FAQs & Misc details
What is the Cellphone service and internet situation?
Cell phone service is not great in the neighborhood. We have used T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T all with varying degrees of success depending which phone was used. We have mostly been able to take phone calls on any of the major networks, bu have poor data connection.
We provide guest wifi, and have fast wifi speeds.
Is fishing allowed?
No, this lake does not allow for private or public fishing, per HOA rules. This is monitored by the community, and guests found fishing will be fined.
What lake equipment do you provide?
We provide 4 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, and 1 peddleboat. Guests are free to use our boats during the stay. Please ensure each boat is placed back where it was found (kayaks and paddleboards on their respective racks, and peddleboats docked in the same location attached to the dock leash). Use at your own risk. Any damage will be charged to guest via Airbnb. We have several life jackets guests may borrow ranging from toddler to adult, but cannot guarantee that we have your size.
Note: Do not bring a motorized boat, our lake does not permit motorized boar activity.
Should we bring our own drinking water?
Our water is provided via a private well. The home is on a "whole house 4 stage water filter" but, some who are not used to well water may find the taste off putting, so we do recommend bringing bottled water.
Can we use the fire pit?
Yes. guests may use either the wood burning fire pit or the gas fire table. Note: we do not provide firewood, so be sure to bring your own. For safety reasons, we do not provide an axe or other cutting tool, so be sure to pre-cute your wood and kindling before you arrive.

Do you have cable tv?
We do not provide cable. However both TVs are Roku enabled, so you can log into any streaming services you subscribe to.
Do you provide coffee?
Yes. In an effort to reduce waste, our coffee is a steeped variety. It is prepared similarly to tea, by steeping the bags in hot water.
Is there a Pack N’ Play onsite?
Yes, we provide a Pack N’ Play. Guests clean up and put away (in the closet where it was found) the Pack N’ Play at checkout.
Can we bring our pet(s)?
No, we do have a strict no pets policy to keep allergens at a minimum. Pet dander can be very difficult (and expensive) to remove. If it is found that the guest did not abide by this rule, an additional cleaning fee of $200 will be be charged by AirBnb to ensure preoper allergen cleaning.
Other rules:
Absolutely no smoking anywhere on the property, including outdoors.
Absolutely no fireworks allowed on premises.
Quiet hours after 10pm
We request that guests use the "foot wash station" next to the deck after enjoying the beach. Sand is very difficult to remove/clean from the home interior, an extra cleaning fee of $50 will be charged for guests that don't follow this rule.
Security Cameras: there are security cameras at the driveway entrance and a front doorbell camera. There is also a security camera over the parking area. We only monitor these cameras if you ring the doorbell or if we are not expecting guests to arrive.
