Please remember that you are staying at a house, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect and if any problems arise, we will do our best to take care of the problem as soon as possible. However, note that there is no one living on site.

In addition to the house rules (please ensure to review them), here are some additional important things to consider:

• There is 1 step up to the front door. We are in a natural area, so the ground may be uneven, please use caution when walking around outdoors.
• There is absolutely no smoking in and around the home. Please always remember to turn the gas fireplace off when leaving the house.
• All bed linens and towels are provided. A Starter Kit is provided that includes some paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, and travel size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. You may run out of these items during your stay, so you may want to bring extra.
• We do not send maintenance to the property during your stay. Only after you depart. We do have lawn maintenance service, they do their best not to disturb guests, but they do come on a regular schedule to the property.
• The closest gas station is 4.5 miles way (approximately 8 minutes), closest grocery store (Lake General Store) is 5 miles away (approximately 8 minutes).
• We provide Smart TVs (Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime/Disney+), so just bring your own passwords.
• Feel free to use the firepit! We do not provide firewood but most gas stations will sell it. Please just make sure it's out before going to bed.
• The house is located in a natural area, so you may see and hear bugs, furry critters of all sizes (including but not limited to deer, squirrels, and rodents). Our property has regularly scheduled pest control, however, we cannot guarantee that any such critters will not be visible in and around the property.

No refunds will be provided if a local critter visits the property.
• Children are welcome at the house, however, the house may not be suitable for young children because of the indoor fireplace, bunk beds, and access to water (pool, lake, etc). Parents should use their own discretion when booking and ensure that all guests and children are monitored at all times while on premises and that all activities are suitable for the children (including books in the reading nook and arcade games).
