Blue Fox Cottage

Our space is simple:
The shared living areas on the upper level open to all the light of an enclosed front porch, with two living room sitting areas on either side of farmhouse style table and benches. Also on the upper level is the bathroom with claw foot tub, "mudroom" entry coming in off the side porch, and kitchen. A bedroom is located directly off the kitchen, with a king sized bed and adjoining private bathroom.

Stairs leading down from the enclosed front porch take you directly into an open loft style bunk room. On this lower level there are two bunk beds and a queen bed (which can be separated by privacy curtains, if desired), a full bathroom and laundry area.

Regarding parking at Blue Fox Cottage:
Please do not park on our lawn.
There is room for two vehicles parked in the driveway. There is NO parking permitted on the street, and this is strictly enforced by the Village of Grand Beach. Overflow parking is available at the Grand Beach Village Hall municipal area. If you will have more than two vehicles at anytime during your stay, PLEASE inform us so that we can communicate your license plate information to the Village Officer and you can park in the overflow area without being ticketed.
Guest access
Guests can access everything in the house except for the owner's work room storage space.
