House Guide

Welcome to The Canada House. First things first, please be mindful of the community and neighbours. During the COVID pandemic a lot of visitors to Prince Edward County were disrespectful. Be kind, wave to neighbours and treat the area and house with the respect that you would give your own home. Instead of referring to yourself as renters, refer to yourself as guests of Julie and Jeremy :). Also please familiarize yourself with the local Noise By-Law (View By-Law No. 143)

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us, we check the email frequently: concierge@thecanadahouse.com

What to Bring

We’ve done our best to equip the house with everything you need to enjoy your stay, including bathing towels, swimming towels and bed linens. All you’ll need to worry about is your food and any condiments etc. that you may need. Please be prepared to bring food and condiments home.

Garbage and Recycling

Each large black bag of garbage requires a garbage tag, which are located in the drawer under the microwave

The garbage and recycling routine: The garbage and recycling is located at the last drawer in the kitchen to the right of the sink. As those bags become fill please take bags to the small garage attached to the house. Just inside the garage, to the right of the sliding door there are large black garbage bags to put in the three garbage bins, from there you can put the smaller kitchen and bathroom bags in those bags. Once one of those bags are filled they can be sealed and tagged. Please keep lids on garbage at all times. The recycling bags go into the blue bins.

Water and Water Consumption

The house water comes from a well, as such, please keep showers short and conserve consumption where possible. Water is drinkable but if you’d like to drink slightly filter water, use the water tap on fridge.

The windows that you can open are listed below, please keep all crank windows closed and each windows not mentioned closed along (we are aware of the cracks in the front bay window and are waiting on a replacement):

Living Room: Window to the left of the fireplace and deck screen door
Primary Bedroom: Both windows.
Basement: Bedroom window and three windows at the front of the house.

Bedding, Towels and General Supplies

Please be mindful of the use of towels and linens. We appreciate you trying your best to reuse towels to save on laundry. All linens, bedding, towels and general supplies (bath and cleaning) can be found in the Primary Bedroom closet. There are also bathing towels in the drawer in the upstairs bathroom. All other cleaning supplies can be found under the kitchen sink and in the storage unit next to the walk-out door in the basement.

BBQ and Propane

Don't leave BBQ unattended. Please leave BBQ temperature to medium to low to avoid grease flames. As a reminder there is a fire extinguisher below the kitchen sink. To turn on the BBQ, turn on gas tank below, and turn on the ignitor burner (it’s labeled). Turn off tank when finished using. If you run out of propane there’s an extra tank in the small garage attached to the house (enter through the sliding door at back). If you empty a propane tank during your stay please let us know. BBQ utensils can be found in the kitchen.

Pool and Hot Tub

Please be safe around the Pool and Hot Tub area and don’t leave children unattended. Pool inflatables and toys can be found in the small garage attached to the house, there is also a pump for the inflatables. Every week St. Lawrence Pools comes to check on the pool and hot tub. If you notice anything that seems off please let us know and we will have them come. At times it may need more chlorine but we can direct you on adding some if necessary. If you notice any leaves etc. in the pool, feel free to use the pool net to clear the pool.

Please do your best to keep children out of the hot tub as it’s not ideal for children. To use the hot tub, undo the clips at the side of the pool facing the yard, use two people to remove the top of the Hot Tub and lean it up against the deck fence (Put top back on and secure clips again when not in use). You can turn the jets on using the control panel. Ideal temperature is 100 degrees. If you notice the water level has become low in the hot tub (below top jet), you can use the red bucket in the Primary Bedroom closet to add water from the kitchen sink. If you plan to go to the beach, please do your best to rinse off sand at the beach and not in the pool or hot tub.

Games and Puzzles

A selection of games and puzzles can be found downstairs in the dry bar storage.

Corn Hole

There is a wood corn hole set in the small garage attached to the house. Please put back in garage when finished for the day as it cannot be left in the rain.

Please be careful when using the fire pit. If it’s windy please avoid starting a fire. We suggest filling up the metal bucket with water found in the small garage attached to the house and bringing it with you to the fire when using the fire pit. This will be used to put out the fire when you are finished. There is a fire extinguisher under the kitchen sink. There may be some firewood at the back of the house but you will most likely need to buy a bundle in town. There also may be some paper in the small garage attached to the house along with marshmallow rostering sticks. In the drawers underneath the microwave there are flame starters. We have a burn permit printed at the house but again you will need to obtain a guest permit, per use by following the directions above. Familiarize yourself with he local Burn By-Law (By-Law No. 77)

This is our magic fireplace. It uses evaporated water to create the illusion of a burning fire. The remote for the fireplace can be found on the shelve above the stove. Just click the power button and in 2-5 minutes you can see the magic happen. Fireplace is child safe and doesn’t produce any heat but please still keep children from playing around it.

Basement Walk-Out (Emergency Exit)

Please keep this door closed and locked and don’t use the walk-out area for arrival and departing, only use for emergency purposes. Also please don’t turn off the light switch next to the walk-out door (not the one that works the ceiling lights).
