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, 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 thecontact support or you can browse our long-term rentals where each listing outlines what is included before you commit.

Yes, every property comes fully furnished and move-in ready, with kitchenware, linens, towels, and all the essentials in place so you can arrive and settle in without a trip to a store or a van full of belongings. The furnishings are set up for genuine day-to-day living rather than a stripped-back vacation setup, which matters when you are staying for 30 days or more and need the space to function as a proper home. Each listing on our long-term rentals page details exactly what is included at that property, and if you have specific requirements around setup or amenities, our team is available through the help support to confirm the details before you commit.

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.

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.

You can rent a cottage by browsing our full listings online, filtering by region, guest count, and amenities to find the right fit, then submitting an inquiry directly from the property page. If you would rather talk it through first, our rental advisors have been to every cottage on the roster and can help match you to a property that suits your timeline, budget, and requirements before anything is confirmed. For a walkthrough of the full booking process and what to expect at each step, our finding the right cottage page is a good starting point, and our renters information cover the application and confirmation process in detail.

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.
