Smoking is allowed everywhere else (outside only). 4) Important: Full disclosure on remoteness of location-> St. Esprit is remote, with no nearby restaurants, stores, shopping etc. \-->The closest.... A) Restaurant & full-size grocery store ca. 40 min away (St. Peter’s) B) Convenience store ca. 20 min away (L’Ardoise) C) Full size shopping mall or theatre= over 1 hr away (Sydney) Please keep this in mind before booking as the remoteness of this location is not something we can change or improve on. Getting reviews that mention our location as being unfavourably remote is unfair to us which is why we want to disclose this beforehand to make sure everyone is fully aware of it before booking. 5) Important: Full disclosure on why cottage bear has a 2pm check in & 10 am check out time & why we can't offer you an earlier check-in in or a later check out--> Please don't ask for an earlier check in or later check out time because it's not possible. We must stagger our check-in/check-out times so that we are able to clean all our cottages thoroughly. This cottage is typically for people who can arrive earlier and able to check out earlier the next day as well. Total stay duration is 21 hours, which is also more than many other Airbnb’s. 6) Hot tub Rules: a) ALWAYS shower before using the hot tub b) No glass at hot tub area—> NEVER bring anything with glass to the hot tub area food (beverage or whatever else). In the rare case, if for some reason you believe there is a medical exemption to this rule you MUST contact us and let us know about this before booking. If for some reason you break this rule & glass breaks (not good.... especially if it lands inside the hot tub), you must immediately exit the hot tub and then turn off the jets for the safety of yourself and others. Then you have to report this to us immediately so this issue can be taken care of as quickly as possible. This is not a joke & must be taken seriously. c) All guests must sign a hot tub waiver/questionnaire before using the hot tub. This waiver can be found in the cottage when you arrive. d) Do not open or close the hot tub cover unless we have granted you permission to do so. e) No food/snack consumption in the hot tub--> Food/snacks can be kept on the patio deck & can be consumed outside of the hot tub on the deck. Beverages & smoking are allowed but nothing is to be spilled into the hot tub (use the ash tray provided at hot tub area). Disclaimer: Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of the hot tub to avoid unconsciousness, possible drowning, and the risk of fatal hyperthermia. Exceptions of course include drugs that have been medically indicated for you to take by your physician, who has assured that they are safe for you to use before or during hot tub use. g) Please leave the hot tub area clean & dispose of your trash in the sauna cabin trash can. h) Pregnancy disqualifies one from hot tub use due to safety reasons. i) Children under the age of 5 aren't permitted to use the hot tub. All children 5 years or older should have parents/guardians consult with the child's physician on whether hot tub use is safe for them & for how long they are allowed to remain in the hot tub. All children that decide to use the hot tub must be always accompanied by their parent/guardian. j) Disclaimer: Anyone who decides to use the hot tub should consult with their physician to ensure that they are safe to use a hot tub. Exit the hot tub as soon as you feel hot, dizzy, nauseous, or light-headed. Check with your physician if it is safe for you to use the hot tub for extended periods of time & how often (as well as how long) you should take breaks to sufficiently cool off. If you wish to have more private hot tub time slots after thoroughly considering & implementing the statements in the aforementioned sentence, the pricing is 30$/extra hr 7) Full disclosure on last points of Cellular Service before arriving & Resort Wi-Fi: a) Cellular Service—>There’s no cell phone reception on the resort, however, if your phone allows it & you are with a suitable carrier, you can turn on "Wi-Fi Calling" in your cellular network settings. For certain carriers, this allows you to make & receive phone calls and send/receive text messages. The last service point along the Fleur-de-lis Trail if travelling eastbound is next to the nova scotia transportation and public works building on top of the big hill in Grand River. If travelling westbound, \~12km before the entrance to our driveway, there will be full LTE reception. b) Resort WiFi—>may experience interruptions during certain weather conditions. 8) Don't sneak in additional people (including brief visitors) without adding them to the reservation--> Regardless of how minimal someone’s visit/stay is, they have to be added as a guest to the reservation. Also, up to 1 child, up to and including 12 years of age, can stay for free if they share the rental (as described in the listing) with their respective parent/guardian who has booked the reservation. If the futon in the cottage needs to be prepared as a bed (regardless of whether it’s for a child or adult), there will be a fee of 30$. 9) Thoroughly check for your personal belongings (plugged-in devices/cables/chargers/clothing/ jewelry, wallet, passport etc.) when leaving the hot tub or when checking out of our cottage during departure--> We are not responsible for returning ANY items lost/forgotten to guests. If we find anything, they will be kept in a lost & found box for 30 days. During this time, you can come & arrange to pick it up & after this time, it will be thrown in the trash. 10) To protect guest privacy, taking off or landing a drone on our property is not permitted 11) FAQs: Cottage & Hot Tub location + walking times: Hot tub location--> private forest clearing \~1.5 min away (walking) from Cottage Bear. ALL guests on our resort are entitled to pick a time slot per booked night for this hot tub. Walking from Cottage Bear to the lakeside beach= \~ 30 sec. b) How private is the hot tub?--> Guests can block off the hot tub trail using the rope attached to a wooden post along the trail (this fully blocks off the trail) & lowering the "Do Not Enter" sign next to the rope for your convenience. Only the guests who have booked the hot tub for that specific time slot are allowed to enter the hot tub area during that specific time so all guests are aware of the rules anyway & no guest will ever have to share the hot tub with other guests. We have simply provided the rope barrier & sign for extra reassurance with regards to privacy. c) How big is the cabin?—> 570 square feet. Please consider this given the number of guests that are coming. d) Anything else I should note?—> see listing pictures. There is a stove with oven, fridge and dishwasher. 12) All services & items for which a fee must be charged must be paid before using the product or service (ex: extra hot tub time, firewood, washed/dried clothes, sauna etc.) 13) Please do not vandalize any part of our property. Landscaped rocks (such as the fireplace) or any other rocks are not to be thrown into the lake or smashed. Please leave the fireplace in a normal respectful condition & do not use our provided bath robes for the fireplace (these bathrobes are intended to be used inside the cottage and for the hot tub/sauna). Do not chop down trees or break off branches. 14) Propane is free for guests but remember to turn off the dial on the BBQ itself & the dial on propane bottle after you are done using it or it’ll drain the entire bottle of its propane! 15) If you need any laundry done we would be more than happy to do that for you (washing - $10 , drying - $10) 16) Bundle $20 17) Sauna (capacity= 2 people)--> 30$/hr (to cover electricity & maintenance) ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - No lift - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: smoking is allowed outside of the cabin ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the sea - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Snow sports gear - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

