Policies

• Smoking is NOT allowed inside the property. Smoking is OK outside as long as you do not throw cigarette butts in the yard. Please use the ashtrays provided.
• People other than those in the Guest party set forth in the contract may not stay overnight on the property; any other person on the property is the sole responsibility of the Guest.
• If you brought your fur babies, please make sure they stay in the fenced area. Do not leave them unattended outside. Please do not leave them in the yard overnight. We do have wildlife that could harm them if left unattended.
• Only use appliances for their intended use.
• Owner of the property is not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses that occur while on the premises. The Owners are not responsible for loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the home or others whom they invite to use the premises.
• Please treat our home as your home. Take care with the furnishings and do not let fur babies on the furniture.
• Water and Septic: We practice good water conservation and act as good stewards of our environment. Help conserve the water. Do not leave water running unnecessarily. DO NOT FLUSH anything down the toilet except bodily fluids and 1-ply toilet paper. Please use the toilet paper provided. It is in each bathroom. If we find the septic is messed up due to anything other than toilet paper being flushed, you could be charged damages for up to the entire cost of any repairs.
• Bathroom Supplies: We provide towels, wash cloths, linens, soap, shower gel, Band-Aids, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner and hair dryer. Please take note that there is a first aid kit with antibiotic cream and cortisone cream should you have any insect bites.
• Trash: We do recycle, so please place recyclables in the marked bin by the refridgerator. There are trash bags under the sink. If your group is large, there is a second trash can in the mud room. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE FOOD SCRAPS OUTSIDE overnight. It attracts critters such as, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, etc. We try to stay in harmony with them by not inviting them to the yard. Dispose of trash in the big trash bin out front with the rock on top. Make sure and return the rock on top as it helps keep the critters out.
• Housekeeping: There are no daily housekeeping services. All towels and linens are provided. If you plan on visiting the lake or one of the nearby springs, beach towels are located on the top shelf in the wash room off the master bath. Please do not use bath towels for outside. The washer and dryer are for your use. Feel free to use detergent as well. Try and conserve by washing one large load rather than several small. Beach towels not returned are charged a $20 fee. Upon leaving, please pull the sheets off the bed and place in the wash room. Thanks.
• Extra blankets, beds, etc.: There is a blow up full size bed with linens in the wash room in the big gray tub. There are extra blankets there, as well. There is a small fan available, if needed.
• Phone Service: There is no phone service at the property. Most cell phones can get reception (AT&T, Verizon, etc.). Please plan accordingly. There are emergency numbers located on the refrigerator.
• Food Supplies: You are responsible for your own meals. However, the kitchen is stocked with plates, bowls, cooking utensils, spices, cooking oil, condiments in the refrigerator and pots and pans. The gas grill is available for your use. Help yourself to whatever is in the cabinets. We encourage our guests to bring a spice or wine from your area and feel free to take one of ours.

• Outdoor Lights: In the backyard, there is a light in the tree with the switch located on the tree. If you wish lighting at night, we recommend you use this light and not the porch light, as the porch light attracts bugs. The front yard also has a tree light.
