Other details
Welcome to our lakeside retreat! Because our property is nestled in a beautiful, wooded area with direct lake access, it is a true natural environment that comes with natural terrain and seasonal wildlife.
To ensure you have a safe and wonderful stay, please review our property guidelines and safety requirements before your arrival:
• Footwear & Wooded Safety: The terrain can be uneven, rocky, or slippery. We highly recommend packing and wearing sturdy, closed-toe shoes while exploring the property. Because we are in a wooded area, please remember to check yourself, your children, and your pets for ticks daily.
• Water & Swim Safety: If you plan to swim or enter the lake, you must know how to swim. Please wear water shoes to protect your feet from rocks, sharp shells, or submerged debris.
• Life Jackets Required: We require everyone to bring and wear their own Coast Guard-approved life jackets at all times when in, on, or near the water—regardless of swimming ability.
• Gear & Equipment: Guests must provide their own lake toys, floats, fishing poles, and gear. Please note that no equipment or watercraft is provided by the host.
• Liability Notice: By booking your stay, you acknowledge that you are entering a natural environment with inherent risks. Guests assume all liability and responsibility for the safety, actions, and well-being of themselves and everyone in their booking party during their time on the property and in the lake.
