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.
⚠️ 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 empty, please refill a tank and provide a receipt for reimbursement (refill existing tanks - do not purchase brand new).
⚠️ 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!
⚠️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. No worries - they’re generally well-behaved and prefer to keep their distance. Secure food and trash, and they’ll wander by safely!
⚠️Winter Driving Note❄️: During winter months, 4WD/AWD is strongly recommended. We do our best to have the driveway plowed, but weather can change quickly. If a vehicle becomes stuck, guests are responsible for towing costs.
⚠️ Lost & Found Shipping Policy: If personal items are left behind, we’re happy to arrange return shipping 📦 — a $50 handling fee applies for retrieval and coordination, separate from shipping costs 🚚.
⚠️ Guests are responsible for properly bagging and disposing of all trash in the designated bear box or trash shed before checkout. A $5 per bag disposal fee may apply for any trash left behind.
