Come to hike, fish, ski, canoe, tube, and connect with nature. You can take your dog for a ramble, explore nearby hamlets, or have a spa treatment. Phoenicia is the perfect spot to escape city stress. Once you are here, there is plenty to do within walking distance. (You can also just relax and do nothing!) Please note** Phoenicia is in the countryside and things are a bit different here. We have a volunteer fire dept that is activated by a siren, which goes off every day at noon and as needed for emergencies. We have wildlife and insects. We have poor cell phone service in some areas. We have three creeks within three blocks of Bear cottage as well as a lot of rain, so expect some moisture.
Important note- the person who rented the cottage must be the guest checking in. We want to know who our guests are. (NO SUBLETS ALLOWED.)
Maximum of eight guests (not counting those under 2 years). No on street parking is permitted and drive way will accommodate four cars parked end to end in the driveway.
NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED IN THE COTTAGE OR ON PORCHES. (If you smoke in the yard, please do so far from the cottage, pick your cigarette butts, and throw them in the outside garbage can. Thank you.)
PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF NEIGHBORS AND NOISE LEVELS. No outside noise after 10pm, please.
DON'T FEED THE BEARS.
I hope that you have a lovely drive to Phoenicia and a wonderful visit. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything at anytime. The cottage is closed between visits so it may be a bit stuffy/musty when you first arrive. Leaving the kitchen door open and just using the screen door usually does the trick. I have a dehumidifier running on each floor and an air purifier in the entry. Being so close to three bodies of water and in a place that receives a lot of rainfall makes everything green and lush,
All my best,
Lindsey
