Greetings and salutations!

Severn Cottage Services of Coldwater, Ontario, has gained Accredited Member status in the National Home Watch Association for the third consecutive year.

Owners Randy and Sandy Martin are located in the heart of Ontario’s cottage country in Severn Falls, Ontario. After spending 10 years in the oil fields, Randy decided to come home for a year. Having grown up in cottage country, he knew most of the weekend cottagers from the city. When they found out he was home, the cottagers started asking him to look after their properties while they were away for the winter, and he started Cottage Watch in 1990. In those days, there were very few companies providing a service like this--and virtually no information--so it has been a learning curve ever since. Randy returned to the oil fields overseas but continued with the cottage watch on a smaller scale.

In 2011 Sandy, Randy and their three children decided to expand their cottage services to a full-scale business, including Cottage & Home Watch Property Patrols, Cottage Rental Services and Cottage & Home Cleaning. The area they cover is very distinctive: as some of their customers’ properties have no roads, access is by boat or ATV in the summer and snowmobile or airboat in the winter. They developed an advanced electronic reporting system that proves to their customers that they have actually been to their property and gives them the peace of mind they deserve!

We have always enjoyed spending time with Sandy and Randy, at both of the NHWA's Annual North American Conferences, as well as other times they've come to visit the Myrtle Beach area.

Randy is also on the NHWA's Advisory Board.

Severn Cottage Services covers a vast area: from the Severn River between Big Chute & Swift Rapids, Gloucester Pool, Six Mile Lake, the Honey Harbour area, Midland, over to Horseshoe Valley up to Orillia and along Lake Simcoe.

Congratulations, Martin family!

As always, I wish you

Much success,

Jack
