The house comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, with the option for more if you bring an airbed or use the couch for sleeping. There is only one full bathroom, but the spacious layout allows for flexible arrangements and storage.

Accessibility
The home is accessible with only one step to enter, and once inside, there are no steps. However, due to the home’s age, some floors are slightly uneven, which may be a concern for guests with limited mobility.

Parking
Parking is straightforward, with an outdoor driveway adjacent to the house, providing space for several cars or a truck and a boat.

Pets
Dogs are welcome with a pet fee, but no cats are allowed. Please keep pets leashed, as the neighbor’s dogs are typically leashed as well. Clean up after your pet, both indoors and outdoors.

Smoking/Illegal Activity
Smoking is permitted outside only, and cigarette butts must be disposed of properly. Smoking indoors will incur a $350 fee. Illegal activities are prohibited and will be reported.

Stay Duration
Bookings are accepted for stays of 2-30 nights. Longer stays can be arranged by contacting the host.

Building Structure
Built in the early 1900s, the home is stable but has uneven, creaky floors due to foundation settling.

Occasional encounters with ants, spiders, fruit flies, or earwigs may occur despite regular pest control. The property is near the water, so noise from cars, boats, and other lake activities may be heard.
