- "nice cabin for getting together with friends and family." - "Our group of 14 had a great stay here. It's rustic, which is great! Lots of neat decor from throughout the years. It was tough with one bathroom, but we made it work. Overall it was a great place for a large group." - "The old mill camp is great for large groups of people. It is very accommodating. They have all the things you need to cook with and then some. I was pretty disappointed with a few things. First, the website stated it had a l large griddle so we didn’t bring our black stone and when we arrived there was postings saying “Do not use griddle” . There are no directions on how to use sauna, Multiple light bulbs out. Half the light switches don’t seem to work. It could use better bathroom accommodations (but knew what we were getting into when we booked) Overall it is a good place for a large group that want to stay together."

- "I’ve never been to Drummond Island, and took this opportunity to have a short quick stay. The cabin property itself was very clean overall I did pick up a few things from the property no fault of the owner or cleaning crew, just litter by the driveway entrance probably thrown by some hooligans. The cabin itself was very clean and very nice, a large piece of property I would have loved to explore a little, however it did rain quite a bit. Close to a very cool beach where the kids had fun. The neighbor Bob stopped by and brought us some firewood. We couldn’t use it all so we left it for the next guests. Bob was good guy, he and his granddaughter drove the firewood down with their quads. Nice people. There were a lot of words in the cabin. There were words everywhere. It took a solid day to read everything. Words here, over there, and more words over there. A lot of words. Thanks for letting us use your property it was great!!"

I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO NP’s RENTAL TERMS. I understand I am responsible for the rental home, the guests accompanying me, and the actions of anyone that is at the home at any time during my stay. I will ensure that everyone in my group acts in accordance with the rental terms.

I HAVE READ THE CHECK IN PROCEDURES. I understand check in time is 3 pm or later, and that myself or any guests accompanying me are not to go to the rental home until we have checked in at the office.

I HAVE READ OVER ‘WHAT TO EXPECT’. I am aware of what the rental homes provide, and what I should bring with me.

I HAVE READ OVER THE ‘PET POLICY’ (where applicable). I understand there are fines that will be charged to my card on file if I choose to disregard this policy, if I bring a pet and do not report it, bring more pets than I report, or if I bring a pet to a non-pet-friendly home.

I understand that any prior issues/damages must be reported within the first 24 hours of my stay to avoid being held responsible. Homes are inspected for damage after each departure. We understand some damage may be existing and awaiting repair.

I understand that each home has a maximum number of people that is allowed, and that kids are counted towards the home’s capacity too (babies under 2 are an exception). I agree to give an accurate count at the time of booking and contact NP to adjust if necessary.

I understand that if I will be bringing a boat or will require excessive parking that it is my responsibility to make sure my rental home will accommodate either. I am aware that NP cannot give refunds or pay for a dock space elsewhere on my behalf.

I understand that there are things that NP cannot control, i.e., excessive/lack of snow, high/low water levels that may affect docks, power outages, WIFI outages or issues, Satellite/Cable/Smart TV outages or issues, malfunctioning appliances/hot tubs, mice, or other wildlife, etc. I understand NP will do everything they can to help in these situations and agree to not hold them accountable or expect a refund.

I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT TO PARK AND/OR DRIVE ANY MOTORIZED VEHICLE ON THE GRASS OR BEACH AREAS. This includes snowmobiles in the wintertime. I understand I am responsible for the cost to repair any damage to grass and/or septic/drain fields for failing to adhere to this policy. I agree to use the designated driveway and parking areas ONLY.

I agree to contact NP if, at any time during my stay, there is a problem/issue, or something is needed or lacking that was advertised. I understand NP wants us to enjoy our stay and is here to help, and that if I fail to contact them during my stay it is unfair to leave them negative feedback or notes with complaints after my departure.

I AM AWARE OF THE CHECK OUT TIMES - 9 AM DURING PEAK SEASON & 10 AM DURING OFF-PEAK SEASON; and agree to pay charges that apply for any unauthorized late departures.

I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO NP’s RENTAL TERMS. I understand I am responsible for the rental home, the guests accompanying me, and the actions of anyone that is at the home at any time during my stay. I will ensure that everyone in my group acts in accordance with the rental terms.

I HAVE READ THE CHECK IN PROCEDURES. I understand check in time is 3 pm or later, and that myself or any guests accompanying me are not to go to the rental home until we have checked in at the office.

I HAVE READ OVER ‘WHAT TO EXPECT’. I am aware of what the rental homes provide, and what I should bring with me.

I HAVE READ OVER THE ‘PET POLICY’ (where applicable). I understand there are fines that will be charged to my card on file if I choose to disregard this policy, if I bring a pet and do not report it, bring more pets than I report, or if I bring a pet to a non-pet-friendly home.

I understand that any prior issues/damages must be reported within the first 24 hours of my stay to avoid being held responsible. Homes are inspected for damage after each departure. We understand some damage may be existing and awaiting repair.

I understand that each home has a maximum number of people that is allowed, and that kids are counted towards the home’s capacity too (babies under 2 are an exception). I agree to give an accurate count at the time of booking and contact NP to adjust if necessary.

I understand that if I will be bringing a boat or will require excessive parking that it is my responsibility to make sure my rental home will accommodate either. I am aware that NP cannot give refunds or pay for a dock space elsewhere on my behalf.

