Questions guests ask

Work crews

Does everyone get their own bed?

Up to four people can each have a bed to themselves, one per queen, the double, and the single. Seven fit when some guests share the queens or the double, and everyone still sleeps in a real bed.

How much parking is there?

The driveway is 40 feet long and two cars wide. It fits four cars, or two trucks with trailers.

How do we get in?

Use the keypad on the front door with your own personal code, which comes by Airbnb message. It works on both doors from check in until checkout.

Are there rates for a crew staying a week or more?

Weekly and monthly discounts apply on their own on Airbnb. Message us about longer crew stays.

Can we stay a month or longer?

Yes, long stays are welcome, and the monthly discount applies on its own. Message us on Airbnb with your dates.

My company needs a receipt. What do we get?

Airbnb emails a receipt for every booking. If your company needs more than that, message us before you book.

Is there somewhere to work?

Yes, there’s a desk with wifi. Guests run online meetings from the house too.

Can the crew do laundry?

Yes, there’s a washer and dryer inside the house.

Families coming home

How many people does the house sleep?

Seven, all in real beds. There are two queens upstairs, each in its own room, and a double and a single that share the basement bedroom.

Is there a bedroom on the main floor?

No. Two bedrooms are upstairs and one is in the basement, so every bed is up or down a flight of stairs.

Can we cook a big family dinner?

Yes. There’s a full kitchen with dishes for a big dinner and a dining room for the whole group. One family made their whole Christmas dinner here.

Will the kids like the hot tub?

Guests tell us it’s the kids’ favourite part of the house. Keep an eye on little ones while they’re in.

Do you have a crib and a high chair?

Yes, there’s a travel crib and a high chair, plus books and toys for little guests.

Is there somewhere for the kids to swim?

Haileybury Beach is a 7 minute walk down steep streets. It’s sandy and enclosed, with a waterslide, change rooms, and lifeguards from noon to 6 PM in July and August.

Can we bring our dog?

Yes. Up to three pets are welcome, with a $60 pet fee.

We grew up here and we’re coming home for a visit. Is this a good fit?

Lots of our guests grew up in Haileybury or New Liskeard, or have parents here. Real beds for seven, a big kitchen, and a dining room make it easy to gather.

Snowmobilers

How much parking is there?

The driveway is 40 feet long and two cars wide. It fits four cars, or two trucks with trailers.

Can we leave trucks or trailers at the marina overnight?

Not in winter. The Haileybury Marina lot is run by the City, and the overnight ban covers every City lot from midnight to 7 AM, November 1 to March 31.

Who runs the snowmobile trails around here?

The local club is the Tri Town Sno Travellers, which grooms close to 600 km of trail from the Temagami area to Elk Lake and Englehart. The Chamber lists the club at 705 647 4010.

How far is the nearest trail from the house?

We can’t give you a confirmed distance yet. Check the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide, the only official source for trail status, and ask the club about the closest access and where to stage.

Can we ride our sleds from the house?

We can’t confirm a legal route from the door, so please check with the club first. The City bans riding on City property except on an established trail, and on stretches of Ferguson Ave, Main St, and Lakeshore Rd S.

Do we need a trail permit?

Yes, an Ontario Snowmobile Trail Permit is required on OFSC trails. You can buy a Full Season, Classic, or Multi Day permit online.

Can we ride on the lake?

We don’t recommend it. Ontario says travelling on ice is risky and should be avoided, and the local OPP advise staying on land based OFSC trails. No marked ice trail was found near Haileybury.

What if there’s no snow?

Refunds follow the Firm cancellation policy shown on the listing, so check those dates before you book.

Tournaments and teams

Can we bring a cot or an air mattress?

Seven is the most the house sleeps, and there’s a real bed for each of you. You’re welcome to bring an air mattress, but there isn’t much spare floor space for one.

Does the hot tub work in winter?

Yes. The private hot tub is open every day of the year, and soaking in it while the snow falls is a guest favourite.

Can we check in early?

