Hot tub, private dock and lakefront/beach, fishing boat, canoe, backyard and parking areas.
• The Tenants will pay for Miscellaneous Services including but not limited to: Power sports tours and equipment usage (to be approved by owner/landlord).
• The owner may be present at times during your stay and will be at you service 100 percent in order to make your stay the best possible experience. The tenant may choose to have their total privacy having little to no interaction with the owner, which will be respected by the owner. The house is configured in a way where the 2 upper floors can be sectioned privately from the lower walk out floor. Arrangements can be made to stay in either of these sections and still have a full kitchen/dining area
On the other hand if the tenants decide to interact with the owner, this is totally acceptable as well. We are very friendly and fun loving people. This may include you in owner related activities such as boating, meals, walks, day trips, video’s etc if mutually agreed upon. Your experience here, I would expect to be better than a bed and breakfast. The tenant should communicate to the owner as to their needs prior to, and during their stay. This is an awesome 3000 square foot 3 floor resort home with lots of space for your enjoyment inside and outside.
Miscellaneous Services
The owner also agree to the following services, which have been specifically asked for
by the tenant. Additional fees may be added to the cost of the rental as specified.
