*Dock/Lake Access: The boat slip is located at the dock just across the street and a short walk down the street (300 ft.). There is a cute little beach area, where the dock is. It`s private and only dock owners and renters may use it. In the summer they put up umbrellas at the picnic tables. Feel free to bring chairs and umbrellas and hangout on the dock. The boat slip is the very last one on the dock so you can jump off and play in the water. PLEASE note, the dock is closest to the open water and the tide can get very rough. Please take the time to safely and securely tie up your boat. We are not responsible for damage in the event that your boat hits the dock.
Also, there is a population of geese that sometimes leave droppings on the dock. A broom should be located at the beginning of the dock to assist you in cleaning up if you wish to spend time at the end of the dock.
*If you want to launch a boat you can do so at the public boat launch for free on the opposite side of the lake or pay a fee at Bass Lake Water Sports (located at the Pines Resort) nearby.
*Please do not try to open locked doors or wonder onto the neighbors property.
* Early checkin and Late check out MUST be arranged in advance and will come with a CHARGE. The Housekeeping company pays their staff by the hour, whether they are cleaning or waiting for guests to leave. In general they charge a fee of $25 per hour to alter the check in or check out time. Ask about mid stay cleans for an extra fee.
*Day visitors are not allowed so every person on the property at any time must be on your reservation. Absolutely no parties!
