Cottage watch, with a report you can hand your broker

A scheduled check of your closed cottage. Twenty points: heat, water, roof and snow load, windows and doors, pests, storm damage, and anything you ask me to keep an eye on. Photos are taken on site, and the written report lands in your inbox by the end of the same day.

Watch plans around Parry Sound, per visit

Monthly, 8 visits a season
$119
Bi-weekly, 16 visits
$99
Weekly, 32 visits
$85

Weekly plans run where three or more clients share a lake, so the drive stays fair. Winter access is on the client: keep the lane plowed, pre-authorize a plow contractor billed through at cost, or a $40 walk-in charge applies past 100 metres of unplowed lane. Book a closing and a watch plan together and the watch plan is 10 percent off.

What lands in your inbox

Every visit produces the same thing: a dated checklist and photographs of your place, emailed the same day. This is what your first report will look like; the photos in a real report are of your cottage.

The insurance part, told straight

Most cottage policies expect a seasonal home to be checked on a schedule or drained for the winter, commonly around every 30 days. Check what your policy asks for, then pick the plan that matches it. If your policy wants more than my plans cover, I'll tell you that on the phone. Every report is a dated record you can hand your broker.

After a big blow, watch clients get their storm sweep within 72 hours where roads allow, in signup order, with a text on timing the same day. The $249 storm call is for everyone else.

Every watch client signs a plain one-page agreement: what a check covers, what it doesn't, what happens if a visit is missed, and how your keys are handled (logged, no address on the tag).
