Frequently Asked Questions

Check-in time is 2pm – 6pm. Navigate to the main cottage at 58 Pemi Shore Ln where we will meet you, show you the cottage, and answer any questions you might have. If you’re going to be arriving after 6pm, please let us know.
Check-out time is 11am or earlier. Please leave trash in the outside bins, the keys on the table, and the cottage generally how you found it. We’ll take care of the rest!
Jane stays in the main cottage and John is in the RV. Each cottage has plenty of privacy. 
100% refund if cancelled at least 30 days before check-in 50% refund if cancelled between 14 and 30 days before check-in (we might be able to rent it at a discount) No refund if less than 14 days before check-in (likely won’t be able to rent it even with a discount)
The essentials will be there on arrival, but we are not a hotel and do not re-stock them during your stay.

We are in the Pemi River valley, so reception may be spotty. Just in case, we highly recommend turning on WiFi Calling (it’s what we use).
In addition to normal cleaning, we are wiping contact surfaces (counters, handles, switches, etc) with disinfecting wipes then spraying the cottage with the eco-friendly Bioesque Botanical Disinfectant Solution.
No. Nobody can guarantee that.
Each waterfront cottage (Beach cottage and Riverside Cottage) has a dock to use. The Treehouse Cottage can use our main dock.

Yes, NH requires a fishing license you can order online from Fish & Game or from the local town clerk or even Wal-Mart. Price varies depending on length of license, from a day up to a year.
