NOTES + RULES
QUIET TIME: In the summer months, we ask that our guests follow the quiet time rule from 11pm-7am to be respectful to our neighbors as sound travels on the water. In the winter months, the cottage is extremely private as the cottages surrounding the Haven are seasonal and our neighbors do leave for the winter season. There are cameras pointing towards the driveway, dock, and front deck as well asa sound monitoring device present at the cottage to ensure guest safety and toprotect our guests from any unwarranted noise complaints. These cameras are accessed only in the event of a safety issue or guest complaint.
Guests are welcome to park their boats, ATVs, and snowmobiles at the property. For more info on closeby boat launches and snowmobile trails, please visit the town of Minden website.
We have installed a brand new UV Filtration System, so no need to worry about bringing water with you! The tap water is safe to drink and cook with. If you prefer bottled water, is it available at any of the convenience stores close-by in Kinmount.
There is WIFI and a Smart TV at the cottage. Our Starlink internet connection is high speed and provides the perfect opportunity to work from the cottage.
Firewood is not included so please remember to pick up some firewood for your stay! There is firewood available for purchase at the the Shop n' Save in Kinmount on the way to the cottage. Please keep in mind that outdoor fires are only permitted in the summer at night from 7pm - 7am. Day burning is prohibited. This applies from April 1st to October 31st.
In the summer months, please make sure to bring along bug spray as the mosquitos and critters like to enjoy the cottage too!
Pet Friendly - We are animal lovers and welcome you to bring your furry family members! The cottage is not fenced in, so please take care and keep an eye on your pets! Please note that the water can only be accessed from the floating dock - there is no beach area or entry/exit point for pets to swim in the river. They are more than welcome to swim but would need to jump in off the dock and be lifted back out of the water.
Hills Haven is family and child friendly, but please keep a close eye on your kiddies around the river and hot tub! If you are bringing small children please be advised that you will need to bring your own travel crib and high chair.
Garbage Disposal: Please be aware that upon checkout, you will be required to take your garbage home with you. The cottage is located on a private road with no garbage pickup, and the Minden Hill dumps unfortunately allow access to local residents only.
WINTER STAYS:
There is a driveway with enough parking for 4 cars. While the roads leading up to the cottage will be plowed, please be aware that winter road conditions can be snowy and icy. Guests are responsible for arriving with a vehicle that is properly equipped for winter driving, including suitable winter tires when conditions require. We are unable to provide or cover towing, roadside assistance, or vehicle recovery services if your vehicle becomes stuck or disabled due to inadequate tires or winter driving conditions. Thank you for planning ahead and traveling safely.
The cottage is located in an area with lots of wildlife and friends. It is recommended to not leave any food on the counters overnight as this can attract critters. You will notice sound devices plugged in throughout the cottage to deter critters - the sound should not be detectable for yourself or your pets. It is recommended to leave these plugged in for the majority of your stay.
Stays in the colder months are less frequent, so we have provided the correct chemical to keep the hot tub squeaky clean for you. Our cleaners always balance the hot tub, however in the event that no one has been at the cottage for a few days, we recommend adding a scoop of chemical to the hot tub at the end of each day of the hot tub has been used that day. You will receive a mobile guide before your stay with easy-to-follow instructions and we are available if you have any questions!
During winter months, the river is off limits. Do not try to walk on the ice as the river is flowing and it is not safe to do so. Simply enjoy the view!
Should you need anything during your stay or have any questions, please feel free to message us at anytime! We are committed to making sure you have a 5 star stay and are just a message away!

Summary: This was the perfect cottage getaway for our Mini Moon!! The cottage was super clean, cozy and had lots to do! We enjoyed the hottub, took the kayaks out on the river and cozied up by the fire and played games. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals up there which was great. We brought our dog and she loved it too - lots of wooded trails nearby to take her for walks and she loved chasing all the chipmunks and frogs running around. The hosts also left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our recent marriage which was so kind of them! This cottage also has the bonus of all the super cute decor and was very aesthetically pleasing if you’re into taking cute cottage pics! The cheetah print chair was my personal fave :) we may just have to make Hills Haven our anniversary getaway spot from now on! 2 notes for future guests - bring something with you to roast s’mores on the fire if that’s you’re plan, and the hot tub took a bit of time to get as hot as we wanted so maybe start it up a few minutes before you plan on going in.
