Most cottages come without linens (bring sheets and towels?). Ask about things like heat and parking.

 

The realtor, Laurie, can get you a price if you're interested. In the summer, the weekly rent is around $1000 per week plus deposit, but 2 or 3 days in October should be much less. She has said the rent would be "pro-rated or something" and she knows who we are -- so tell her why you're coming! At that point, she'll contact cottage owners to ask them not to close up for the winter before then.

Laurie has told me about other places, as well, so she'll get you something, and paperwork can be faxed.

I can look at the places for you, with the realtor, if that will help. Locations are available on www.mapquest.com.

First come first served, so get with your club members and make a weekend of it. Let me know if you need assistance.
