Thornbury is a charming harbour village known for apple orchards and artisan shops. Thornbury's mix of waterfront cottages and heritage homes means unique maintenance challenges — older plumbing, stone foundations, and lakefront exposure. Cottage Care Company is the single point of contact for everything your Thornbury property needs — 24/7 ChaletGuard sensor monitoring, bi-weekly inspections with photo reports, spring openings, fall closings, and trades coordination. One local team. One phone number. One invoice.
Monitoring from $59/mo · Full-service care from $349/mo
Owning a cottage in Thornbury usually means juggling a plumber, a snow-clearing crew, an HVAC tech, a dock crew, and a lawn service — half of whom don't return calls. Full-service care replaces the whole list with one accountable team.
