We don’t allow parties or loud music and rent exclusively to quiet couples and families. Guests that intrude on the privacy or the ability of others to enjoy a quiet holiday, will be asked to quiet down or leave.

Our township only does basic recycling. That means we DO recycle:

• metal cans (pop, soup or tomato tins)
• glass bottles and jars
• plastic trays, bottles and yogurt/sour cream containers
• CLEAN aluminum foil
• bond paper and newsprint
• boxboard and cardboard
• milk, juice and egg cartons

We DO NOT recycle:

• paper towels or Kleenex
• dirty paper plates or foil
• dirty take out boxes
• grocery bags, paper towel/toilet paper bags, or the plastic top from cases of pop

Recycling goes in the garbage cans with clear plastic bags, and garbage into a can with a green garbage bag.

Cozy Cottages: the cans are in front the shed beside Cozy West.

Avoca North: a bin with cans in front of the cottage

Avoca South: a bin in front of the pump house beside the firepit.

If you are unaccustomed to well-water, you may find it  has an unusual flavour due to the absence of chlorine and the high mineral content.

Avoca Ridge South and both Cozy Cottages cottages have an iron filter on the water supply to improve the flavour and smell of the water.

Avoca North, without the filter, has a slight iron/sulphur smell and does leave rust stains on the toilet, sink and shower.
