Jolie is on the right. She spent several summers here with her owners. We fell in love with her. Her owner says, "Jolie is out of control about being a poster dog.
She had to lie down and take the vapors, she was so excited." That's Andy on the left. He's 12 and wearing a blue bandana so he'll blend in with the staff in blue polo shirts. He wants to "belong."
We can't wait to meet your dog.
See our policies for the specifics. |

SPECIAL EVENTS AND SHOREFRONT WEDDINGS IN 2013.
|
| |
We've gotten request after request for weddings here. While things have changed, it's possible to reserve
all the cottages for your guests and "tie the knot" in our cathedral field. Give us a call if this seems
interesting.
We can save a weekend in the spring or fall for an "all colony" rental. You bring your friends and
family here. If you book all 9 cottages you can celebrate your wedding in our cathedral field or on the shore.
In this way you will not disturb other guests AND your friends and family will have the entire complex to play,
visit and celebrate.
During the busy months of July and August our facility is normally being enjoyed by families
who come here year after year for a week at a time. Thus a July or August Wedding is generally not possible unless
it's arranged much in advance.
The details of food and other things will be catered as we don't have our
restaurant open. We can arrange for a bartender as well if you provide your own beverages.
Our rustic barn is available for small groups too, so please inquire.

WiFi at Oakland House Cottages by the Side of the Sea.
|
| |
Great enhancement to those who want to work from a cottage. We just installed our "Campus wide" WiFi system. Each cottage guest will have their own log on security code.
This free service is available to you at considerable expense and complexity. We do not have DSL or high speed
available via the phone or cable in our location and so there are limitations.
The system will be good for:
Retreiving email, and browsing on facebook.
Viewing of low res Youtube videos that might be posted on facebook or a news channel.
For general web browsing
and consultation of the weather channel for the latest weather reports.
The system cannot
be used for:
Netflix or steaming video or streaming music.
TV station streaming requires more than the system can handle.
No up-loading of large digital photo files to Flicker or Picassa.
No bit torrent or file sharing through
our system.
Do have fun and stay in touch with your family, friends and business associates!

"Are there Fairies Living at the Bottom of my Garden I?" flier. Large file will take quite a bit of time to download...but, with great detail.
"Are there Fairies Living at the Bottom of my Garden II?" flier. A quicker downloading file but with less detail.
"Yes, there are Fairies! Here's the proof. We've had fairy house sightings throughout the property. This is fun!
