🕸️ Spider webs outside? We de-web and treat docks and porches regularly, but spiders can rebuild a web in just 30–60 minutes. Lake life!
⏰ Can I check in early or check out late? We already offer THE most favorable check-in/out times compared to other local companies. We follow our standard times to allow for proper cleaning. Requests may be available during the off-season, or if it's not a same day turnaround.
🔥 Is firewood provided? No—but local grocery stores sell bundles right out front. Grab a lighter too, as they tend to disappear and we don’t stock them (liability).
🛋️ Can I use the indoor fireplaces? Our indoor fireplaces are decorative and not intended for use. Again, a standard in our area for managers due to insurance and liability.

Lake was beautiful. The weather was perfect during our stay. We saw deer, squirrels, and foxes. House was big, clean, and well stocked for eveything we needed. We are already talking about coming back sometime.

10/10 stay! My husband and I stayed for three weeks while in town for business. We had a wonderful time, and the house is even better in person (which typically isn’t the case). Very clean, well-maintained and kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked. Neighborhood was very quiet, and is a beautiful area. We’d love to come back in the summer!
