PARKING DIRECTIONS:

It is a very short walk from the lot to L&LP. Parking is limited to the lot ONLY so you are well advised to carpool as much as you possibly can in order to reduce your party's vehicle count. Toward this end, parties that can't fill a vehicle may wish to consider travelling to Brockville by train or bus and then get a lift to the cottage by friends or taxi. If you need parking in the city then please visit https://brockville.com/city-services/parking/ . If you need to dock a boat then please visit https://brockville.com/things-to-do/boating-harbour/ as it is not possible to use the BB dock for this purpose.

Of course, please drive carefully and watch for children and animals at all times. Follow Butternut Bay Rd until you reach the sign shown on the left side of the first photo here. You will want to take this right onto Fraser Lane (road shown). Yes, I mean the road with the sign that says "No Thru Traffic"! That just means you can't go all the way to the end where the private cottages are. Take the first right where you will enter the area behind the wooden sheds or "garages" as some residents call them.

There's a good chance (especially in July/August) others will be using the lot which can (at the very most) accommodate 6 vehicles or so. 1 or 2 of these spots may already be taken by the boats you see in the pics. Please park directly behind the sheds and avoid doing so by the bins. If you block the path needed by the truck which empties the bins then you will be asked to move.

Fortunately I have never had a renter tell me there was no more parking left but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Although not recommended, you can try parking at the very end of Butternut Bay Rd if absolutely needed. If there isn't enough space for all of your party's vehicles, there is NOTHING I can do about it so please plan your transportation wisely. 

It is OK to BRIEFLY park at the fork in the road for the purpose of un/loading otherwise please heed this word from the BB Association:
"The roads in Butternut Bay are narrow and there are no sidewalks, so they are used extensively by people walking around the community. Therefore, no parking is allowed on the shoulders of the roads. Also, the lots in Butternut Bay are small and parking several cars on cottage lawns is unsightly. There is a large parking area behind the garages and its use is strongly encouraged."

Because the irrigation system is just inches below the surface and cannot bear the weight of vehicles, parking on the cottage lawn is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Sadly, there have been renters who have argued and in (thankfully rare) cases deliberately defied me on this. It is for this reason "YOU WILL BE TOWED" signs at both ends of the property have been installed.

The irrigation company is not interested in discussing lawn parking so please don't ask. As of August 2024, I have asked Robert and his employees to give violators ONE warning for breaking this rule. Regardless, you will still be charged for any damages and may even be towed in extreme circumstances. You do NOT have the right to break my/BB rules because they are inconvenient or disagreeable. You agreed to the terms at  http://the-zuzarte-strand.freevar.com/GRG.html so you need to follow them. If not then I regret losing your business but please go rent somewhere else.

Having said all that, I am very happy to report the vast majority of renters are cool with parking in the lot. It is unfortunate the entitled few have necessitated this addendum but I am sure you understand protecting my property is of paramount importance. Thanks for your cooperation!
