Misc.:
- Please do not bring any ORV’s as this is a quiet lake & we don’t want to disturb the neighbors.

- Pets need to be cleaned up after, all waste from animals cleaned up from yard - PLEASE BE VERY DILIGENT IN THIS. Please do not allow them to dig and THEY NEED TO BE KEPT OFF THE FURNITURE, in consideration of other guests with allergies.

When you leave, please clean the floors, kitchen (including stove & microwave oven) & bath for the next group, this allows us to keep the rent low by not having to hire someone to clean. Please make sure the yard is clean and you haven’t forgotten any items you brought with you.

Please make absolutely sure you clean out the refrigerator. This includes all condiments and leftovers, the next group may not appreciate that you left something for them. There is no trash pick-up so you will need to take it all with you. For a fee, the Sunoco gas station in Engadine (M117, one mile north of US 2) will let you use their dumpster. Please be sure that all lights and fans are off, lock all exterior doors, hang the key on the deer thermostat’s antlers, and DO NOT lock the dead bolt. Thank you.
