NO Smoking . This is a seasonal cottage. The heat source is the wood stove in the kitchen, and electric heaters, which may be used one at a time. We will be happy to show you how to manage the wood stove to take the chill off in fall or early spring. Please consider the weather when you book and make a reservation; it may be cold and you will have to rely on the wood stove and electric heaters to heat the cottage. The cottage is an older uninsulated summer cottage which can be used in the fall and spring with the addition of wood stove heat, which can make the cottage quite warm and cozy, but will need to be turned on, started, and tended. Water in the cottage is from a new beach well, which tests clean but we bring in drinking water anyway. The nearest grocery store is the Shursave in Trumansburg, about 10 min drive. They package their own tasty breakfast sausage! Trumansburg Farmers Market is on Wednesday evening, 4-7 pm for great local food and music including the famous Wide Awake Bread.The cottage was built to be comfortable in summer before air conditioning existed. There is an ice house from back when ice boats delivered a slab of ice to each cottage. We have refrigerators, but the ice house is still a cool place to keep beverages. We have elected not to install air conditioning because there is a cool evening breeze that comes down the hill each night and refreshes warmth that accumulated during the day. We get by with screens in the windows and fans and hope you will also find that comfortable and more sustainable.
