Cottage Care

Imagine arriving at your cottage for the first visit of the season, and finding everything ready for you? The yard cleared of winter debris, the lawn mowed, garden planted. You swing open the cottage door to find a fresh, clean space.

Sign up for our affordable Cottage Care Services and your cottage will be ready when you arrive.

We can handle some (or all) the chores of opening your cottage, and closing down when the season ends. With our full cleaning and yard maintenance service, we can handle the ongoing housework and yard work too!
