The proprietors of Black's Bay Lodge (Glenn & Judy Black) have spent the last
22 years building their dream. While family and friends have enjoyed the
experience all along, we have recently opened the site up to access by the
public.
We want to build a community of like-minded people who are willing to enjoy and
share in our creation. We recognize however, that BBay is not suitable to all
people, nor all needs. Therefore we have established policies and application
forms to be sure there is an appropriate match between your needs and our
ability to meet those needs.
Please review the details of our facilities as described on our website. We
believe in full disclosure so there are no unpleasant surprises, even if you
initially forget to ask an important question.
Detailed description of BBay's facilities,
as compared to a city home
You get exclusive use of BBay's cottage. The cottage has exclusive use
of the BBay waterfront (approx. 1400 ft of beach front) and the 113 acre forest during your
rental period.
The Owners are local residentswill be staying in the Orchard Cottage nearby
if you need help or have a maintenance problem.
Our rates are based on $ per person per day (or week), with a minimum
charge. Children under 5 yrs. old are free.
The rental rates include energy charges (propane for the stove, fridge,
hot water).
The solar/wind power generates "free" electricity, and is the recommended &
normal supply. If (for some strange reason), you choose to run the
emergency gasoline engine powered electrical generator, you will be paying for
the gasoline.
All applications are considered on a first come-first served basis.
To be fair, the first person who has their application and waiver forms filled
out & returned to BBay with their rental deposit fee (cheque, money order, or
direct deposit) will get the reservation (assuming their application is
otherwise acceptable).
The description of the files you will need are shown below. These files are
stored on our website. Click on the links at the end of the lines for your
browser to open them up. Once opened, you can print them out, or save them to
your hard drive to print them later.
When you make your Application, you are required to make a deposit.
This Deposit will be help by BBay pending your completion of the rental period.
The Deposit is non-refundable. If you are unwilling or unable to complete
the planned rental, BBay will keep your deposit to cover our administration
costs and loss of rental income.

Our rental policy is to choose our renters carefully; renting only to
responsible adults such as yourself.
Our cottage insurance policy doesn't cover damage done by renters, so we also
ask you to:
- Pay a deposit up front of 50% of your rental fee which also serves to hold
your reservation, and insure the risk of any damage which could occur.
- Sign the legal waiver and indemnification agreement for BBL's benefit.
BBL realizes only a
few places use a waiver as we do. We believe the Waiver is an important part
of our "full disclosure policy".
By reading the waiver, you know exactly what you are responsible for,
and what BBL is responsible for. In short, everyone is responsible for themselves
& their actions. For more info, see our BBay Rental
Policy and FAQ's
If there is less than 3 months away from the start of your requested rental
period, we will need full payment (security deposit + full rental fee + GST) with
your application.
If there is more than 3 months before your requested rental period starts,
then we need the security deposit ($425 or 50% of the rental fee) paid up front
with your application. The full rental fee plus GST is due on or before 3
months prior to the start of your rental period.
Once you have rented this year, you will have the option of renting the same
time slot next year as well, provided you re-book before the deadline. See
BBL's Rental Policy for details. After that, your spot can be rented by BBay to
others. This policy helps ensure your ability to establish a long term
relationship between us.
