Guests will have exclusive use of the land and the main house, (with the exception of certain locked cupboards and closets.) The following support structures, however, are off limits for guests: garage, smaller cabin (unoccupied,) well and storage sheds, pool and hot tub area. These areas are clearly marked with signs, and will not limit your access to the house and amenities described in our listing in any way. (Please note that pool and hot tub behind the house have not been offered in this listing as amenities.

The towels provided are for use inside the house only, and may not be taken outside. Please bring your own towels to use at the lake. Thank you.
KEEP DOORS CLOSED/BATS & INSECTS
Please keep exterior-facing doors closed whenever not actually in use in order to prevent flying insects and bats from entering the house, (yes, bats can and have entered the house when door was left open after sundown.) If you are wanting to let a cool breeze in, simply open some of the windows that have screens on them.
FOOD OUTSIDE/BEAR SAFETY
For your own safety and the safety of future guests, do not leave any food sitting outside when no humans are present. It can attract bears. If using the outdoor trash bins, please place food and wrappers in a bin with functioning lid clasps and be sure to lock the clasps.
