Other things to note

We are committed to Rent Responsibly standards. This means we follow best-in-class guidelines to ensure you have a peaceful, safe and memorable stay with us. We care a lot about maintaining good relationships with our community, so we appreciate you following these “house rules” during your stay.

LICENSE AGREEMENT: The guest booking the property must digitally sign a license agreement immediately following the reservation. The most important terms of the agreement are included below, and the guest may cancel a booking penalty free within 24 hours. If the license agreement is not completed with 24 hours then the reservation will be cancelled. The agreement will be sent via text message, so please be sure your phone number is correct before booking.

AGE 25 OR OLDER TO BOOK: The guest booking the property must be 25 years of age or older. We reserve the right to request a photo or scan of a government-issued photo ID. The guest who books must stay at the property–you may not book for others if you do not intend to stay at the property.

QUIET HOURS START AT 10 PM: Our property’s quiet hours of 10 pm to 6 am are required by county ordinance and enforced by local police. If the police respond to a noise complaint, every individual on the property may face a misdemeanor criminal charge and be subject to a fine by the county of $300. Failure to abide by the county noise ordinance will result in the immediate termination of the stay without refund.

Past noise complaints have always come from groups of 20-somethings. If you are booking for a group of people in their twenties and you think your group may want to play loud music at any time then do not book this property or cancel your reservation if you have already booked. Find another place for your trip so you do not have your trip terminated early and without refund.

NOISE MONITORING AND SECURITY CAMERA: We use devices that measure volume levels throughout the property (like a smoke detector but for noise) and allow us to respond to noise nuisances before the police are called. The devices are triggered primarily by sustained periods of loud music, not things like loud talking or laughter (which is encouraged!). The devices do not record audio and are 100% privacy compliant. We also have a security camera that records the front door and driveway. This allows us to facilitate remote check in and monitor the property between guests.

ACCIDENT FORGIVENESS: Every stay is backed by our accident forgiveness program. Guests will not be held responsible for damage caused during their stay (up to a maximum of $1,500) if 1) the damage is accidental, and 2) the damage is reported as soon as possible, and by no later than the check out time.

POSSIBLE BACKGROUND CHECK: We reserve the right to use a third-party to verify the guest’s identity and check criminal databases to finalize the reservation. Complete terms regarding the guest verification are provided in the lodging agreement, and can be provided sooner upon request.

NO MUSIC OUTDOORS: This is a quiet, family-friendly lake community, not a place to party. Residents and guests alike come here to relax amid the peace and quiet of the lake. Because of this, and because sound carries so easily across the lake, we do not allow guests to play any music outdoors. Other reasonable noise, from children playing outside, for example, is no problem.

NO PETS: No exceptions, sorry. Please don’t ask whether we can allow your perfectly house-trained, hypoallergenic labradoodle to join because we can’t 🙂

SNOW-INS: During the winter, there is a good chance that a significant snow storm could restrict access in and out of the cabin. The roads are plowed, but not always promptly. 4 wheel drive is highly recommended in the event of a snow storm, and you need to use good judgement as to whether to cancel a trip before it begins or leave the cabin early.

FIREPLACE: You are encouraged to use the fireplace as long as you do so carefully! Always keep the grate securely shut unless you are actively putting logs inside. We do not guarantee there will be firewood or fire starter at the cabin, so plan to bring your own. The River Country Store 1.5 mi away sells bundles of wood.

NO HEATING IN PORCH: The three-season porch off the back of the cabin does not have any heating and will get a bit chilly in the wintertime. Please note this is where the dining table is located. The only other dining space indoors is around the kitchen island.

NO SMOKING: Smoking and vaping are never allowed inside the house. You may smoke or vape outside as long as you clean up after yourself. You may not litter cigarette butts on the deck, in the yard, or anywhere else–butts must go in the trash after they have cooled off. If smoking inside the screened porch, please turn on the fan so that the smoke does not linger and leave a smell.

