Ontarians are known for their love of the cottage and ever since the start of the pandemic, interest in cottage living has grown dramatically. If you\u2019re considering renting a cottage (or even buying one) see below for some key questions to ask and consider before you rent or buy. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Can the cottage be easily accessed by road? What is the route like?<\/li>\n
  2. Do you desire privacy or are you happy with neighbors close by? Figure out your comfort level before you book.<\/li>\n
  3. Water Access. Are you close to the lake? What is the distance to the lakefront?<\/li>\n
  4. Amenities and Food. How far is the local town? Are their restaurants and grocery stores nearby?<\/li>\n
  5. Travel Time. How far away is the cottage from your home? What is traffic like on a typical day and holiday weekend?<\/li>\n
  6. Are things like canoes onsite or close by for rent? Are there local attractions?<\/li>\n
  7. Fishing and Boating. Can you fish on the lake? Are boats easily accessible?<\/li>\n
  8. Can your pet come with you? Is the area safe for your pet?  <\/li>\n
  9. Rental Income. If you buy the cottage, is it desirable to rent out?<\/li>\n
  10. Is the cottage equipped with a septic tank? If yes, this could affect everyday tasks like what you can flush down a toilet or what can go down the drain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
