Start with the property's general location and intended use. NorthSTR needs to assess whether it can operate and service that particular cottage or rural property. Location alone does not establish suitability or permission for short-term guest stays.
Areas we consider
Where NorthSTR considers properties.
We consider suitable properties in Eastern Ontario and selected Kawartha locations. Tell us where you own or want to buy, and we will discuss whether the property fits NorthSTR's operation.

Ottawa-area cottage country.
Rideau and Lanark corridor.
Access, utilities, condition and operational suitability matter alongside location. We discuss these practical needs for each property, including preparation and the responsibilities to agree before a tenancy or purchase.
Kingston and Frontenac.
Surrounding rural and cottage properties can have different operating needs from city properties. Tell us which setting you are considering so the team can discuss the specific property, permitted use and ability to service it.
Selected Kawartha locations.
Our consideration is property-specific in selected Kawartha locations. Confirm the team's current operational reach and the property's needs before planning around a NorthSTR arrangement.
Start with the property, not just the postcode.
Share the general location first. A property assessment considers permitted use, access, layout, condition, preparation and the proposed arrangement. These are consideration areas, not office locations or a promise that every property qualifies.
