Other things to note
🏡 Property Condition
Please note that the property currently has some deferred maintenance and cosmetic items. These do not affect the safety of the home, but you may notice signs of normal wear and some areas that have not yet been updated. Please keep in mind that the listing photos may not reflect every aspect of the property's current condition.
We are planning renovations beginning in early summer 2027, and our pricing has been adjusted to reflect the property's current condition.
Despite these items, the home is a wonderful place to enjoy the water, views, hot tub, and quality time with family and friends.

Parking 🚗: Maximum of 3 vehicles, including visitor vehicles. Please do not block neighboring driveways. Additional parking is available up the street; see the Guidebook for details. Vehicles exceeding the limit or blocking neighbors driveways may be towed at the owner's expense.

Hot Tub ♨️: The hot tub is cleaned and treated after every stay, with the water fully changed at least monthly or as needed. Following treatment, the water may temporarily appear cloudy or have a slight brown or green tint for up to 12–24 hours. This is a normal part of the treatment process. If the hot tub requires a full water change, heating the fresh water to the desired temperature may take up to 48 hours depending on weather conditions. If the hot tub is unavailable due to necessary maintenance, a partial refund may be offered at our discretion.

Pets 🐾: Well-behaved pets are welcome. A $200 non-refundable fee applies per pet, with a maximum of 2 pets allowed. If you plan to bring more than 2 pets, please contact us in advance for approval. Additional pets may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Propane 🔥: The propane tank is provided on an honor system, as usage varies during each stay. If the tank needs to be refilled or exchanged during your stay, you may do so at a nearby gas station. Please keep your receipt and send it to us for reimbursement.

Security Cameras 👁️: There are 6 exterior cameras covering the parking area, entry stairs, rear/grounds, patio/rear entrance, deck stairs, and river dock. Cameras are active 24/7 and may record. There are no cameras inside the home. Two indoor noise monitors measure noise levels but do not record audio. Motion, door/window, smoke, carbon monoxide, and humidity monitors are also present.

Cobwebs 🕸️: Due to the property's location near the water, cobwebs may appear more quickly, especially during summer. We clean them regularly, but they may reappear during your stay.

Neighbor Signage: Our neighbor has posted “No Trespassing” and “Renters Go Away” signs to discourage trespassing and protect their property boundaries. Please respect their property and remain within the designated areas of our rental.

We had a wonderful stay! We rented this home for our wedding weekend, and it worked perfectly for what we needed. One of the things we appreciated most was the two-story layout, which allowed both wedding parties to have their own space to get ready and prepare for the event without getting in each other’s way.
The balcony was another highlight. The lake view was beautiful and created such a peaceful atmosphere, especially during such a busy and memorable weekend.
The home gave us plenty of space and made our wedding preparations much easier and more enjoyable. It became part of a very special weekend for our family, and we’re grateful for the experience. We would definitely recommend it, especially for groups or families looking for a spacious place with a beautiful view.
