We understand accidents happen, we want to ensure we can fix it/replace it for you during your stay or before your next visit with us. (No matter big or small- wine glass, toilet seat, TV) • If you love it, leave it! Please do not indulge in stealing any artifacts from the home, including but not limited to kitchen supplies, wall art, pillows, blankets, games, etc.. carry out only what you carried in. • Use it/play with it and then put it back where you found it! Please be mindful of where you take items from to use/play with and return them to their place. Keeping the house organized ensures your stay and everyones has the same wonderful qualities. • We provide some items to get your stay started: soaps, paper products and trash bags. If you run out of anything, there are multiple stores to purchase more nearby: ArrowHead Market, Walmart & The Dollar General is just down the road and has a surprisingly well stocked mini-grocery/pharmacy store. • It is very common to see wildlife on the property. Deer, Turkeys, ducks, squirrels, rabbits, etc. Additionally, the area is known for having bears and they love to rummage through trash and may be attracted to food left outside. There are appropriate bear boxes (wooden) provided with two 60 gallon trash cans. Failure to keep trash secured in the bear boxes or proper clean up of gas grills may result in a hungry black bear visit. •Trash is picked up on Wednesdays. (There is no recycling) • If there is a mess of the trash, due to not utilizing the bear boxes appropriately, please clean up the mess otherwise you will incur additional cleaning fees. • Ensure grills are cleaned and covered after each use. • The winter months at the lake are filled with snow (yay!) but also may bring sleet and ice. Check the weather reports ahead of arrival. • All Wheel-Drive vehicles are highly recommended in the winter months to access the home. • Please leave all outdoor equipment (skis, boards, boots, sleds, snowshoes, etc..) outside the house. There is a provide rack on the front porch. • There are a few rubber shoe storage mats in the coat closet to avoid trekking snow, salt, mud throughout the house. Security: • Wisp'd Away is outfitted with Ring security cameras and motion detecting lights all along the outside perimeter of the house and driveway. Our 2 strictest policies: 1.
