Please contact the host for any questions! Whole house - all but the two car garage and boiler room. You can always message myself the owner of the house however, we do have a property manager who is on the lake. Please feel free to reach out if you are missing something or have any questions. This neighborhood is off the beaten path. The House is located on Opal Lake - one of the clearest most stunning lakes in Otsego County. Our Neighbors are helpful and friendly but we also respect their time and serenity near the lake as well - and will keep the noise down after 9pm. Lake isn't huge so driving your boat or jet skis at an appropriate speed and distance from others and shore is imperative. The Lake is a small lake appropriate for Pontoon Boats, jet skis and some Ski boats up to approximately 20/22ft. We are already taking requests for the Summer of 2024. July and August We will be doing weekly rentals- Saturday to Saturday. We have parking for 6-7 cars in our driveway. We have neighbors who use golf carts, side by sides, bikes, and of course walking for some exercise. We do not provide these but have had guests bring them on vacation with them!! This house is quite large and certain levels will run more hot or cold then others! We believe you should always be comfortable but know the system reads off the main level so the basement is usually a few degrees cooler and the upstairs a bit warmer!! Luckily the house is also full of windows to help mediate anyone's personal temperature preference!!!
