Seasonal Cottage Cleaning
Arrive to a cottage that's already ready.
Your cottage has been sitting closed all winter — or all season. Before anyone walks through the door, it needs more than a quick sweep. K.Lea Housekeeping provides thorough seasonal cleaning for Muskoka cottages and recreational properties, so the first weekend of the season feels the way it should.

We know Muskoka properties.
Seasonal cottages have their own quirks — wood surfaces, lake air, long winters, and the particular kind of deep clean they need before and after a season. We've done this enough to know what to look for and how to handle it.
We flag what we find.
If there's evidence of a leak, a pest issue, storm damage, or anything that needs your attention, we'll tell you before you find it yourself on the first weekend of the season.

Seasonal Cottage Cleaning FAQ
Common questions about our seasonal cottage cleaning services across Muskoka, Simcoe County, and surrounding cottage country.
Seasonal cottage cleaning refers to the thorough cleaning of a cottage or recreational property at the start and end of the season. This typically includes a spring open — getting the property ready after winter — and a fall close — preparing it for the off-season.
A spring open typically includes a full top-to-bottom clean of all rooms, wiping down surfaces that have collected dust over winter, cleaning appliances, washing windows, clearing any debris, and getting the property ready for your first visit of the season.
A fall close includes a thorough clean of all areas, removing any perishables, cleaning appliances, washing linens, and leaving the property in a clean and organized state for the winter months ahead.
Yes. In addition to seasonal opens and closes, we also offer mid-season refreshes and regular cleaning visits throughout the summer for cottages that see heavy use or host guests frequently.
We use only all-natural, organic cleaning products on every cottage job. This is especially important in Muskoka and cottage country where properties are close to lakes and natural environments. No harsh chemicals that could affect your water, your family, or your pets.
We serve properties across all of Muskoka and surrounding cottage country including Huntsville, Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, Port Carling, Bala, Dorset, Dwight, Port Sydney, Rosseau, Windermere, MacTier, and the townships of Lake of Bays, Muskoka Lakes, and Georgian Bay.
Contact us at kleahousekeeping.ca or call (705) 238-2948. We recommend booking your spring open and fall close well in advance as these are high-demand periods across cottage country.
Payment is due the same day or next day upon receipt of invoice via e-transfer. Personal cheques are not accepted. Credit card payments may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis.
