NEW Canadian Cottage Rental Listing & Search Engine:

A new website has emerged featuring Canadian cottages from the western coasts of Britsh Columbia to the Muskokas of Northern Ontario. The site will launch in late August of 2008 and will feature FREE listing services for all private listings. With investment backing from local private investors the site promises to offer the largest selection of cottage rental properties across Canada. The site for your bookmark is www.cottagerenter.com

About Renting: Renting a cottage can be a great alternative for young families trying to save money, or established people choosing an area where they might want to purchase their own. It gives you the opportunity to experience that region, and the amenities available to you, without the full commitment of a second property and all the attendant costs.

The site also contains a wide range of rental information such as tips and checklists to make renting a vacation property a smooth process. Renting a cottage can have potential pitfalls for both the property owner and the people paying to rent the cottage, chalet, or cabin. Knowing what to ask and what to get in writing before can help alleviate most of the issues. Some of the information included on the site is specific to people looking to rent a cottage, chalet, or cabin for their vacation stay; other information is targeted to the owners of the properties. This section of the site will be continually expanding, so be sure to check in regularly to see what new tips and tools we are finding and/or creating to help you get the most pleasure out of your interaction!
