- Property surrounded by little twinkly lights for the perfect outdoor ambience. Enjoy the outdoors late into the evening.
- Property has also outdoor bathroom next to firepit for easy access. Odourless, modern eco-toilet. This is in addition to the indoor, modern toilet in the main cottage.

The guesthouse:
We also have a guesthouse/bunkie with electricity, small desk and double bed for another couple or the kids that can be used in most seasons.
We only rent to one group at a time, so you would get the entire property to yourself and not have to share with other guests. The bunkie/guesthouse will not be rented separately from the main cottage.

Our place is perfect for couples who want to a vacation in the main cottage but also want to invite other couples or friends to use the bunkie for a few days during their stay, especially during spring, summer or fall. (Please advise us if you are inviting couples to visit during your stay as all guests need to be registered.) The guesthouse, with access to the outdoor bathroom and kitchen, is very private from the main cottage.

Wifi:
We have Starlink unlimited wifi! Use to your heart’s content. May experience some outages during extreme weather.

Neighbours: We have visible neighbours on one side of property. If you want a vacation where you don’t see anyone, our property may not be for you. All neighbours in the area are very respectful and friendly if you want to chat.
