**This listing is for the entire Country Guesthouse exclusively (on the right when driving up). There is a large main lakehouse cabin with huge deck (on the left when driving up) on the property across the driveway that is a rental for 10 as well (ask us about renting it too!).**

**** Other Things to Note ****

• The house and patio are private. The property is shared between the guests of both houses and otherwise on the property.

• THERE IS NO DIRECT ACCESS TO THE LAKE FOR SWIMMING, the property is on a steep decline into the lake, guarded by trees and rocks.

• At times, the lake level is low, but can be seen from the edge of the property.

• The roads once you get off of the 70 highway heading into our property (Truex and Trevor) and all of the properties on them are private, and our neighbors are quite protective about that (you’ll see the signs), so please limit traveling on them slowly to getting in and out of the property only. DO NOT go beyond our driveway (which would be taking a right when leaving the driveway) on Trevor road as this is a private road.

• The refrigerator and freezer will be emptied, but we have a full array of dry seasonings and spices to cook with.

• The water and ice dispenser on the outside of the refrigerator does not work, but the faucet water is safe to drink, and there is ice in the freezer.

• We have a septic system, so there are times that the laundry room has an odor when it is unused. Doing laundry in the washing machine and taking showers helps eliminate it.

• Specifically for large towels, we provide one large towel per person, so 6 total for 6 guests, in order to reduce cleaning costs.

• We have portable AC/Heat units in the bedrooms (which can be a bit on the louder side), space heaters in the bedrooms and bathroom, a window AC unit and portable AC unit in the living room, a furnace in the living room, and a faux-fireplace in the entertainment center in the living room.

• We have 1 TV setup on guest mode, which you can log into any of your streaming subscriptions.

• We have four security cameras on-site, all are outside. One each faces the front of each house, and the other two are near the “Store” monitoring the backyard. They are on, but only trigger by extreme motion, such as cars driving through.

• While our property is very fun and offers lots of adventures, please be advised that there are dangerous elements such as steep slopes, play structures, high structures without railings, poisonous plants, poisonous/dangerous wildlife, holes, tall trees with brittle branches, rope swings, zip-lines, wildfire risks, mudslide risks, and many other dangerous or potentially deadly elements out of our control. You and your guests are at your own risks with no liability to the owners when you book our property.

• If you need to have mail sent to the property during your stay, send it via UPS or Fedex so that it is delivered to the front door. DO NOT SEND VIA THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS), since the mailbox is not accessible since it is a vacation property.

• For the Recycling Bin in front of the house, ONLY put empty cans, glass bottles, or plastic bottles in them. NO TRASH.

**** Guest Access ****

The house is located about 30 minutes southeast of Chico off of highway 70. There is about 0.5 miles of a non-lighted, gravel road leading to the driveway that can be easily navigated by all types of cars. The property offers plenty of space for parking several vehicles, including oversized vehicles such as RVs.

The house is equipped with a smart lock to allow hassle free check-in and easy access for all guests.

The roads once you get off of the 70 highway heading into our property (Truex and Trevor) and all of the properties on them are private, and our neighbors are quite protective about that (you’ll see the signs), so please limit traveling on them to getting in and out of the property only.

Please travel very slowly on the unpaved portion of the road leading up to our driveway.

Quiet and comfortable

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. It was nice, clean and had everything you could want. Beds were comfortable, living space was cozy. Since we were here for Chico graduation it wasn’t too far away. We did see lots of deer, that was fun.
