It is estimated that about one-third of the individuals who come in contact with the parasite will develop swimmer’s itch. Seasonality and lake levels can affect the presence of this parasite; snails like warm shallow water. As a precaution, best to towel dry thoroughly after swimming to remove any parasites on your skin.

What to expect:

* Water – Drinking water comes in through the drilled well and runs through a UV filtration system and reverse osmosis; great for drinking.
* Linens/towels – You need not bring a thing! Pillows, blankets, and mattress protectors are provided. Bed sheets, indoor and outdoor towels are provided in complimentary cleaning/linen package.
* Cleaning - Clean on departure service provided. Guests are still required to leave the cottage tidy, all food removed, garbage and recycling (properly sorted as per Welcome Book instructions) and taken to the landfill on departure using provided pass.
* BBQ Gas is provided via direct hook-up to cottage propane.
* Smoking/vaping and the lighting of candles is not permitted within the cottage.
* Firewood is provided for the campfire.
* Ross Point owners will allow two adult dogs on approval.
* Please be sure to watch and clean up after your dog and do not allow it to wander to the neighbour's property.
* Water levels at the lake: you may notice that, when you arrive at the cottage, the lake level/shoreline may be different from the photos you saw on the listing. That's because water levels are controlled by the Trent-Severn Waterway(TSW). Historically, this means lake levels tend to be higher in June-July and drawn down in August-September.
