**Other Things to note **
IF YOUR STAY IS CANCELLED DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER OR IF THE CABIN IS NOT ACCESSIBLE DUE TO HEAVY SNOW, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU 24 HOURS BEFORE CHECKING IN TO RESCHEDULE YOUR STAY OR ISSUE YOU A REFUND.
Lake access to guests will be from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. To utilize the private lake, we require a signed document agreeing to the rules of the lake by the Association. We can either email or mail it to you whichever is most convenient. The signed document needs to be returned to us before your reservation. If we receive a complaint or are notified of inappropriate misuse of the lake, your security deposit will be forfeited.
Ac unit provided Memorial Day through Labor Day.
We do have a landline available at the cabin to utilize for local calling.
We have provided two shovels at the property one By the front door and the other by the back door. If you were at the property during a snowstorm you would utilize the shovel to shovel off the deck.
Parking
We have a flat gravel driveway that you could park two average-sized vehicles on. In the winter months if it is snowing you will be required to park on the driveway and not the road. This is to ensure that the snowplow vehicles can plow the road daily around 3 PM. This might require shoveling snow on the driveway to access a parking spot. We want to make sure you don't receive a hefty ticket from the city.
In the winter months, we provide a hand full of fire starter sticks to help start a fire in the woodstove. If you are not familiar with making a fire we recommend that you bring up extra kindling. That could be fire starter sticks, old magazines, or newspapers. We do not provide firewood. There are several markets and gas stations that sell bundles of wood close to the cabin.
**House Rules **
The Sweet Retreat is a sanctuary for couples, small families, and professionals seeking relaxation in a peaceful environment, we strictly do not allow more than 6 guests to spend the night. The Sweet Retreat comfortably accommodates up to 4 adults with 2 small children. WE DO NOT recommend a group of 6 adults due to the cozy size of the cabin and one bathroom. We have made exceptions to this rule with prior arrangements.
Memorial Day Weekend, Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving weekend, and the last two weeks of December starting at $239.00
Please treat our home as you would your own.
In the winter snow months, you will need 4 wheel drive and carry chairs.
All trash should be in the garbage can with a lid to ensure that animals (BEARS) do not rummage through it to find food. The bear proof trash can is located in our gravel driveway near the road.
Our cabin has a septic tank. PLEASE ONLY TOLIET PAPER FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET. Please no feminine products or baby wipes flushed. Our septic tank thanks you!
Please strip all beds of sheets and towels and place them by the bathroom for housekeeping.
Please remove your shoes before entering the cabin. The area can be wet and muddy and the carpets are easily stained.
To conserve energy In the winter, please utilize the wood-burning stove. If you are not sure how to operate the stove, We can guide you.
No fires in the fire pit and wood stove in high fire season. Outside fires only designated fire pit area. A bucket of water needs to smother fire nightly to avoid the chance of spreading a fire within the community. All small warming fires need to be approved by owner first. Thank you!
Please keep in mind that we have neighbors that live here full time. The noise ordinance for this county is 10 pm. Please be respectful. Also, please no sledding on our neighbor's property. Our property is okay :).
Pets are to be approved first and a fee. We only accept small dogs pets. Two dogs max. Thank you.
