Check-out instructions

The host requires you complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks, and take out the trash
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Place used towels in the shower or tub
If you moved any furniture, we’d really appreciate it if you could return it to its original spot.
If anything was accidentally damaged during your stay, no worries at all — just let us know so we can take care of it
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Rules

QUIET HOURS: 9 p.m. - 7 a.m. outdoors (so neighbors can enjoy their peace too)
Respect the Septic System: - Only flush the three P's: pee, poop, and (toilet) paper - No wipes, tampons, or other items—they'll cause sewer backups!

Fun and Relaxing

The property was everything they stated and more!! The kitchen had everything you could have imagined to prepare meals with along with the gas grill outside. There was a good assortment of games to play and we did play some of them. The outside is very well maintained and there are kayaks there to use so you don’t have to rent them. A 15 minute ride will get you to several different area attractions which makes it a great location. We have absolutely no complaints with this VRBO.
