Other things to note
We welcome dogs, but unfortunately, due to allergies, WE CANNOT ACCEPT CATS.
There is a security camera above the front, outside door. It only covers the driveway area and audio is turned off. It is used for security when nobody is at the house.
This is a country home, so some things to note are:
-The house has some small quirks that add to it's charm, but may be different from city homes
-In spring, summer, and fall there may be mosquitos and other insects that can bite, so insect repellent may be a good idea. While there are screens on all windows, insects may get inside from time to time when doors are opened and closed.
-Note that we live on a dirt road, so there may be dust and some potholes/bumpiness on that small stretch of the road before our driveway.
-We use well water, which is tested and safe to drink. It may taste different from city water, so if you prefer to drink bottled water, it is available at the nearby market.
-Water pressure in the home can be variable. Only one shower can be used at any one time and if you run water using appliances such as the dishwasher or washing machine while showering, pressure in the shower will drop.
-There is a sump pump in the crawlspace under the house that runs periodically throughout the day. This is nothing to be concerned about, but you may hear it from time to time. It just keeps groundwater out of the crawlspace.
-Walls are not very well sound proofed on bedrooms/bathrooms
-There is no fenced yard, so dogs need to be kept on leash or well-supervised and children supervised.
-There is anpath through the forest behind the house, but it is very natural and the first part is wetland and can be very wet and muddy depending on how much rain we've had, so rain boots may be needed. There may also be logs to climb over in places, which adds to the adventure, but may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
-This is a country home and we try to leave things as natural as possible to provide homes for pollinators and other Woodland creatures. We allow natural wildflowers to grow and only mow areas that are essential.

Summary: Our adult family of four celebrated my sister-in-law's milestone birthday over 3 nights at this property. We had an amazing time. The property was as described, owner was easy to talk to and responsive and the surroundings were beautiful. We were able to take advantage of proximity to Ottawa, local Ski Hills and Nordik Spa. Extra touches were made by the owner to be sure we were comfortable (including extra instructions book, coffee pods, some snacks). I enjoyed the extra care taken to add privacy to the loft and living room if needed through the addition of curtains. This addition also helped with minimizing light in the morning so we weren't woken up too early. We had a considerable amount of snow over the weekend and someone came and plowed the driveway before we were even awake. Note that the water pressure is quite low, but this is normal for a property of this type and we were able to manage just fine. We would love to come back again in the winter, but could see how it would be a great property in the summer as well.

Summary: At first glance this property look lovely. Then you realize that the grasses are so tall My 110 lbs dog disappeared in it, so did huge standing rocks and tree stumps, that he encountered (hard) as he romped. The “driveway” portrayed in the pictures, leading to the trail, is an overgrown swamp. After numerous attempts to get to the trail in the woods, we had to give up- and this trail was the main reason we rented this property. Around the buildings are piles and piles of garbage , some material sharp and dangerous. And in the cottage itself, nearly everything you go to use, is broken. There are two showers, the upstairs shower head is not useable just hanging down, the handheld Works. In the downstairs shower, there is no mixing battery so it’s with freezing cold or boiling hot. And so on and on and on. We made the best of it, because that’s how we are. But we would never return.

Summary: This is a wonderfully quiet property just a few minutes from the center of Perkins, yet isolated from its neighbors. I was traveling with my dog and it was a good location for the two of us. The owners were friendly and responsive.
