Given the rural setting of the property, occasional sightings of ants, spiders, flying insects, and mice may occur despite our year-round pest control efforts. We strive to manage these encounters to the best of our ability, but cannot guarantee that the house will be completely pest free.

There is potential for occasional noise from trains that run along the property at the edge of the lake.

When drought, weather or other conditions present an unusual fire risk, a burn ban may be imposed by the community without prior notice.
