We’re so excited to host you! To ensure everything goes smoothly with the community and the house, please take a quick look at our house notes:
👥 Booking & Guests
Guest Count: Please ensure your booking reflects the correct number of guests so we can have everything perfectly prepared for your group size 🏡.
🏘️ Community Guidelines
Cruising Speed: Our community is home to many furry friends and little ones! Please keep it under 25mph. Security is very observant, and a speeding ticket can be expensive (~$200) —we’d much rather you spend that on a nice dinner! 🚗🛑
Peace & Quiet: To keep the mountain vibes serene, please move activities inside after 11:00 PM for quiet hours 🌙.
Property Lines: We love our neighbors! Please enjoy the amenities on our lot and avoid wandering onto neighboring properties 🌲.
🛶 Fun & Safety
On the Water: You are welcome to use the kayak! For your safety, life vests are a must, and please remember to lock the boats back up after your adventure 🚣.
The Hot Tub: To keep the water sparkling and everyone safe, we limit the tub to 4 guests at a time 🫧.
Water Usage: If you use the outdoor hose, please be sure to turn it off completely when finished 💧.
🏠 Caring for the Home
Keep it Simple: To keep our home pristine for every guest, we have a no-glitter, no-fireworks, and no-candle policy. Let’s keep the magic to the natural scenery! ✨🚫
Security: For your peace of mind, we have 4 exterior cameras located on the corners of the house (monitoring the front entrance, picnic area, and rear decks). These help us keep the property secure for everyone 📹.
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.
We hope you have a fantastic and relaxing stay! Please let us know if you have any questions. 🌟
