Other things to note
🌲 Welcome to Our Home! 🌲
We want you to have the most relaxing stay possible. To help keep our home—and our relationship with the neighbors—in tip-top shape, please follow these community guidelines:
🤫 Rest & Relaxation
Quiet Hours: To keep the mountain peace, please move the party inside and lower the volume after 11:00 PM 🌙.
Good Neighbors: Please be mindful of property lines and enjoy staying within our designated yard space 🏡.
Community Safety: Our community is full of kids and pets! Please stick to the 25mph speed limit. Security is strict, and a speeding ticket is a hefty $200—let’s keep that money in your pocket instead! 🏎️🛑
💦 Outdoor Fun & Safety
The Hot Tub: For your comfort and safety, we limit the soak to 4 people at a time 🫧.
Lake Days: Feel free to use the kayak! For your safety, life vests are required. Please remember to lock the kayak back up when you’re done 🚣.
Amenity Badges: During summer, don't forget your badges for the lake or pool! 🎟️ Since the community charges us heavily for these, there is a $200 replacement fee for any lost badges. Check-out tip: Please leave them on the kitchen counter and send us a quick photo so we know they’re safe! 📸
🏠 Keeping the House Happy
The Floors: We love our hardwood! To prevent scratches, please remove high heels at the door. Your feet will thank you, too! 👠🚫
Cozy Vibes: If you’re using the wood or pellet stove, please check our Guest Information Package (on the table or in your email) for easy instructions 🪵🔥.
Safety First: To keep everyone safe, we do not allow candles, fireworks, or glitter (inside or out). Let’s keep the sparkle limited to the stars! ✨
Water Usage: If you use the outdoor hose, please make sure to shut it off completely as soon as you’re finished 💧.
Deck Weight: To keep our view secure, we kindly ask that no more than 5 people hang out on the deck at once 🌲.
🛡️ For Your Peace of Mind
Security: For your protection and ours, there are three exterior security cameras located at the front entrance, front deck, and the side of the driveway 📹.
Please note that while we strive to keep all listed amenities available, community-managed facilities (such as pools, courts, or lakes) are subject to seasonal closures, maintenance, or HOA policy changes beyond our control and do not warrant refunds.
