The environment and sustainability is important to us. Sheets are organic cotton and we do our best to use eco-friendly toiletries, cleaning and laundry supplies when available. Our property is in a lake community surrounded by woods. You will see wildlife including squirrel, deer, swans, ducks, heron. You may also see insects, bugs, bats, snakes, ants, bees, wasps, spiders, mice, raccoon, fish, and other creatures that call the woods and lake their home. We do have an exterminating company treat our property occasionally. However, if you encounter an insect or ant, please feel free to dispose of it or catch and release it to the outside world (your choice). Refunds or discounts will not be issued due to creature sightings. Check-out instructions will be in the house, but are very simple common courtesies. Please empty the fridge and freezer of your items, do the dishes/start the dishwasher, and take out trash & recyclables to the outdoor bins. (Please note, during the winter months, the lake may be purposely lowered a few feet to allow residents to perform maintenance on their docks, but it is still fun to kayak or canoe on.)
