Host requests
- During the stay
NEIGHBOURS & NOISE (please read) Shea on the Bay is private and tucked away, with trees and space around the cottage, but there are neighbouring cottages on either side of us. Also, sound travels much further over the water than you'd expect, so music and voices from the deck, dock and hot tub reach them more easily than it seems. Being good neighbours is what allows us to keep hosting here.
- Loud music, shouting and loud profanities are not permitted at any time.
- Evening wind-down, 5 to 10 p.m.: keep outdoor music at background level, keep voices at conversation level on the deck, dock, hot tub and around the fire pit, and keep dogs inside or right beside you. If you'd like to keep the evening going, the games room and living room are perfect for it. Just close the doors and windows please.
- Strict quiet hours after 10 p.m.
- Kids being kids, running around and making noise, is completely welcome.
- We use outdoor decibel monitors (they do not record anything). Noise disturbances that can't be resolved may result in guests being asked to leave without refund and a $500 fine per hour of infraction. This is to ensure the shared enjoyment of everyone on the lake, and is enforced by local authorities.
PETS Well-behaved dogs are welcome: up to 2, for a $125 flat fee per stay. All pets must be declared in your booking.
- Never leave your dog alone at the cottage, inside or outside.
- Keep your dog leashed and with you outdoors, and bring them in if they bark at boats, wildlife or neighbours.
- Excessive barking (more than 5 minutes at a time, on and off for 15 minutes or more, or any barking during quiet hours) is not permitted.
- If we receive a barking complaint, we'll reach out right away. A second complaint means your dog stays with you off-property or is boarded locally at your cost.
- Please pick up after your pet ($300 cleaning fee if not) and keep pets off all furniture, including beds.
NO PARTIES OR EXTRA GUESTS Guests will be charged a $1000 fine per occurrence in the event of any parties or extra guests, on top of any damages and additional cleaning fees. We're all for having a good time, but respecting our neighbours is vitally important to maintaining a happy coexistence.
NO SMOKING OR VAPING INSIDE Guests will be charged a $500 fine on top of any damages.
GARBAGE & RECYCLING Guests are permitted one bag of garbage and one blue bin of recycling during their stay. Anything extra we ask guests to dispose of on their own. We're happy to dispose of anything left behind, but please know there is a $25 per bag fee.
ALGAE BLOOMS Parts of Three Mile Lake may experience algae blooms from late August to October,
