Pet Friendly. Our cottage is set back about a quarter mile from the road (all back roads here so minimal traffic noise), in nestled next to the pond in the middle of the woods. Our pet friendly solar powered vacation cottage is a perfect getaway for anyone trying to spend some alone time with nature! We also have various shared hiking trails through the woods surrounding the cottage for campers and cottage guests to enjoy! Guests staying at our vacation cottage are able to enjoy a furnished bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and dining/lounging space. As well as exclusive access to the pond (no fishing), kayaks, dock, hot tub, fire pit, and large deck with a grill! Both rooms in the cottage are complete with a Fire TV logged into many of our streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime, Max, Disney+ and Hulu. We have upgraded to a low flush toilet system so please disregard all reviews about the composting toilet, is has been replaced! We have hiking trails through the woods surrounding the cottage that are shared with our campers. Campsites are on the other side of the property from the cottage and campers are told that the cottage and pond are off limits and to respect your privacy. There are blinds on the windows to allow for complete privacy while in the cottage. We do live on property and occasionally drive past the cottage to get around, we try to keep this to a minimum and use quiet golf carts when possible. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Netflix - Smart TV - Stereo - Streaming services ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Front entrance ramp - Gravel flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator (single-level property) - Single level property - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Outside only. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Composting - Double-glazed windows - Electric car charging station - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local culture and ecosystem education - Recycling - Solar energy - Unit size: 450 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/81000000/80690000/80687700/80687607/2e6f56df.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perched in the Trees, Very Private, Screened in Porch with view Needmore - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 163 reviews CA $125 CA $236 total includes taxes & fees Nov 3 - Nov 4 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=80687607&PinnedHotelID=80687607&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78400000/78398400/78398339/8725ef83.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Backyard creek, screened porch Needmore - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 25 reviews CA $125 CA $414 total includes taxes & fees Nov 2 - Nov 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=78398339&PinnedHotelID=78398339&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71430000/71421300/71421217/efe2099a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beaver Lodge At Creekside Resort Clearville - Pool - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $280 CA $346 total includes taxes & fees Nov 2 - Nov 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=71421217&PinnedHotelID=71421217&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101010000/101003900/101003821/0e6dcf25.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 5 -Star Luxury Mountain Getaway - Grandview Lodge - HEATED POOL IS OPEN !!!!
