Private waterfront oasis on the Trent River/Rice Lake. Walk to restaurants, shops, marina and trails. Unique property is on the Trans Canada Trail with intown amenities. The cottage s is decorated nicely, has a dock, fire table outside, gas fireplace inside, wifi, Netflix, cable tv channels, 2 kayaks, and 2 adult bikes. Ideal retreat for a couple's getaway! Persons with positive reviews from AIRBNB from previous stays will be considered. The main space is large with expansive views of the water with two large windows that open and receive a breeze. Sun pours in late afternoon and blinds are available. No shoes inside living area please as our granddaughter crawls on the floors. Leave shoes in the mud room, so slip on shoes are a must to bring. We prefer you only use the door marked Entrance which leads to the mud room as other door enters into laundry and next to bedroom. You are welcome to anything found in the cottage for use while renting. I do have different sizes of life jackets Small to XL, water proof kit for kayaks and Sup and some beach mats/coolers for an afternoon trip to the beach. There are pic nic tables, benches and shade at the beach. If you plan to bring a boat, please advise as our boat most likely will be parked at the cottage and is not included in the rental. I kindly ask upon leaving at 11am that you strip beds and put in basket in laundry room and take out garbage to can/recycling boxes in shed. All dishes/flatware/pots &pans must be washed and put away. This is a not pet cottage rental. No exceptions. I thank you in advance for respecting the rules. We are seriously considering guests with past positive reviews only. Unless you are prepared to tell us a bit about yourself/guest(s) and plans for the area you may be declined. We are being very particular on who we allow occupancy because we also uses this space. We do not wish the cottage to be rented for disorderly conduct, large groups that may upset our lovely neighbours or cause property damage. No parties or events are to be held and cameras are on the exterior of the property next to posted signs. If you are accepted as our guest, I can assure I will do everything to make your comfortable and provide a welcoming and hospitable stay! See our reviews and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Special offering until the end of November on a two day rental. Rental will include $50 gift card to a McGillicafey's pub and eatery in Hastings, available for dine in or take out and walking distance from the cottage. We have a lockbox for the entrance key, however I may make arrangements to meet you and turn over the key. Two days before you take temporary vacancy I will communicate with you and send you the code to obtain the key. The best way to get around Hastings is to walk. We are ten minutes to everything. Cycling is the next. We have two adult mountain bikes that are older but are maintained.(bring your own helmet). Parking is free and the cottage can easily hold two vehicles with one being covered in the car port. Self check in unless otherwise arranged. The town of Hastings is a community within the municipality of Trent Hills, Northumberland County, Ontario. It is situated on the Trent-Severn Waterway and the Trans Canada Trail. Hastings is known as "The Hub" for hub of activity, being a Lock 18, the mouth of Rice Lake. Hastings is the ultimate fishing town and has the only bridge in Ontario where fishing is permitted. Our cottage is a 4 season home, nestled on a dead end street and is walking distance to everything: Restaurants, the Locks, the Hastings Marina, Beach, trails, shops, LCBO/Beer Store/grocery and gas. Walking is your best way to see the town and next to that is cycling. There is free parking and space in town for street parking. Also, ATV's are permitted to operate on the trails and in town and must obey the rules of the road. My goal is to be a hospitable host and give you a great stay where my guests obey the rules and respect neighbours and my property and you will leave with a very happy memory from your stay at cottage by the locks!
