City/town information
The cottage is 20 miles from the Canadian border crossing and there is a really cute town on the Canadian side. It’s no lie that we can see Canada for my backyard :-)
Don’t forget to pack your passports!

There are many big box stores in the Fort Gratiot area like Meijers, Target, Home Depot, TJ Maxx etc. Fort Gratiot is about 15 miles south of the cottage on M-25. There is also a smaller grocery store in Lexington just 1 mile north of the cottage on M-25 called Jeff's marketplace . Jeff's has beer and wine as well.

How do I turn on the fireplace/stove ?
There is a gas stove/fireplace - the pilot is on, and you would need to turn it counterclockwise to increase the heat in the fireplace when you get there.
Just be careful decreasing the heat there - don’t push it beyond the pilot mark. If you do, it will turn off and the pilot is a little of a pain to turn back on. It is really nice to have the fireplace on and don’t want you to miss out on that.
Considering that it is cold in winter you will probably not turn it down very low anyway to turn it off.
There is a note next to the fireplace that explains it too.
