We pride ourselves in the cleanliness of our cottages and resort.

The cottages are thoroughly cleaned between guests. ALL bed linen is washed after every rental. We ask that you keep the cottage as clean as possible, i.e. clean up spills etc. Make sure dishes are clean, DRY, and put away. If sharing dishes between cabins, please return them to the proper cottage.
An additional minimum fee of $50 will be charged for any cabin left excessively dirty. This includes, stained linens, missing pots, sticky spills, re-cleaning of cutlery, pots, pans, glasses, bowls, as well as reorganizing everything in drawers and cupboards. This fee also includes furniture that has been moved and not put back.
Please be respectful when moving from one cottage to another. Please return anything taken from your cabin, back to the original cabin.
