Our team is available 24/7 to assist you during your stay. Simply reach out to us via Airbnb.
The neighborhood is very friendly--our neighbors are aware of the property being Airbnb and are excited to have visitors in the area.
I`d recommend having a vehicle with you, but there is also Uber and Lyft available. As well as Instacart, which allows you to spend more time at the house than at the grocery store.
PETS
Pets are welcomed at a $75/per pet, per stay.
PONTOON
The pontoon rental is $200 per day. If you wish to rent the pontoon, we will send a request for the rental amount and a rental contract after booking. The pontoon boat is available for rent from Memorial Day weekend (last weekend of May) til October 1st, weather-permitting.

We run last minute bookings, midweek specials and long stay discounts. Please inquire for more information.
