Family Room
Fireplace: Use with caution - no use of accelerants (gasoline, fire starter or any flammable liquid). Please use paper and fire starter logs. Make sure screen is closed tight and be sure fire it is out when going to bed. Do NOT use water to extinguish a fire unless in an emergency situation. The flue is open - no need to open.
Lights/Fan: The lights in the family room are labeled. Note there is no fan in the family room.

Games
There are several children’s games in the black file cabinet (top shelf) behind the couch. Feel free to use the games while staying at our house. Please be sure to put the proper game pieces with the corresponding game.

In the bunk room, the outlets are run by the light switch. So, if you need to use the outlets while having the lights out, you will need to manually turn the lights off by pulling on the chain attached to the light fixture. Note, there is no fan in this room.

Outdoor Shower
There is a wooden structure on the side of the house that contains an outdoor shower. This system is not tied to the septic system! This is a fantastic option when coming off the lake and there is lots of grass and mud. It’s also great to take a shower under the stars.
Outdoor furniture, balconies, grill, etc

Fire pit is in backyard just off back deck with red chairs. Please be responsible and make sure all fire is out when leaving the property.

Grill is propane and there is a back-up tank on the porch. Please use red stick lighters located in drawer next to stove in the kitchen to light.

Dock
Water is too low for boats to park at dock from mid-Sept- mid-May. Kayaks and SUP's can be used year- round and can be rented at the local marinas. Feel free to use the dock and any of our toys left on the dock. Our pontoon boat will be docked on the side of our dock out of the way. Use of the boat is not part of the rental agreement. Use of the dock with a rental boat is welcomed. Please be aware of the depth of water (from 7 ft to 4 ft in summer).

Septic System 101:
Never pour grease down the drain. Pour grease into a container and dispose of it as solid waste.
Scrape food waste into the garbage, not down the drain. Nothing that doesn’t come out of a human goes into the toilet, except toilet paper. Place baby wipes in the garbage.
Avoid long showers.
Washing Machine: Washing more than one full load daily — or perhaps two if the loads are spaced by about 12 hours — is the limit for the drain field.
Cleaning Needs: No Bleach! Anything labeled “antiseptic” is out — these products kill the “good” bacteria necessary for the septic to function.
The tenant is responsible for plumbing repairs if they flushed items such as sanitary napkins or diapers down the toilet.
The rental agreement is ONLY for the stated amount of people in the AirBnB agreement. The septic system can/will not handle a large volume of people and will overflow if too many people use it.

We leave you alone to make new beautiful memories! Make yourselves at home. If you do need immediate assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re just a phone call or message away.
