Other things to note
The following are strictly prohibited and not allowed:
Parties, events, small/big get-togethers.

Our dock is equipped with a boat lift (6,000 lb capacity) which is available for use at your own risk. Additionally, we provide six (2 small 4 big with one being a double) kayaks for your enjoyment. The depth off our dock is over 6 feet and quickly deepens, making it suitable for diving and jumping from the dock itself; however, diving or jumping from the boathouse is not permitted.

Please note that while the boat lift cannot accommodate pontoon boats, they can be securely tied up to the dock. For added convenience, there is a private boat ramp within our neighborhood, approximately one mile from the property, which is available for your use as our guest. Further details regarding the ramp and other amenities will be provided in your reservation packet after booking.

Situated on just over an acre of land, our property also provides ample space to securely store your trailer during your stay, whether for a weekend or a full week.


The landscaping is currently a work in progress. While the path leading to the water and dock has been extended, ongoing water erosion has necessitated its reconstruction using cement for durability. Portions of the walkway remain incomplete, and we plan to finalize the work during periods when the property is unoccupied.

We provide both a propane grill and a propane smoker for your use during your stay, with the propane cost covered by us. In the event the tank is empty upon your arrival or runs out during your stay, we will gladly reimburse you for swapping the tank. Simply send us a copy of the receipt, and we will process the reimbursement via Venmo.

The neighborhood has very strict rules regarding noise in place. Please kindly respect our neighbors. We have zero tolerance for noise or disturbances. Quiet hours are strictly enforced.
