It's absolutely wonderful to have a cabin tucked away in nature, but sometimes that means caring for a gravel cottage road. Often, cottagers that live off of the road will work together to keep it maintained. Whether you decide to collectively buy a grader or rent one a few times a year, that can make a huge difference. A grader can fix problems like water ponds on the road, road corrugations, and regular maintenance. Brush cutters can make the road safer with a little work, and wire fence can fix the beaver problems. Cottage Life said, "Relocating or killing beavers is ineffective; when one family stops scent-marking its territory, nearby beavers quickly get wind of the empty lot with prime damming potential."
