FOR OUR GREAT BLUE RESORT COTTAGE OWNERS:
Follow these helpful winterizing tips & tricks for a good Winter and an even better Spring!
- Remove all food items, even dried foods & canned food
- Remove bottled water, pop, beer, and wine
- Place steel wool around all water pipe openings under sinks
- Remove all liquids, such as shampoo, soap, cleaning products
- Place tiles or heavy objects over vents to deter unwelcome outside guests from entering
- If you place any outdoor furniture in the cottage for storage, place carpet or cardboard under it as to not dent the floor
- Secure any outside furniture or place inside unit
- Do not store propane tanks in or under cottage
- Unplug small appliances. Coffee makers & water coolers should be taken home as water resides in the lines & will freeze
|
- Remove battery backups from any detectors/ appliances & take home so they do not freeze
- Remove shower heads from shower & take home as they will freeze
- Ensure accessibility is available to all rooms for staff
- Remove & take home any solar lights
- Ensure all windows are locked as your cottage may shift over the winter & your windows will pop open
- If you are going to set mouse traps keep them away from the water heater & make a point of coming to check the traps by making appointments through the winter
- Do not place items under your cottage near the water connections
- Do not store anything inside the bathtub/shower

During the winter, we will monitor cottages during and after high wind and snowstorms. Any cottage with perceived damage will be notified directly via email with a description and photos (if necessary), and next steps will be discussed.
If you do not receive a notification, all is well with your cottage.
Please call ahead to your resort to book an appointment if you are wanting to visit your cottage.
