Things to know: The 4 neighboring homes on Evergreen Lane are a neighborly community committed to the peaceful enjoyment of the woods and beach. Therefore, we do not permit the use of music speakers outside the cottage or on the beach nor jet skis, or other motorized watercraft. All non-motorized watercraft are welcome! This cottage is ideal for families & friends gathering for quiet time away in nature. It would not be the appropriate setting for those looking for a party rental. Parking notes: There is free parking available for 3 vehicles. This rental is located on floor 1. Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!
