IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE BEFORE YOUR STAY <3

Cleaning
=======
The cleaning is optional avd very much add-on-able lol. We like to keep our rates as pocket-book friendly as possible, so we ask ya to leave the cottage as you found 'er - in a clean, re-rentable state. Some folks aren't keen to herd everyone into cleaning up so, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have someone else do the bulk of the cleaning for ya, easy peasy. You get a sweet discount if booked in advance (so we have time to line up all our ducks) and the cost depends on your group size:

Wee Barn sweeping (1-6 peeps): regularly $265 +tax or book early for just $165 +tax

Middlin’ Barn Sweeping (7-12 peeps): regularly $395 +tax or book early for just $295 +tax

Biiig Barn Sweeping (7-12 peeps): regularly $495 +tax or book early for just $395 +tax

Indoors
=======
• The wi-fi service is high speed, though it's countryside high speed, yee-haw!
• As we're out in the boonies without access to city pipes, the water is pumped in directly from the lake. It's triple filtered on the way in though, so she comes out fresh as a daisy. There’s also a handy dandy water crock in the kitchen that takes 18L jugs of bottled water (available at all the grocery stores up here in the boonies, if you want to grab one on the way)
• You’ll find 2 full bathrooms + 1 half bathroom
• She’s a true vintage Muskoka cottage 💛 - full of charm, stories, and cozy character. Like any old soul, she’s got a few rough edges here and there, but nothing that gets in the way of a good frolic

Outdoors
=======
• The lake is shallow by the shore (fab for kids & wading, but not ideal for diving or docking boats)
• We keep the shoreline natural with no manicured lawns or heavy alterations. We sort out a six foot area specifically for a toddler wading area, and for the rest we like to leave the vegetation "as she comes" so that the wildlife can make a home in it :)
• Quiet, peaceful surroundings. You’ll have nature as yer neighbor 🌲as well as real-life cottage neighbors 🏡. So, while days are for laughter and lakeside fun, we ask that quiet time be respected after hours to keep the good vibes flowing for everyone


Got Questions?
============
Just ping us and we'll give ya the low-down :)

Rates may be higher for larger groups, or on special holidays - give us a shout

Dates scooped?
=============
Worry not! We've got two other Muskoka lakeside cottages with similar loveliness - just click our profile picture above for all the details :)

Escapades™
==========
Cottage getaways are much more than just having a roof over our heads - it’s about spending time together, enjoying each other’s company.

Similar to renting skis & snowboards from a mountain lodge, or snorkels & flippers from a tropical resort, bring your cottage experience up a notch by sharing fab Escapades™

Whether you're looking to relax, play or celebrate, there's lots of loveliness to choose from such as karaoke, six foot tall jumbo "jenga", talking telescope, yoga mats & meditation cushions, limbo, treasure hunt, massage chair, giant "twister" for up to 16 peeps & much more. Check 'em out on our website (search the web for Trenanthia Cottage) and we can add 'em on for ya, easy peasy.

Life is bigger™ with lasting memories
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an ironing board.
