DISCLAIMERS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

LOST/STOLEN:

We are not responsible for any lost or stolen items.

GUESTS

You have contracted for a set number of guests during your stay. If you plan to exceed this amount with too many people can overload the septic system with unpleasant and expensive consequences. The system has been designed with a certain number of occupants in mind.

USE

The cottage is for personal vacation use only. All persons staying at the Property overnight (including guests) will be named on the Cottage Rental Application and it is your responsibility to ensure that all such persons and all guests abide by the rental terms and conditions. If You violate this provision, You will be deemed to have committed a fundamental breach of an Agreement which will entitle the Owner to evict You from the property without refund or other compensation.

WATER AND SEPTIC

The property is on a well and septic systems. Be mindful that wells can run dry from overuse, practice conservation (i.e., limit showers, only use the laundry if absolutely necessary and wait a few hours between laundry loads, etc.). The septic system is very effective; however, it will clog up if improper material is flushed. Natural waste and toilet paper are the ONLY things allowed down the drain. Other items, such as diaper wipes, tampons, food, coffee grinds and grease will back up the septic system and result in costly repairs. All children and guests need to know - and observe - this. If it is found that feminine products have been flushed and clog the septic system, you could be charged damages and repair costs.
Paper plates are a great alternative to running the dishwasher or doing dishes and practical for protecting the local cottage environment, septic and lake from harmful soaps and detergents.

FIRES AND FIREWORKS

The pellet stove in the house is not in operation during the warmer months (typically May through September). Guests are asked to use extreme caution when using the pellet stove in the living room in the cold season. There is an outdoor fire pit near the lake. Fires are not to be constructed anywhere else on the property. You must use firewoods only, and never leave the fire unattended at any time. Removal of trees on the property is not allowed. A water bucket should always be placed near the outdoor fire pit and the fire should be extinguished prior to retiring for the evening. You must obey the municipal fire bans as applicable during the dry summer months.

Campfires are to be contained and supervised and happen only in the campfire pit. It's your job to know it there is a fire ban in effect, and to adhere to it. Use only the wood and kindling designated for the campfire, not any firewood for indoor use. Always douse the fire thoroughly before leaving it.

There is a NO day burning during the warmer months. If the fire department is called for an incident pertaining to day burning, the costs for this will be billed to you.
