OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION: Ongoing new home construction is active in the community. Some noise is possible between 7am-5pm.

PET OWNERS: Please take note that the fencing surrounding the home is a little high off the ground in some spots and may leave room for some smaller pets to find an escape route. Guests with smaller breeds should plan accordingly to ensure their pet stays within the yard, or on a leash if needed.

RURAL AREA: Neighborhood is located in a rural/unincorporated area. Just like people, animals and bugs also like being near the water. Home and yard are treated by a pest control service on a regular schedule to keep the unwanted visitors to a minimum, to the extent that this is possible. It is not uncommon to spot animals such as a raccoon or a fox in the area. It is also common to see stray dogs and cats in all areas around Cedar Creek Lake.

DOGS WELCOME: Those with pet allergies should take into consideration before booking, that even after thorough cleaning, we can not guarantee a 100% absence of pet dander.

EMPTY BOTTLES/DISPENSER: The beverage rack located on the wall next to the pool table and kitchen is primarily for decorative purposes. Please do not attempt to use this for dispensing beverages, or remove any of the empty bottles. You are free to use the wine glasses.
