⚠️ Amenity Badges (Important Update for 2026)



Effective January 1, 2026, the Towamensing Trails Property Owners Association has updated its rental program. Eight (8) blue amenity badges with lanyards will replace wristbands. These are permanent badges provided for guest use during your stay.



Good news! There is no additional cost for the badges—they are already included with your reservation.



📌 Please DO NOT TAKE THE BADGES HOME or DISCARD them. All badges must be returned to the property and placed back in their designated location at the end of your stay.



🚨 IMPORTANT: If any amenity badges are LOST or STOLEN after checkout, a $150 replacement fee will apply.



⚠️ Car pass registration fee will be collected separately from your reservation. Please see the fee breakdown below:

🔴 $5 per vehicle – Fee depends on the number of cars registered.



📌 Please note: These are not host-imposed fees. These are community-required fees set by Towamensing Trails to help cover the costs of operating and maintaining the community’s amenities and facilities.



✅ The driveway can accommodate a maximum of 6 cars, as this is the maximum capacity permitted by our township.

🔴 All vehicle information must be provided

🔴 Please message us 5 days prior to check-in for any changes in the number of vehicles. Last-minute changes are not allowed.

✅ Guest will have vehicle access to the community trash collection center

✅ Wristbands are valid for the entire stay and will give you access to all the community amenities:

1. 190-acre Lake

2. Beach

3. Outdoor Pool (Seasonal)

3. Basketball and Volleyball Courts

4. Tennis and Pickleball Courts

5. Playground

🌟 Day Pass Wristband Policy for Towamensing Trails Guests 🌟



✨ How To Purchase More Amenity Wrist Bands

📌For example: Since our maximum limit is 12 guests, you can buy 4 extra day passes for your group.



🎟️ How to Get Extra Wristbands:

▪️ Visit the Boat Rental Office (near the lake and beach area adjacent to the community's clubhouse)

▪️ Bring your rental packet and photo ID.

▪️ Cost: $10 per person, per day

▪️ Payment must be made in Cash

▪️ Children under 5 still do not need a wristband!



We hope this added flexibility enhances your stay and gives everyone in your group the chance to make the most of our beautiful community.😊



Guests are not permitted to have outdoor fires in Towamensing Trails.



Given our property's rural setting, you might occasionally notice small, non-harmful insects. Rest assured, we have comprehensive, year-round pest control measures in place and work hard to minimize these encounters. Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if you have any concerns!



⚠️ Friendly Note: 🐻 Since our home is tucked in nature, you may spot a black bear in the area from time to time. No worries - they’re generally well-behaved and prefer to keep their distance from people. As long as food and trash are secured, they’ll simply wander by and continue on their way.



NOTE: We provide enough essential items to cover stays of about 2-3 nights. If you need more supplies during your stay, you can visit one of the following nearby stores: Square One Markets, Family Dollar and CVS.



⚠️ Quiet hours are 10:00 pm - 8 am (This is HEAVILY enforced by the HOA and will result in a fine). If a complaint is filed from the HOA/Neighbor it will result in a $500 fine.

⚠️ There are no fireworks allowed to be set-off at our home and if there are it will result in a $1000 fine and call for an immediate eviction from the property.

⚠️ No parties. We have strict rules against house parties in our home

⚠️ No extra guests without prior approval

⚠️ No Smoking within 25 feet of the property. There is a $500 fine for smoking in the unit.

⚠️ No trash should ever be left outside at the property including on the balcony. The HOA is very strict and issues a $310 penalty if any garbage is left outside. All guests are required to dispose of their trash at the community dumpster.

♨️ Hot Tub Notice – Please Read 😊



📌 We strive to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Occasionally, if a previous guest hasn’t followed proper usage guidelines, we may need to drain, clean, and refill the hot tub before your stay for health and safety reasons 🧼🦠. If this happens, please note that it may take until the evening of your first night (or slightly longer, depending on the weather) for the water to fully heat back up 🔥🌙. We totally get that guests look forward to relaxing in the hot tub, and we only perform this maintenance when absolutely necessary to ensure a clean and safe experience for everyone 💧👍.

__________________________________________________________________________

◾Side of House: Ring floodlight camera



All cameras are positioned to monitor entry points and the exterior of the property only. There are no cameras inside the home or in private areas like the hot tub.
