Beach & Watercraft

We want you to have the best time on the water! A few things to keep in mind:

  • Beach towels are provided for use at the beach — please keep bath towels inside; they’re not meant for outdoor use
  • After use, please hang beach towels to dry — do not leave them in the beach area
  • Any watercraft, life jackets, oars, and beach equipment provided at the property are for your enjoyment — please return all items to the deck or secure them after each use
  • Swimming and use of all watercraft and beach equipment is at guests’ own risk
Lost or Damaged Items

Any lost or unreturned items (oars, life jackets, paddle boards, kayaks, beach toys, etc.) will be charged to guests at replacement cost.

Hot Tub

The hot tub is on the deck with lake views — a great way to unwind after a day at the beach. Before you get in:

  • Check water temperature before entering
  • Rinse off before use
  • Limit sessions to 15–20 minutes
  • No glass or food in or around the hot tub
  • Always replace the cover immediately after use — leaving the cover off causes the temperature to drop significantly and will result in an additional fee
  • Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult
Hot Tub Fees

Leaving the cover off will result in an additional fee. Excessive cleaning or draining required due to misuse may result in a $250 fee.

Grill Instructions

We want you to enjoy the grill! Please follow these steps to keep it in great shape for the next guests.

Getting Started

  • Turn the propane valve on (turn counterclockwise to open)
  • Set burners to HIGH and ignite
  • Preheat for 5–10 minutes before cooking
  • Grill your meal and enjoy!

After Use

  • While the grill is still warm, use the grill brush to scrub the grates clean
  • Turn all burners off and close the propane valve

Thank you for helping us keep the grill clean for everyone!
