FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

Are fireworks allowed?

NO. Fireworks are strictly prohibited on our property due to the risk of forest fires.

What appliances are available?

Each cottage comes equipped with a fridge and freezer, stove, oven, coffee maker, kettle and toaster. The stoves are propane with pilot lights so don’t leave anything on top of the stove.  NEW:  Propane heaters have been replaced in cabins 4 and 5 to help take the chill off on a cool night.

Do the cottages have TVs and high speed internet?

No, we do not have TVs. Ridgewood Cottages is the place to get away from technology. Leave the stress behind and breathe in the fresh Northern Ontario air.  We recommend bringing a laptop with movies if you just can’t leave it behind. Books and board games are available in the office.

No, there are no microwaves in the cottages.  We don’t have the electrical power supply to support using them and many of our dishes are not microwave safe.
