Guest Access:

You have access to the entire property except for the garage, and cleaner’s closet which will both be locked.



The Neighborhood:

The neighborhood is safe and quiet, and the home is tucked away in the forest among other homes. We are a three minute walk to a private lake. The lake is usable year round but note that water samples are taken regularly to make sure that the water is safe for swimming. Sometimes during the summer, if toxic algae levels are found, signs will be marked around the lake sharing that it is unsafe for pets and people to enter. Because of this, booking this property does not guarantee that you will be able to safely use the lake. This tends to happen during the later part of the summer months. Please message me if you have any questions.



Other Things to Note:

Please read our rental agreement and waivers. Booking this space means you have read and acknowledged our rules and waivers. Thanks!



Interaction with Guests:

Please message me if you have any questions or concerns before and during your stay. I am available 24/7 and will message you quickly. We are not physically available at the property but we have a local team that can help if you have any issues during your stay.

We stayed here with our whole family for a month! The kids loved the backyard and the access to two parks and the lake. The house and neighborhood were quiet and private, would certainly stay here agin. Lake had trout and bass as well!

This house is like your own personal resort! It is family and pet friendly with lots of fun features to the house and yard. The decor is cozy modern with lots of antique accents. The kitchen is well appointed for easy dining or cooking adventures both inside and outside on the several grill stations throughout the yard. There is much to point out; a house full of play and entertainment areas for kids of all ages, beautiful landscaped woodland, covered patio dining area overlooking various playscape features complete with slide, climbing structures, kids little cabin, ground level kids’ trampoline, zip line, climbing tree etc. The neighborhood is a beautiful collection of well maintained homes on winding roads all wrapped around a pond where there are beach and picnic areas. We loved hanging out here and when more fun was needed we enjoyed several pool games. Competition was intense and fortunately there were no fights just lots of laughs.
