There are doorbell cameras that monitors the front and back door entrances and one camera on the deck to monitor the area overlooking the lake. This is for both the safety of guests and the safety of the property. No regular footage of guests is recorded or maintained. NO INTERNAL cameras are present and YOUR PRIVACY is a top priority.

If you know you’ll need more during your stay, we recommend picking up extras at a nearby store so you’re fully stocked for your needs. Happy Hollow is also pet-friendly! We provide pet bed, towels, waste-baggies, shampoo and treats for our furry guests to enjoy. We just ask that the pets stay off the furniture and be crated if they will be left unattended. However, we sometimes know that they can’t resist the comfy furniture, so there are couch covers available for that very reason. Our pet-fee is additional for up to two pets for the duration of the stay. Just make sure the pets are part of your reservation, if not the pet fee will be requested before or after your stay. Shellcamp Pond is home to many geese, so you many experience them at the property. Sorry - No Parties Allowed and all guests must be listed and documented during booking. Quiet Hours: • Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM to ensure a peaceful stay for all guests and neighbors. Kindly note: There’s a temporary burn ban in the area due to dry conditions.
