If there is snowfall during your stay, we will need you to temporarily move your vehicles so the driveway can be safely plowed.
Here’s how it works:
Our snowplow driver will clear the main driveway first, then the lodge area.
Once the main driveway is finished, we’ll ask you to move your vehicle(s) to the front of the red garage so the lodge driveway can be plowed.
Please keep an eye (and ear!) out for the plow when it arrives.
Our onsite property manager will also send a text when it’s time to move cars.
We truly appreciate your flexibility — it helps keep the property safe and accessible for everyone.

We do our best to ensure everything is in working order, but we are unable to offer refunds for equipment or amenity issues (including internet, appliances, or lake equipment). Please let us know if something needs attention during your stay.
