We would manage the entire rental process from start to finish. It begins with our staff matching guests to your cottage and corresponding to any inquiries prior to an application being submitted. Once an application is received, it’s time to get more information!
Our staff will then take care of all payments, directions, additional information and even provide a 24/7 emergency line for guests while they are at the cottage. We are always available to deal with any queries. We are also able to offer housekeeping in certain areas at NO COST to the owner. Our housekeepers check the property to make sure it is picture perfect, before our office staff release the security deposit to the guests and send the owner their cheque! Our staff work hard so you don’t have to!

Our staff will give you the opportunity to reserve the dates that you would like to use the cottage at the beginning of the year. Once you have selected all the dates that you are intending to use, we rent out the rest. If your cottage does not receive a booking for a certain week you are also able to reserve that week (this must be close to the date, as we often receive last minute bookings). The more weeks you make available in the summer, the more profitable rentals you will receive.

There are a number of items which guests expect to be available at the cottage. In order to have satisfied vacationers, your cottage will need to be equipped with enough cooking utensils, glassware, dishes and cutlery to provide for the maximum capacity of your cottage. In addition to this you will need basic appliances such as; kettle/coffeemaker, toaster, microwave and any other useful appliances that you can make available. All beds should have mattress covers, pillows, comforters and extra blankets for the odd cold spell. There should be paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels to start the week – guests can provide their own refills. OCR also requires adequate safety supplies to be accessible within the cottage, and clearly marked. These would be things such as fire extinguishers, first aid supplies and flashlights for potential power outages.

Optional inclusions which may make your property more coveted are; water toys (canoes/kayaks/floaties), games/puzzles, television and DVD capabilities, pool tables, foosball, ping pong, volleyball equipment, etc. These items can make the difference between a good vacation and a great one.
