OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:

NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION: New home construction is active in the community. Some noise from construction is possible between 7 am and 5 pm. At the time of this update, there are no active builds occurring very close to this home, but future guest should be aware of this anyways, in case that changes.

INTERNET: Internet service provided by Starlink and cable TV Services by Dish Network. Both services are satellite providers and could potentially experience interruptions in severe weather.

PET OWNERS: Please take note that the fencing surrounding the home is a little high off the ground in some spots and may leave room for some smaller pets to find an escape route. Guests with smaller breeds should plan accordingly to ensure their pet stays within the yard, or on a leash if needed.

RURAL AREA/ANIMALS: Just like people, all types of animals and bugs also like being near the water. Home and yard are treated by a pest control service on a regular schedule to keep the unwanted visitors to a minimum, to the extent that this is possible. It is not uncommon to spot raccoons, foxes, snakes, frogs, bugs, spiders, stray cats/dogs in all areas around Cedar Creek Lake.

GARAGE GAME ROOM: Air Conditioning and Heating are NOT provided for the garage area. The temperature in this area of the home will be totally dependent upon the weather.

DOGS WELCOME: Those with pet allergies should take into consideration before booking, that even after thorough cleaning, we can not guarantee a 100% absence of pet dander.

EMPTY BOTTLES/DISPENSER: The beverage rack located on the wall next to the pool table and kitchen is primarily for decorative purposes. Please do not attempt to use this for dispensing beverages, or remove any of the empty bottles. You are free to use the wine glasses.

Fathers Day

Great time and everything was fun. Needs just a small update to the games to be sure the darts are maintained and games are ready to play. But we had an absolute blast. Thank you for hosting us!
