This my welcome email, I make it painfully clear that they can only bring the numbers that they originally reserved for, and pets must be reported… I have had MANY guest message me shortly after receiving this stating, oh we need to bring our dog sitter backed out, when in reality they probably intend to bring the dog without paying the fee all along, but they decided they are busted with the cameras in the driveway statement. I’ve also called people shortly after checkin telling them I saw a dog on check in that wasn’t reported… OF COURSE they were just getting g ready to call and let us know they needed to bring their dog.

There are two ways to get down to the lake, the less steep one is hidden a bit, it is a meandering trail to the right of the fire pit, the other one is in the middle of the yard and is a pretty steep decline. Our lake lot is the dock to the right of the house at the bottom of the hill straight behind the cabin. We just had brand new stairs installed to the lake, this makes getting to the dock much smoother. I may be to cold and snowy to venture to the lake, but it is beautiful to look at from the loft in the home! Grab some coco or hot coffee and enjoy the winter view.
There are check in and check out instructions as well as a few house rules in kitchen, our numbers are there too, so please call or text if you need anything.
The home has security monitoring, the cameras are at each entrance, as well as in driveway area. We do not have cameras on while guests are at the property. They are there for when the home is not occupied. We do not live onsite, but are available via text or call and have maintenance in case of an emergency.
Have a great time! Eric and Robin