After spending four days exploring the area, it was a treat to jump into the whirlpool. One evening counting the stars, the next listening to the waves crash against the stones as the sun was setting. Another enjoying the Ocean mist swirl around us, and our last evening as the moon rose above the tree tops, it's reflection shimmering on the water. Walking back to make a tea, and sit before the fire. Liane is a wounderful and thoughtful host! The cabin had everything we needed and more. ##### Markus M.

You will not regret it! My wife and I stayed here for the second time this past weekend, and had an amazing time yet again. We stayed in Cottage Bear, which was very clean, comfortable, and well outfitted. The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views of the lake from our cottage. The hot tub is very private, and the fire pits by the lake were a great way to end each night. This is a prefect spot for a romantic getaway. One of the best undiscovered resorts in Nova Scotia! ##### Ben P.

We rented this cottage for our 26th Wedding Anniversary and were really looking forward to relaxing and enjoying the view. It was a wonderful spot, with an amazing view. The hot tub was in a beautiful private location. The host stayed in contact by messaging every so often but we had complete privacy. We would definitely go back and stay for longer next time. ##### Heather C.

Hi Lianne, I finally got a chance to sit down to write a review of your property, but I don't seem to be able to add it to the site so I wanted to send it along to you directly. We found your property when we were looking for a romantic cottage with a hot tub for my husband's birthday in October. We were thrilled with your property. The Bear Cottage had everything that we could want - it was very clean, fully equipped, warm & cozy. We were relaxed the minute we walked through the door. That evening we enjoyed an hour of peace and tranquility in the hot tub, watching the sunset and the moon appear over the lake. The landscaping around the hot tub made us feel like we were in a private garden, and it was so dark and quiet that we felt like the only 2 people in the whole world. After the hot tub, we enjoyed hot showers and went to the large fire pit by the lake. We toasted homemade bread over a roaring fire and soaked up the beautiful fall evening. The next day we drove to St Peters and went for a walk along the canal. We visited the Christmas shop and found a couple of priceless keepsakes. We stopped at Point MIchaud and spent the afternoon walking along the beach watching the sandpipers run. It was so clean, and the sounds of the birds and the waves were very soothing. We had such an amazing day that we re-booked for the same weekend next year as soon as we returned to the cottage that afternoon. That evening you surprised us with a bottle of wine for my husband's birthday and it was the perfect end to a perfect day. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful get-away. See you next year Kathy & James ##### Kathy M.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexa W. 13 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful & Quiet This is a beautiful spot with a lovely view of the lake. Bear cottage is very rustic modern, you can tell they paid attention to all details. My only complaint would be that it says private hot tub but that actually means a booked time slot to the shared hot tub. You're only allowed a 1 hr time slot per night which means it sits idle most of the time. Extra time is $30/hr. The hot tub area is great but more access would be nice in my opinion. Otherwise a lovely spot with all of the things necessary for relaxation! ##### Alexa W.

Liane was extremely friendly and we had everything we could’ve asked for. We will go back in the summer for a longer period of time to unwind and relax. ##### Candace S.

The cabin was warm and cozy. Fairy lights lit our way to the hot tub which was open to the night sky. Wonderful weekend! ##### Jocelyn H.
