For Your Consideration

Water: Each cottage is supplied by our own excellent deep well water; ~ tri-filtered, chlorinated & tested in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Health. Each cottage has a "BRITA" water filter, which will filter out the chlorine. The natural minerals in our water give it a light gold hue. Please think twice before bringing bottled water. As well as being cost effective, this is a very good ECO-alternative to bottled water. Recycling & reducing garbage: We have an excellent recycling program here in Muskoka! ~ Plastic bags, plastic food wrap, foil, all containers ~ washed out first with soap so as not to attract animals ~ are accepted. Complete lists are posted in each cottage & bins are provided. As much as 80% of everyday waste materials can be recycled. Our area does not yet have a green bin program, so, to reduce garbage, we greatly appreciate as much recycling effort as possible. Elm Cove Recycles Quick checklist: Flashlight, camera, clock, radio, bug spray, raingear, games(cards), sun block & sunglasses, beach towels. Phones & Internet: We do not provide WIFI. Both the Port Severn Library (at our exit #156) and Honey Harbour Library have public internet and FAX service and are within 10 minutes drive of Elm Cove. Hours for Honey Harbour and Port Severn ATM machine: The Honey Harbour Towne Centre in HH, the PetroCan Convenience Store at our Exit 156 & the Port Severn General Store at Exit 153 have ATM machines. Laundry:  'Severn Suds' is a very efficient Laundromat and self-serve car wash, located 10 minutes drive from Elm Cove, at the entrance to Hwy 400 (our exit #156) on Lone Pine Road. To save on laundry costs, bring your own supply of laundry detergent & softener. They have a change machine. Campfire Wood:  Purchase/obtain local wood for campfires only from Honey Harbour & area. Do not transport wood from other areas. It is illegal to do so, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, due to the possibility of spreading non-native pests.
