IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT OUR RESERVATIONS: VRBO lists a daily rate on the calendar, simply by dividing our week rate by 7, but we ONLY have a flat rate of $4,300 for summer months (July is higher). That rate blocks out an entire week for your enjoyment; check-in will be on Saturdays at 4PM and you can check out any day or night afterwards, up to the following Saturday at 11AM. So if you cannot stay the entire week, or maybe some of the people in your group are only able to arrive later or only stay for the weekend, a few days, etc. you are NOT locked in for the entire week. The rental rate for the house, free use of 5 kayaks, 2 canoes, paddle boat, swim platform and dock slide, basically the entire property and ALL of it's included amenities is only $4300, from Saturday at 4PM until the following Saturday at 11AM or any earlier day of your choosing.