NUMBER OF GUESTS: It is important to have the correct number of guests on the reservation, so please update accordingly if the number changes after you first book. There are only enough plates, glasses, etc. for a maximum of 6 people, and the septic plumbing cannot handle more than 6 people at once. Only registered guests are allowed to use the home, day or night.

SHEETS: At the end of your stay, please strip the sheets off the beds that were used and leave the sheets on top of the beds.

PARKING: There is room for up to 4 cars in the driveway, but if parking more than 2 cars, you might have to box in other cars by parking behind them.

BRING OR RENT YOUR OWN BOATS: We do not offer kayaks or other boats to guests. The Mountain Lake Club on the lake does rent boats from Memorial Day to Labor Day, including at least one pontoon boat. No gas-powered boats are allowed on the lake–only small electric motors are allowed.

BUGS AND MICE: We have regular pest control to minimize the presence of bugs and mice. However, this is a cabin in the woods, and that means no matter what you do there will still be bugs, especially in the summertime. Even if you are careful, some of those bugs will find their way into the house. You must carefully clean up the kitchen every night and securely package up all food so you do not attract bugs or mice. It is rare that mice are spotted inside the cabin, but it has happened before and could happen again. If the sight of a mouse would be too much to bear then you should not book this or any other cabin in the woods.

WAIVER OF LIABILITY FOR USE OF LAKE: By using the lake you agree to follow all house rules associated with it and you release the owner of the property from all liability relating to injuries that may occur while using the hot tub and/or the lake, regardless of whether injuries are caused by negligence.

SEPTIC SYSTEM: This house has a septic system. Grease and oil must never be allowed down any of the sink drains. Feminine hygiene products must be thrown away in a trash can and not flushed down a toilet. Never flush solid trash down the toilet or into a sink drain.

NO FIREWORKS: Fireworks are not allowed.

NO FIREARMS: Guests may not bring firearms or ammunition inside the house.

NO ILLEGAL DRUGS: Guests may not possess or consume any illegal drugs on the property, including cannabis.

We enjoyed our stay by the lake. The area was peaceful and quiet! The cabin had all we needed to enjoy our stay. The online house guide answered all our questions from how things worked to what to do in the area. And I’ll say that the owners responded quickly to questions.
I highly recommend this spot!!! It’s quite a gem!

The cabin was exactly as pictured! Charming, cozy and rustic in all the right ways! Loved it! The kitchen was well appointed and clean. We had everything we needed to make a quick breakfast and a casual dinner. The only thing that would have made our stay better would have been if the weather had been warm enough for coffee on the private dock. Of course, that’s beyond the control of even the best hotelier. 😁 It was a great stay! Let’s do it again sometime!

The forest and the lake are so peaceful, and being a little bit secluded is great. The cabin is very nice. We had everything we needed and it was as clean as it could be. Having the screened room, the deck, the patio and the dock for options to lounge and have a nice view of the water is the best. Inside is cozy and comfortable. We wish we could put this place up in northern Michigan for our get away back home. We may be back to this area in the future and will certainly look to get this place again with no second thoughts. Great stay. Great cabin.

It was great except for a couple of things that we want to mention for a better future service; getting a bad odor from the main level shower drainage, dish washer has bad leakage from doors but we loved everything else.

We loved our stay! We wanted to escape the city with our 3 month old baby and it’s not easy finding a cabin by a lake. This was ideal. The cabin was thoughtfully renovated and was SO clean. We did not see a bug or critter on our 3 night stay. In fact, the property itself was not buggy! Coming from DC, it was a welcome reprieve to not see a single mosquito. Thanks to all the dragonflies and water striders on the lake 🙂 Some neighborhood ducks also stopped by to say hello while we were sitting by the lake. The sun room was so perfect to have breakfast in and enjoy your coffee while taking in the view. We are hopeful to come back again someday. Overall I recommend booking this if you’re looking for a quiet escape!
