Graham & Krista were easy to communicate with and accommodated our requests and questions. The community is quiet and all of the amenities are easy to get it to.

• These fees will billed separately after we complete your registration. Fees are charged separately as the VRBO platform currently cannot calculate number of vehicles and number of guests over age 6. Fees must be paid prior to check in. Fees are as follows:
--PEAK SEASON (May 24-Sep 2): Registration fee $20 PLUS $8.50 per person per day (over age 6) PLUS $20 per each vehicle for gate cards

• NATURE-Y THINGS • The chalet is located in a very rural, wooded setting. You may encounter wild animals (mostly deer), spiders, flying insects and more critters.
• BURN BANS • the community may issue burn bans where firepits cannot be lit due to increased risk of wildfires (but you can use the BBQ gas grill). There is a $500 fine if you light a firepit during a burn ban.
• LAKE & POOL CLOSURES • Every once in a while, the community may issue a lake closure (usually after days of heavy rains) due to elevated bacteria levels. We have no control over lake and pool closures and cannot issue a refund if not available for use.
