The last long weekend of the summer is on its way and the kids will be back to school next week. Where has the summer gone?! 

There seem to be a lot of people looking for a last minute long weekend hideaway, and we now have a few listed on our Special Offers page although they are limited to families only.  Most owners would prefer to rent to families because they feel there is less risk of groups using the weekend as an end of the summer party excuse.

Sadly, we’ve heard of a few groups abusing the trust cottage owners put in them this year. One couple, after signing a rental agreement limiting the occupation of the cottage they had rented to two people, proceeded to invite a dozen friends for an all night party. The owners received complaints from the neigbours about noise, and spent the following week cleaning up broken glass from their waterfront. It is little wonder that cottage owners refuse to rent their properties to anyone under 25, when they learn of this type of experience.
