The space
Our Lakehouse is directly on a lake, and it DOES NOT have central AC. That said, it often gets a wonderful breeze off the lake! Each room also has ceiling fans.
Guest access
Guests can access all of the property except the garage, which is locked to guests.
Guests have access to abundant parking and yard space. We have a large lot directly on the lake, so please do not block or interfere with our neighbors use of their property.
Other things to note
WARNING: Shallow water. DO NOT dive off docks. All children must be accompanied by an adult when outside or near the lake.
SWIMMING AND BOATING IS AT GUEST OWN RISK. CHILDREN MUST NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED WHILE OUTSIDE OR AT THE LAKE FRONT. ABSOLUTELY NO DIVING OFF DOCKS. WARNING: WATER IS SHALLOW. Guests who book a stay at our Lakehouse (“Guests”) are fully responsible for their own actions and the actions of their guests - invited or uninvited. Guests are responsible for all injuries to persons or damage to property caused directly or indirectly by Guests or their guests or invitees. Absolutely no smoking inside our Lakehouse, or on our boat or any furniture we provide - including outdoor furniture.
Our Lakehouse includes a well-stocked kitchen for cooking, and we have a charcoal grill outside. If you’d like to use the charcoal grill we provide, please bring your own charcoal for your grilling needs.
As stated in the description, our Lakehouse is directly on the lake. As such, there are bugs outside and wildlife noises, and the lake is exactly that - a lake! It isn’t man-made or maintained (except that we do rake and maintain our beach area as best we can), and seaweed and other lake wildlife will wash ashore. As well, the lake has many turtles, fish and other wildlife who enjoy their lake habitats. Our end of Vineyard Lake is very shallow, which is great for swimming for some folks, and yet others who may want to swim in deeper water (to avoid lake/marine life!) can do so by floating out a ways on a raft (that you can provide) to where it gets deeper, or take a boat to deeper areas of the lake. The beach area is enjoyable by folks of all ages too, but keep in mind, it’s a lake! (And, if you don’t want to deal with lake-life, please don’t book our beautiful Lakehouse!!)
With permission, we do allow a well-behaved pet, provided Guests are fully responsible for any damage or injury to persons or property, such pet is not permitted on the furniture or in the beds, and they’re picked-up after in the yard - promptly. When permitted, we charge a $150 nonrefundable pet fee to cover potential costs that may be incurred by such pet.