I understand that there are things that NP cannot control, i.e., excessive/lack of snow, high/low water levels that may affect docks, power outages, WIFI outages or issues, Satellite/Cable/Smart TV outages or issues, malfunctioning appliances/hot tubs, mice, or other wildlife, etc. I understand NP will do everything they can to help in these situations and agree to not hold them accountable or expect a refund.

I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT TO PARK AND/OR DRIVE ANY MOTORIZED VEHICLE ON THE GRASS OR BEACH AREAS. This includes snowmobiles in the wintertime. I understand I am responsible for the cost to repair any damage to grass and/or septic/drain fields for failing to adhere to this policy. I agree to use the designated driveway and parking areas ONLY.

I agree to contact NP if, at any time during my stay, there is a problem/issue, or something is needed or lacking that was advertised. I understand NP wants us to enjoy our stay and is here to help, and that if I fail to contact them during my stay it is unfair to leave them negative feedback or notes with complaints after my departure.

I AM AWARE OF THE CHECK OUT TIMES - 9 AM DURING PEAK SEASON & 10 AM DURING OFF-PEAK SEASON; and agree to pay charges that apply for any unauthorized late departures.

I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO NP’s RENTAL TERMS. I understand I am responsible for the rental home, the guests accompanying me, and the actions of anyone that is at the home at any time during my stay. I will ensure that everyone in my group acts in accordance with the rental terms.

I HAVE READ THE CHECK IN PROCEDURES. I understand check in time is 3 pm or later, and that myself or any guests accompanying me are not to go to the rental home until we have checked in at the office.

I HAVE READ OVER ‘WHAT TO EXPECT’. I am aware of what the rental homes provide, and what I should bring with me.

I HAVE READ OVER THE ‘PET POLICY’ (where applicable). I understand there are fines that will be charged to my card on file if I choose to disregard this policy, if I bring a pet and do not report it, bring more pets than I report, or if I bring a pet to a non-pet-friendly home.

I understand that any prior issues/damages must be reported within the first 24 hours of my stay to avoid being held responsible. Homes are inspected for damage after each departure. We understand some damage may be existing and awaiting repair.

I understand that each home has a maximum number of people that is allowed, and that kids are counted towards the home’s capacity too (babies under 2 are an exception). I agree to give an accurate count at the time of booking and contact NP to adjust if necessary.

I understand that if I will be bringing a boat or will require excessive parking that it is my responsibility to make sure my rental home will accommodate either. I am aware that NP cannot give refunds or pay for a dock space elsewhere on my behalf.

I understand that there are things that NP cannot control, i.e., excessive/lack of snow, high/low water levels that may affect docks, power outages, WIFI outages or issues, Satellite/Cable/Smart TV outages or issues, malfunctioning appliances/hot tubs, mice, or other wildlife, etc. I understand NP will do everything they can to help in these situations and agree to not hold them accountable or expect a refund.

I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT TO PARK AND/OR DRIVE ANY MOTORIZED VEHICLE ON THE GRASS OR BEACH AREAS. This includes snowmobiles in the wintertime. I understand I am responsible for the cost to repair any damage to grass and/or septic/drain fields for failing to adhere to this policy. I agree to use the designated driveway and parking areas ONLY.

I agree to contact NP if, at any time during my stay, there is a problem/issue, or something is needed or lacking that was advertised. I understand NP wants us to enjoy our stay and is here to help, and that if I fail to contact them during my stay it is unfair to leave them negative feedback or notes with complaints after my departure.

I AM AWARE OF THE CHECK OUT TIMES - 9 AM DURING PEAK SEASON & 10 AM DURING OFF-PEAK SEASON; and agree to pay charges that apply for any unauthorized late departures.

I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO NP’s RENTAL TERMS. I understand I am responsible for the rental home, the guests accompanying me, and the actions of anyone that is at the home at any time during my stay. I will ensure that everyone in my group acts in accordance with the rental terms.

I HAVE READ THE CHECK IN PROCEDURES. I understand check in time is 3 pm or later, and that myself or any guests accompanying me are not to go to the rental home until we have checked in at the office.

I HAVE READ OVER ‘WHAT TO EXPECT’. I am aware of what the rental homes provide, and what I should bring with me.

I HAVE READ OVER THE ‘PET POLICY’ (where applicable). I understand there are fines that will be charged to my card on file if I choose to disregard this policy, if I bring a pet and do not report it, bring more pets than I report, or if I bring a pet to a non-pet-friendly home.

I understand that any prior issues/damages must be reported within the first 24 hours of my stay to avoid being held responsible. Homes are inspected for damage after each departure. We understand some damage may be existing and awaiting repair.

I understand that each home has a maximum number of people that is allowed, and that kids are counted towards the home’s capacity too (babies under 2 are an exception). I agree to give an accurate count at the time of booking and contact NP to adjust if necessary.

I HAVE READ OVER ‘WHAT TO EXPECT’. I am aware of what the rental homes provide, and what I should bring with me.

I HAVE READ OVER THE ‘PET POLICY’ (where applicable). I understand there are fines that will be charged to my card on file if I choose to disregard this policy, if I bring a pet and do not report it, bring more pets than I report, or if I bring a pet to a non-pet-friendly home.
