Gorgeous Lake Home with Hot Tub - by MOA and MSP

Summary:
Your 5,000 sq.ft. executive home on 2 acres awaits. Relax in the 7-person hot tub. Take in lake views from the deck. Warm up by your choice of 3 fireplaces or build your fire outdoors at the lakeside fire-pit patio. Explore the lake in the canoe and kayaks provided. There is a 30 person maximum and tons of space for all your guests to enjoy.

Please read over ALL my house rules before booking my home by going to the House Rules section; below you will find the most important notes that I want to make you aware of. After 10 years of being a dedicated host, I have learned the following rules are 100% necessary. The general idea behind my rules is, "respect my neighbors, no rowdy parties, no noise after 10pm...this is a nice, quiet neighborhood...there will be serious consequences to ignoring my house rules so book elsewhere if you don't trust your group to follow rules." That's the general idea. Friend groups that are gathering for birthday, bachelor, or bachelorette parties will be accepted on a case by case basis. I am only able to rent to respectful groups who follow rules. If your group is planning to do a lot of binge drinking and partying with loud music, please find another location. This neighborhood is a family-friendly environment and I want to keep it that way. A $1,500 security deposit is required for all groups renting this home to enforce our 4 house rules.

The Space:

I have everything you need here: clean linens, towels, washcloths, and some basic kitchen items like olive oil, salt, pepper, flour and sugar. I supply a Ninja drip coffee maker (with filter), a French press, a Keurig coffee maker (with reusable pods) and Folgers coffee is supplied.

There is direct access to the lake via 10 stairs that lead from the backyard to the lakeshore. There are 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, a canoe, paddles, and life jackets available for your use. The lake and surrounding area is teeming with wildlife including tree frogs, turtles, fish, a variety of bird species (eagles, blue jays, cardinals, woodpeckers). You may even see one of the resident bald eagles!

Guest Access:
You will turn off 70th street to come down a wooded, winding driveway. There are 2 double garages available for you to park up to 4 cars, with additional parking available in the driveway for up to 10 more cars if you get creative.
There is a keypad code for the garages that is provided upon booking. The whole house and surrounding wooded areas are yours to explore and enjoy.

A $1,500 security deposit is required for all groups renting this home to enforce the house rules:

HOUSE RULES:
1) Quiet Hours: 10pm to 8AM which means no outdoor socializing. My neighbors are VERY IMPORTANT to me and I have a zero tolerance policy on this rule. All outdoor socializing, must conclude by 10pm. No exceptions to this rule. If voices or music is audible to the noise monitoring devices during quiet hours, there will be a fine taken from your security deposit. VRBO's Community Disturbance Policy prohibits disruptive gatherings and other actions that disturb the surrounding community, including excessive noise at any time of day. A noise-monitoring system is present at the house. After 10pm, all talking must be at a hushed volume and not be audible to the outdoor security cameras. As you expect peace and quiet at your home when you are there, please extend the same courtesy to my neighbors so that I can continue to offer this great home to others such as yourselves.

2) HOT TUB
The hot tub is available from 8 AM to 10 PM. During quiet hours (10pm to 8am), we allow up to 2 people maximum but they must be inaudible to noise monitoring devices. As a reminder, using only hushed library level voices after 10pm. The same quiet hours apply in the hot tub.
• All kids must be supervised by an adult when using the hot tub. Kids under 10 years old are not allowed in the hot tub.
• No glass allowed in or near the hot tub. No smoking in the hot tub as debris/ash causes damage to the hot tub components.
• Use at your own risk.

3) No smoking of any kind in the house or garage (smoking on the deck is allowed as long as all doors and windows are shut). If I find any evidence that smoking took place in the house, the fee is $1500 plus the cost to remove smoke damage.

4) Guest list must be provided 2 weeks before your stay must match your actual guests. Guests over what you selected when making your reservation are $30 per person per day extra. To prevent any miscommunication, a "guest" is defined as anyone that sets foots on the property during your stay (only exceptions are Uber/Lyft drivers and delivery people). Please send first and last names in the message thread. Please understand an open guest list party is NOT ALLOWED and will result in an immediate cancellation of your reservation and any guests over the amount listed when booking will be charged at $30/guest/day. Day guests and night guests are counted the same for fee purposes. Maximum 20 guests allowed on the property at a time.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
I request a security deposit of $1500 to ensure the 4 house rules are followed. There will be deductions if the rules are not followed. While I prefer not to impose such measures, past experiences have highlighted the importance of these steps in maintaining the quality of our accommodations and fostering goodwill with our neighbors. Your cooperation and understanding are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your cooperation.

Through VRBO, the security deposit is not a charge, just a hold. It is automatically held on the first day of your stay and will show up as a pending charge on your bank statement and is released 48hrs after your stay as long as the house rules are followed.

Interaction with Guests:
