An article in the Ottawa Citizen this week had some good advice for those looking for a cottage rental this summer. However, I was a surprised to see a quote from another rental agency saying this:
“….cottages in eastern Ontario are less likely to be equipped with satellite television and other trimmings than those in the Haliburton and other vacation hot spots.”
That may be true if you rent with other agencies or from private advertisements, and for some people a rustic cottage with minimal facilities with obligatory mouse poop and dust bunnies is what cottage vacations are all about. However, if you are more discriminating about your vacation accommodation you’ll be looking for cottages with the features that will make your vacation more enjoyable and less time consuming.
From our perspective, it doesn’t matter where a cottage is – location should not impact on the quality of the accommodation. Each one is inspected and we turn down those that don’t meet our high standards. Just take a look at our eastern Ontario collection and see the excellent features and facilities in each. And if you are a cottage owner in this part of the province and want to work with an agency that values quality in each property we represent, just call us for an information pack. We’d love to meet you.
