House Rules
Being mindful of our house rules is appreciated and expected. We hope you love our space and will help us take care of it.

- Quiet time is between 10 PM and 8 AM to respect neighbors and the area. No loud music or shouting after this time.
- No parties allowed in the home.
- Do not adjust the pool pump, filters, or other equipment without contacting us first. Unauthorized changes can cause damage exceeding $2,000 to repair.

Amenities
Hot Tub
The hot tub is open year-round. Our maintenance team cleans and checks chemicals frequently.
Pool
The pool is open from the 3rd week of May through the end of September. Our maintenance team cleans it and checks chemicals frequently. Our pool and spa company visits once per week (typically Thursday or Friday) to clean, sanitize, and ensure everything is working properly.
Keep in mind the pool may collect leaves and small animals during your stay. Frogs are common—simply use the net to remove them.
Pool Heating
A pool heater is available for an additional $20 per day (includes sauna access). Send us a message before turning it on.
To turn on the pool heater:
Go to the tan/grey box near the pool shed, just to the right of the door. The screen will have multiple options for pool, spa, and heating settings.
For the spa only: Select "spa" and set the temperature to around 100 degrees for a warm soak. You can turn this off between uses to save power.
For the entire pool: Switch settings to "pool" and set the temperature to around 90 degrees for comfortable swimming. Keep it at this temperature throughout your stay for consistency. Turn off the pool heater upon departure.
Pool Lighting: To turn on the pool lights, open the small breaker box next to the pool shed near the fence. Flip the farther breaker switch upwards to turn on the pool lighting. Please turn this off during the day and when you check out.
Laundry: We provide complimentary in-house laundry with detergent included. If you use the dryer, please clean out any lint, as excessive buildup is a fire hazard.
Coffee: A standard drip coffee maker is available. We provide generic coffee flavors, cream, sugar, and filters. If you prefer something specific, we recommend picking it up beforehand.
Television: The property is equipped with smart TVs. Simply press one of the apps on the TV and log in to access streaming movies and TV shows.
Locking the Back Door
To lock the back door, shut it all the way, then pull up on the handle until it clicks and activates the locking mechanism. You can then lock or unlock the deadbolt.
Garbage
Garbage day is every Tuesday morning. If your stay overlaps with this day, please take garbage and recycling bags out to the street for pickup.
Lawn Care
Our lawn care service comes by weekly. They don't have a set time, but they are quick and will be out of your way.
Mail and Packages
We do not recommend having deliveries sent to the property, as we cannot guarantee safe and timely delivery or monitor the property at all times.
For a more secure option, we recommend using the local post office's general delivery service. They can receive and store packages until you pick them up. Please provide clear instructions to delivery personnel if you choose this option.
Please note that packages or mail delivered outside your reservation dates likely will not reach you.
Items Left Behind
If you leave personal items behind at the property, we are happy to assist in their retrieval and shipment to you. Please be aware that there will be a shipping cost and labor involved that will need to be paid before we can ship the items.
