You'll then have the choice between the game room, packed with Pool, Table Tennis, Fuzzballs, Mortal Combat arcade game, the Simpsons arcade game, or Pacman, and the expansive dining room, comfortably seating up to 8 guests.

Stepping out of the dining room, an inviting outdoor lounge and dining area awaits. Perfect for al fresco meals or stargazing. Further exploration reveals a luxurious hot tub, accommodating up to 6 people, followed by a private gazebo area with another bluetooth Sonos speaker and the ideal spot for Cornhole, Jenga, or Bocce Ball.

Other Things to Note:
‼️Important House & HOA Rules‼️

⚠️Stillwater Lake Civic Association Rental Fees⚠️ (Collected separately from the reservation)
🔴$80 per reservation. Paid prior to the reservation.

📌Please note that the $80 HOA registration fee only covers your registration with the community but does not include access to the amenities like the pool, beach, lakes, or courts. If you'd like to use the community amenities, wristbands can be purchased separately at the HOA office for $5 per person, per day (for ages 14 and up). If you're planning to use them for multiple days, just let us know as the HOA is often willing to work out a deal for a lower rate. 😊

⚠️ Quiet hours are 10pm - 6am. If a complaint is filed from the HOA/Neighbor it will result in a $500 fine.
⚠️ There are no fireworks allowed to be set-off at our home and if there are it will result in a $1000 fine and call for an immediate eviction from the property.
⚠️ No parties. We have strict rules against house parties in our home
⚠️ No extra guests without prior approval
⚠️ No Smoking within 25 feet of the property. There is a $500 fine for smoking in the unit.
⚠️ Surfaces may be slippery when icy/wet. Walk, run, drive, and park at your own risk in any area on the property. Salt/Shovels are provided at the home for use throughout your stay. (Winter Season)
⚠️ Firewood is not provided year-round and will need to be purchased for your stay. Please visit the local Dollar General, Lowes, Walmart, or Tractor Supply to purchase a bundle for a cheap amount.
⚠️ We do our best to ensure there is propane available for grills and/or fire pits, but cannot guarantee there will be propane for use throughout your stay. If all available tanks are empty, we ask that you refill a tank and provide a receipt for reimbursement. Note: be sure to refill/replace the existing tanks - do not purchase a brand new tank.
⚠️ Given our property's rural setting, you might occasionally notice small, non-harmful insects. Rest assured, we have comprehensive, year-round pest control measures in place and work hard to minimize these encounters. Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if you have any concerns!
⚠️UPDATE: The Simpsons arcade is temporarily out of order until further notice.
⚠️ Friendly Note: 🐻 Since our home is tucked in nature, you may spot a black bear in the area from time to time. No worries - they’re generally well-behaved and prefer to keep their distance from people. As long as food and trash are secured, they’ll simply wander by and continue on their way.

♨️ Hot Tub Notice – Please Read 😊

📌We strive to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Occasionally, if a previous guest hasn’t followed proper usage guidelines, we may need to drain, clean, and refill the hot tub before your stay for health and safety reasons 🧼🦠. If this happens, please note that it may take until the evening of your first night (or slightly longer, depending on the weather) for the water to fully heat back up 🔥🌙. We totally get that guests look forward to relaxing in the hot tub, and we only perform this maintenance when absolutely necessary to ensure a clean and safe experience for everyone 💧👍.
