Cottage & Property Monitoring While You're Away

Regular check-ins, photo updates, climate and freeze monitoring and after-hours response — so you can leave the lake knowing someone trustworthy is keeping an eye on your place.

What's Included

Reliable eyes on your place

Leave the lake knowing someone trustworthy is looking out for your property. Here's what monitoring typically covers:

Scheduled Property Check-Ins

Regular visits on a schedule that suits your place — weekly, biweekly, or set around the seasons and your time away.

Photo Updates After Each Visit

A quick set of photos to your inbox after every check-in, so you can see your property is sound with your own eyes.

Climate & Freeze Monitoring

Keeping watch on heat and freeze risk through the Kawartha winter — the difference between a quiet season and a burst-pipe disaster.

After-Hours Response

Someone local to call when something comes up outside business hours — and to act on it.

Storm & Damage Checks

A check on the property after big storms and wind events, with a heads-up and photos if anything needs attention.

Peace of Mind While Away

The real service: knowing a trusted local team is looking after the place so you don't have to wonder.

Quietly Watching For

The things that go wrong when no one's looking

  • Frozen or burst pipes & heat loss in winter
  • Storm, wind and fallen-tree damage
  • Water intrusion, leaks & sump issues
  • Signs of break-in or disturbance
  • Pests & critters getting in
  • Blocked access, downed limbs & debris
