Cottage Essentials
Each cottage has been equipped with 2 Complimentary Starter Packs to make your arrival a little less hectic. Kitchen SP: All purpose cleaning liquid, dish soap (small qty) & paper towel. Bathroom SP: 1 roll of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, facial wipes & soap. As our Cottages are Housekeeping Rentals you’ll need to bring the balance of supplies that are required for your stay. All of the Bed, Bath & Dish Linens are also provided but please remember to bring your own Beach towels.
The essentials you’ll need are noted below. Don’t worry if you forget anything as we have basic items (water, garbage bags, toilet paper) for sale at the Lodge. There are also 2 convenience stores within a 10 minute drive of the property.
Shopping
You can choose to bring your own groceries or help support the local economy and buy fresh once you get here. There are 2 well appointed grocery stores along with beer and liquor stores available in downtown Barry’s Bay, a short 10 minute drive away. Combermere is 3 minutes south of us and has a general store/deli, cafe & laundry mat and of course ice cream stops!
