My father winces every time he's asked. They rent it out, which adds to it unfortunately.

minimum stay of 7 nights and HAVE to check in on a friday… not making it particularly travel friendly.

mid april was C$3,377 which is $2,500 USD. not great but not awful. it has 4 bedrooms.

4 bedrooms! I'm thinking of something hobbit size, a real modest cottage.
