What is the minimum stay?

Our minimum stay is 30 nights, giving guests enough time to properly settle in and experience cottage living well beyond a short vacation. Whether you are looking to unwind, work remotely, or simply slow down, our monthly rentals are designed to make that extended time feel comfortable and worthwhile.

Yes, every property is verified for reliable high-speed Wi-Fi and includes quiet areas or dedicated spaces that work well for focused, uninterrupted work. You get the calm of cottage country without giving up the connectivity your day requires, so browse our long-term rentals to find a property that fits both your lifestyle and your schedule.

We understand pets are part of the family, and many of our cottages welcome them with features like fenced yards, lake access, and nearby trails. You can filter directly through our pet-friendly cottages to find properties that suit both you and your animal, with each listing clearly noting any size or breed considerations.

Yes, internet, heat, hydro, and water are all included in your monthly rate, so there are no separate bills to set up or track during your stay. This keeps the arrangement straightforward for both individuals and companies managing corporate accommodation, with one clear cost covering everything you need to live and work comfortably. If you have questions about what a specific property covers, our team is available through the customer support or you can browse our long-term rentals where each listing outlines what is included before you commit.

If you find yourself wanting more time, you can extend on a month-to-month basis depending on availability, and our team makes that process straightforward. Peak dates across Muskoka and Haliburton fill quickly, so reaching out early gives you the best chance of holding your property for longer.

Cleaning is included at the start and end of every booking, covering linens, kitchen, bathrooms, and common areas so the space is ready from day one. Optional mid-stay cleanings and linen refreshes are available as add-ons, and any questions about scheduling those services can be answered through our support hub.

Many of our cottages can be confirmed within 48 hours, which makes it possible to plan a last-minute stay without too much lead time. Availability moves quickly in regions like Georgian Bay and the Kawarthas, so checking our listings early gives you the widest selection.

Our cancellation terms are flexible, with options for rescheduling or partial refunds depending on the notice provided and the specific property agreement. Full details for each booking are shared before you commit, and our cancellation policy details outline the standard terms so you know exactly where you stand before confirming.
