in the cottage. There is a $500 charge if this rule is broken.

5. There is a $69 charge per guest per night for each additional guest that you bring above 13 guests. For children, this only applies to those who are 2 years old and above. This will be calculated and applied automatically by the platform when booking.

6. This cottage follows a strict "No Pets" rule. If this rule is violated and the guests bring any pets, a $500 charge per pet will be applied for every day that they stay.

7. No parties or loud excessive noise in the cottage. There are neighbors who will not hesitate to call the police if you are being excessively noisy. This can lead to you being removed from the premises if it persists. Also, if we find the place very messy, we have to charge an extra $50 for every extra hour of cleaning required.

8. If guests damage any items at the cottage, they may be responsible for a damage fee depending on the damaged item and the damage protection plan covering the stay.

9. Guests take full responsibility for any accidents, injuries, or illness that occur while on the premises or its facilities. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises. Guests recognize that they may personally purchase insurance to protect themselves in such events.

10. Guests take full responsibility for ensuring they take all personal items with them on the checkout day and that no items are forgotten or lost.

11. During your stay, please let us know if you notice anything that could present a danger or damage to the cottage or any individuals.

12. Please do not trespass onto the neighbors' property. That includes going on their dock. They may call the police.

13. You may use our driveway to park your cars. It fits up to 6 cars. Please do not park on the road or you risk getting towed.

14. On the checkout date, please separate all of your recyclables and non-recyclables by putting them in clear plastic bags available in the laundry. Please do not use black plastic bags for this under any circumstances, as it will require us to pay fines to the disposal company. There is a large garbage bin in front of the property to put your garbage bags in before checking out.

15. Please note that there is a maximum of 6 garbage bags per group. Each bag after that would be a $20 per bag charge.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. Before your arrival, we will send you a message about some of the above points as well as some additional information.
