There is plenty of safe off street parking outside the house. Other things to note This is a much loved family home, so please keep this in mind when booking and be respectful of this when staying. The house is located in a quiet residential area, with permanent neighbours. We have a strict no party policy in place and quiet hours are between 10pm-7am. As the property has unfenced access to the lake, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water. Because this house is beside the lake, during warm months there may be insects drawn to the house lights in the evenings. Guests are advised to close windows after dusk. Book your stay and experience the perfect mix of lakeside relaxation and outdoor adventure!
