HOUSE RULES (If you wish to book this listing, you must read, understand & agree to these rules):
1) We have a zero-tolerance policy for illegal drugs
2) Bringing pets = 500$ fee & guest(s) will be asked to leave premises immediately without refund—> There are people with severe pet allergies, so we ask for compassion & for you to respect this.
3) All forms of Smoking (tobacco, cannabis, e-cigarettes/vaping etc) is strictly prohibited inside any cottage or building (500$ fee for contaminating a cottage/building with third-hand smoke). Smoking is allowed everywhere else (outside only).
4) Important: Full disclosure on remoteness of location->
St. Esprit is remote, with no nearby restaurants, stores, shopping etc.
-->The closest....
A) Restaurant & full-size grocery store ca. 40 min away (St. Peter’s)
B) Convenience store ca. 20 min away (L’Ardoise)
C) Full size shopping mall or theatre= over 1 hr away (Sydney)
Please keep this in mind before booking as the remoteness of this location is not something we can change or improve on. Getting reviews that mention our location as being unfavourably remote is unfair to us which is why we want to disclose this beforehand to make sure everyone is fully aware of it before booking.
5) Important: Full disclosure on why cottage bear has a 2pm check in & 10 am check out time & why we can't offer you an earlier check-in in or a later check out-->
Please don't ask for an earlier check in or later check out time because it's not possible. We must stagger our check-in/check-out times so that we are able to clean all our cottages thoroughly. This cottage is typically for people who can arrive earlier and able to check out earlier the next day as well. Total stay duration is 21 hours, which is also more than many other Airbnb’s.
6) Hot tub Rules:
a) ALWAYS shower before using the hot tub
b) No glass at hot tub area—>
NEVER bring anything with glass to the hot tub area food (beverage or whatever else). In the rare case, if for some reason you believe there is a medical exemption to this rule you MUST contact us and let us know about this before booking. If for some reason you break this rule & glass breaks (not good.... especially if it lands inside the hot tub), you must immediately exit the hot tub and then
turn off the jets for the safety of yourself and others. Then you have to report this to us immediately so this issue can be taken care of as quickly as possible. This is not a joke & must be taken seriously.
c) All guests must sign a hot tub waiver/questionnaire before using the hot tub. This waiver can be found in the cottage when you arrive.
d) Do not open or close the hot tub cover unless we have granted you permission to do so.
e) No food/snack consumption in the hot tub-->
Food/snacks can be kept on the patio deck & can be consumed outside of the hot tub on the deck. Beverages & smoking are allowed but nothing is to be spilled into the hot tub (use the ash tray provided at hot tub
area). Disclaimer: Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of the hot tub to avoid unconsciousness, possible drowning, and the risk of fatal hyperthermia. Exceptions of course include drugs that have been
medically indicated for you to take by your physician, who has assured that they are safe for you to use before or during hot tub use.
g) Please leave the hot tub area clean & dispose of your trash in the sauna cabin trash can.
h) Pregnancy disqualifies one from hot tub use due to safety reasons.
i) Children under the age of 5 aren't permitted to use the hot tub. All children 5 years or older should have parents/guardians consult with the child's physician on whether hot tub use is safe for them & for how long they are allowed to remain in the hot tub. All children that decide to use the hot tub must be always accompanied by their parent/guardian.
j) Disclaimer: Anyone who decides to use the hot tub should consult with their physician to ensure that they are safe to use a hot tub. Exit the hot tub as soon as you feel hot, dizzy, nauseous, or light-headed. Check with your physician if it is safe for you to use the hot tub for extended periods of time & how often (as well as how long) you should take breaks to sufficiently cool off. If you wish to have more private hot tub time slots after thoroughly considering & implementing the statements
in the aforementioned sentence,
the pricing is 30$/extra hr
7) Full disclosure on last points of Cellular Service before arriving & Resort Wi-Fi:
a) Cellular Service—>There’s no cell phone reception on the resort, however, if your phone allows it & you are with a suitable carrier, you can turn on "Wi-Fi Calling" in your cellular network settings. For certain carriers, this allows you to make & receive phone calls and send/receive text messages. The last service point along the Fleur-de-lis Trail if travelling eastbound is next to the nova scotia transportation and public works building on top of the big hill in Grand River. If travelling westbound, ~12km before the entrance to our driveway, there will be full LTE reception.
b) Resort WiFi—>may experience interruptions during certain weather conditions.
8) Don't sneak in additional people (including brief visitors) without adding them to the reservation-->
Regardless of how minimal someone’s visit/stay is, they have to be added as a guest to the reservation.
Also, up to 1 child, up to and including 12 years of age, can stay for free if they share the rental (as described in the listing) with their respective parent/guardian who has booked the reservation. If the futon in the cottage needs to be prepared as a bed (regardless of whether it’s for a child or adult), there will be a fee of 30$.
9) Thoroughly check for your personal belongings (plugged-in devices/cables/chargers/clothing/ jewelry, wallet, passport etc.) when leaving the hot tub or when checking out of our cottage during departure--> We are not responsible for returning ANY items lost/forgotten to guests. If we find anything, they will be kept in a lost & found box for 30 days. During this time, you can come & arrange to pick it up & after this time, it will be thrown in the trash.
10) To protect guest privacy, taking off or landing a drone on our property is not permitted
11) FAQs: Cottage & Hot Tub location + walking times:
Hot tub location--> private forest clearing ~1.5 min away (walking) from Cottage Bear. ALL guests on our resort are entitled to pick a time slot per booked night for this hot tub. Walking from Cottage Bear to the lakeside beach= ~ 30 sec.
b) How private is the hot tub?--> Guests can block off the hot tub trail using the rope attached to a wooden post along the trail (this fully blocks off the trail) & lowering the "Do Not Enter" sign next to the rope for your convenience. Only the guests who have booked the hot tub for that specific time slot are allowed to enter the hot tub area during that specific time so all guests are aware of the rules anyway & no guest will ever have to share the hot tub with other guests. We have simply provided the rope barrier & sign for extra reassurance with regards to privacy.
c) How big is the cabin?—> 570 square feet. Please consider this given the number of guests that are coming.
d) Anything else I should note?—> see listing pictures. There is a stove with oven, fridge and dishwasher.
12) All services & items for which a fee must be charged must be paid before using the product or service (ex: extra hot tub time, firewood, washed/dried clothes, sauna etc.)
13) Please do not vandalize any part of our property. Landscaped rocks (such as the fireplace) or any other rocks are not to be thrown into the lake or smashed. Please leave the fireplace in a normal respectful condition & do not use our provided bath robes for the fireplace (these bathrobes are intended to be used inside the cottage and for the hot tub/sauna). Do not chop down trees or break off branches.
14) Propane is free for guests but remember to turn off the dial on the BBQ itself & the dial on propane bottle after you are done using it or it’ll drain the entire bottle of its propane!
15) If you need any laundry done we would be more than happy to do that for you (washing - $10 , drying - $10)
16) Bundle $20
17) Sauna (capacity= 2 people)--> 30$/hr (to cover electricity & maintenance)
