HOUSE RULES & POSSIBLE GUEST SURCHARGES

1. No pets allowed. We are animal lovers, but this is an animal free listing. If a pet is discovered on the property, a $250 fee plus damage will be charged, and the pet(s) must be removed immediately.

2. No smoking within 25 feet of the home. If our cleaners smell smoke inside the home, a $200 fee will be added to your stay. If you do smoke outdoors, please be thoughtful to discard all debris.

3. You must be over 25 to make a reservation.

4. Any outside visitors must be approved by hosts prior to arrival. Planning a party at this quiet property will result in an automatic $1,000 fine.

5. Swimming and lake use is at your own risk.

*The owners have a private, separate lower-level unit that they use occasionally on weekends. (think of it like a separate downstairs condo) There's a chance you may see them on the dock if they're around, but it shouldn't affect your stay. They're quiet and they'll give you all the privacy you desire!

Slice of Heaven
This was the perfect house for our long weekend getaway with family. There were 4 adults and 5 children. The house had all the necessities and plenty of entertainment for the kids. The host was very responsive when our code wouldn't work to get into the house. I would highly recommend this slice of heaven for a peaceful retreat.

Delightful weekend
Wonderful home! Was immaculate and well appointed. Check in was a breeze. Host was communicative and so easy to work with. We truly had a wonderful time looking over the lake, enjoying the restful living room, listening to the majestic hawks, and feeling really rested each morning. Five stars across the board!

Awesome Lake House!
We had a great week on the lake. The house is located in the best cove. All the neighbors were awesome. We all went home relaxed and tan :) There is so much to do. The kids loved the paddle boards, ping pong table, and dart board. We floated in the lake by day. We made a fire every night. They had everything set up perfectly. We grilled every night and didn't have to worry about anything. They have plenty of dishware, silverware, and brand new appliances. We can't wait to come back next summer.
