Our home receives regular pest control service and professional cleanings between guest stays. Because the property is located in a rural, wooded lakeside setting, the occasional insect may still find its way indoors despite these efforts. By booking, guests acknowledge that occasional sightings are possible and are not considered a cleanliness or maintenance issue. To keep the property well maintained, we have a lawn service scheduled every other Friday or Saturday. There may be times when this overlaps with your stay. The landscaper typically stops by briefly (usually under an hour) to mow and take care of basic upkeep. We appreciate your understanding as we work to keep the outdoor spaces looking their best for all guests.
