    OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
    ○ The charging cable for EV charging is not included - bring your own cable.
    ○ The TVs do not have cable or streaming subscriptions. Most popular apps are already downloaded - simply bring your own login details. The family room TV has a Chromecast that you can use to cast sports from your laptop.
    ○ The games room is in the garage and is not heated space. However it is insulated and has heated living areas above it, so it's not freezing and can still be enjoyed in the winter with a light jacket.
    ○ Please report any accidental damage as soon as it occurs.
    ○ Guests are responsible for any fines incurred as a result of breaking community rules (this has never happened yet).
    ○ The owners may store a vehicle in the garage, however it is a very large garage and there will still be space for 2 guest vehicles.
    ○ A golf cart is stored in the garage. Unfortunately, it's not available for guest use (for insurance reasons).
    ○ Guests should plan on cleaning the outdoor propane grill after use, if they use it during their stay. Cleaning supplies are located in a crate under the grill. The cleaning fee for the house does not include cleaning the grill. If the grill is left dirty then an additional fee may apply.
    ○ Only registered watercraft are allowed on the lake, so unfortunately guests cannot bring their own watercraft.

    ADDITIONAL RULES:
    ○ Minimum age for Primary Renter is 30.
    ○ No candles, slime or confetti.
    ○ No events.
    ○ No guests are allowed at the house in addition to those on the original booking - including day guests - this is for insurance reasons.
    ○ No bachelor parties/weekends or prom celebrations.
    ○ Host reserves the right to request photo ID from primary renter to verify age and facilitate contactless check-in.
    ○ If you use the Weber propane grill outside, please clean it after use.
