LAKESIDE SETTING The property is lakeside with water views, but there is no direct lake access from the yard. HOT TUB & SAUNA Hot tub and sauna use is at your own risk. Children must be supervised at all times. No food, drinks, or unsupervised children are permitted in the hot tub. The hot tub and sauna are not guaranteed amenities and may be unavailable at any time for any reason, including but not limited to maintenance, repairs, weather conditions, or operational issues. Availability is not guaranteed, and no refunds, credits, or compensation will be provided if the hot tub or sauna is unavailable during your stay. WATER & UTILITIES The home is on a well water system, which may occasionally appear slightly discolored or contain natural sediment. This is common and safe to use. The property is on a private sewer system — please flush toilet paper only. SECURITY The property has exterior-only security cameras covering the driveway/entry and exterior areas. These are used for guest safety and to ensure the home is prepared for arrival. Cameras are not actively monitored during guest stays, and there are no interior cameras.

As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional. To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots. Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include: Early Check-In: Early check-in is sometimes available, but not guaranteed. If the home is ready early, the hour before check-in time is always free, and if you’d like to get in earlier, it’s $35/hr. Late Check-Out: Late check-out is sometimes available, but not guaranteed. If it is available, it’s $35/hr. DISCOUNTS Since you read so far and we want to host you, mention the secret words *PEPPERONI PIZZA* in a message when you book and get $10 off of your first night when you check in! (for stays of 2 nights or longer). License #012386
