How to Book a Cottage

When you have chosen a cottage call us at 705-457-1754 or send us an e-mail and tell us which cottage you wish to reserve, and the dates you wish to reserve the cottage.

The cost of renting a cottage through the agency is the rental rate - taxes are already included in the price and there are no additional surcharges included in the rental price.

I will mail you a detailed contract or you can print it from the web site.

Fill it out and return it to me with a separate cheque for $350, which is the security deposit, and a post dated cheque for the full rental amount.

The $350 Security Deposit cheque is payable rigth away, plus a post dated cheque for the full rental amount should be dated 30 days prior to the commencement of your holiday.All cheques are to be made payable to Haliburton Cottage Rental.

After I receive the signed contract and cheques I will send you a booking confirmation.

All payments that arrive after the 30 day period pior to the start of your holiday must be made by certified cheque or money order.

You will receive an information package 10 days before your rental period. It will contain a map to the cottage,emergency phone numbers,other needed information and the Lock Box number for your cottage.

Security Deposit

The $350 security deposit will be returned to you within 30 days of departing the cottage if there were no damages by you or your group, excessive cleaning requirements, loss of dump card, long distance telephone charges, propane refill or other costs .

When you arrive at the cottage you will find a dump card or landfill permit which you will need when you take your garbage to the local garbage dump.  If you lose this card, $25 will be deducted from your security deposit which is the cost of a new landfill card at the local municipal office.  

After your departure, our staff checks the cottage before the next renter arrives. If the cottage needs cleaning after your use or repairs have to be made, the cost of that cleaning and those repairs will be deducted from your security deposit.

You are expected to leave the property(inside and outside)in the same condition as you found it.

Lock Boxes

All our cottages have a lock box attached to the door of the cottage. You will receive a map to the cottage and the code to open this lock box with your information package 10 days before your vacation is to start.  All you do when you arrive at the cottage is locate the lock box on the door, punch in the code provided for your cottage, open the lock box, open the cottage door with the key. When your vacation is over, ensure that the key is in the lock box and ensure that the lock box is indeed locked.
