I can’t believe that summer is so nearly over and the kids will be back at school in less than 2 weeks. Given the amount of people looking for last minute availability, there’s still many wanting to grasp those final days on the water. So, how do you find that elusive long weekend availability?
For most cottage rental agencies, the high season doesn’t finish until September 8th, and some will only accept weekly rentals up until then. Others may offer an extended week from 25th or 26th August through the long weekend. And a few may accept rentals from Friday to Monday, but will be charging a premium rate. Check the Special Offers page on CLRM which will be changing frequently as more cottages are released for the long weekend. CottageLINK also has a Last Minute page where you may find some availability as well.
When you are renting a cottage, remember that the maximum number of people a cottage will accommodate includes all children, and that many cottages will not accept pets. If you choose not to declare the actual numbers in your group, or take a pet to a cottage that does not allow them, it is likely you’ll be asked to leave, or at the very least, the owner will charge a hefty fee from the damage deposit.