Ask us on Airbnb and we’ll do what the cleaning schedule allows. We can’t promise it ahead of time.

How far is the Haileybury Arena?

The Shelley Herbert Shea Memorial Arena, 400 Ferguson Ave, is an 11 minute walk or a couple of minutes by car.

How far is the New Liskeard Arena?

The Don Shepherdson Memorial Arena, 75 Wellington St S, is an 11 minute drive. There’s a Tim Hortons a block away on May St S.

Do curlers stay here?

Yes, curlers stay with us for fall tournaments, including U18 events and a provincial championship.

Can teammates come over after the game?

A few teammates dropping by is fine. The house sleeps seven overnight and isn’t set up for parties, so message us if you’re planning something bigger.

Weddings and events

How many people does the house sleep?

Seven, all in real beds. There are two queens upstairs, each in its own room, and a double and a single that share the basement bedroom.

What time is checkout?

By 10 AM. When nobody arrives that day, checkout can usually be 11 AM. Just ask.

Can we hold the wedding or a party at the house?

The house isn’t set up for a reception or a party, so plan those somewhere else. Getting ready here on the day is no problem, and your photographer is welcome.

Can our photographer shoot at the house?

Of course. Your photographer is welcome to take getting ready photos and portraits at the house.

Which venues are close by?

Guests have stayed with us for weddings at the Haileybury Curling Club. Haileybury Golf Club, on the lake, is a 15 minute walk.

How far is the golf club?

Haileybury Golf Club is a 15 minute walk. It’s a nine hole public course on the lake that opened in 1921.

Is it hilly around the house?

Yes, very. Haileybury climbs the hill above the lake, so the streets around the house are steep. Walks to downtown, the beach, and the marina mean real uphill and downhill, so allow extra time if hills are hard for you.

Weekends away

Can you see the lake from the house?

Yes. Lake Temiskaming shows from the front room and the patio, and the sun comes up over the water.

Is the house right on the lake?

No. The house sits up the hill behind a row of houses, so you look out over their roofs to the lake, but there’s no direct lake access. Haileybury Beach is a 7 minute walk and the marina about 13, both on steep streets with real hills.

Does the hot tub work in winter?

Yes. The private hot tub is open every day of the year, and soaking in it while the snow falls is a guest favourite.

Can we check out late?

When nobody checks in that day, we can usually offer 11 AM. When someone does, it stays at 10 AM, because the clean takes the full five hours.

How far is downtown Haileybury?

A 7 minute walk, on steep streets with real uphill and downhill along the way.

What’s Devil’s Rock?

A cliff lookout about 300 feet above Lake Temiskaming, 12 minutes south by car. Park at the small lot on Highway 567 for an easy 2 km walk, or climb 3 km from Bucke Park in North Cobalt.

How far is the beach?

Haileybury Beach is a 7 minute walk. Head along Brewster St, right on Probyn St, right on Lakeshore Rd, then left on Browning St down to the water. Expect steep hills along the way.

Where should we eat downtown?

Whiskeyjack Beer Company, 485 Ferguson Ave, is a brewpub with food and the warmest spot downtown in the evening. It’s a 7 minute walk. Call 705 630 2210 for hours.

Good to know

Check in and out
Self check in after 3 PM with your own door code. Checkout by 10 AM, and often 11 AM when nobody arrives that day.
Parking
The driveway is 40 feet long and two cars wide, so it fits four cars, or two trucks with trailers. In winter the city bans overnight parking on streets and City lots so the plows can get through, so plan on the driveway.
Hills
Haileybury climbs the hill above the lake, so the streets around the house are steep. Walks to downtown, the beach, and the marina go down, and the way back is uphill.
Stairs
There are steps up from the driveway and stairs between every floor, so the house isn’t wheelchair accessible.
The lake
You see it from the house, but there’s no direct lake access. The beach and the marina are a short walk.
Pets
Up to 3 pets are welcome, with a $60 pet fee.
House rules
The house is smoke and vape free, and it isn’t set up for parties. Family dinners are welcome, so just let us know if you’re having people over.
