Other Things to Note:
UTILITIES: For reservations of 28 nights or longer, a non-refundable utilities fee is required and is due prior to check-in. This fee helps cover electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, trash, and other utility-related operating costs.
The utilities fee is based on seasonal usage and property size and ranges from $35–$55 per day (excluding pool and spa heating). The exact amount will be determined based on the season and length of stay. If you would like to add unlimited pool and/or spa heating for the duration of your stay, the additional utility fees are: Pool Heating: $59 per day Spa Heating: $39 per day
On-Demand Heating: For guests who only wish to use the pool or spa occasionally, on-demand heating may be available upon request and is subject to availability. Please contact us in advance to arrange heating.
Pool & Spa Heating Options (SHORT TERM STAYS): All pool and spa heating requests must be arranged and paid prior to use and are subject to availability and scheduling. The pool/spa heating fee is non-refundable, as we have to schedule and activate the heating system in advance.
Pool Heating: $150 per day Minimum: 3 days Guests who choose pool heating will also receive spa heating at no additional charge. Please note that the pool requires approximately one full day to heat, so heating requests must be made in advance to ensure the pool is ready for your arrival.
Spa Heating Only (On-Demand): $55 per session Each session includes up to 4 consecutive hours of spa heating.
Please Note: Our pool is professionally cleaned and serviced on a regular schedule. Because it is an outdoor pool, it is normal for a few leaves or small debris to fall into the water between cleanings, especially during windy weather. This does not mean the pool is dirty. We do our best to keep it in excellent condition so you can enjoy your stay.
BBQ: The home is equipped with a BBQ grill and propane tank(s). We provide the tanks, but they may need to be refilled during your stay. If you'd like our team to deliver and install a full propane tank, the fee is $69 per tank. Please let us know before your arrival if you'd like us to arrange this. Alternatively, you are welcome to refill the tank yourself at a nearby propane refill station or exchange location, paying only the cost of the propane.
Pets: This home is pet friendly and there is a $250 pet cleaning fee. This fee is per pet.
Outdoor Bugs It’s normal to occasionally see bugs outdoors, especially during warmer months. We have regular pest control service, but to help prevent bugs from entering the home, please keep doors and windows closed when not in use.
Mobility ramps are available for step-free access free of charge. Please let us know if you will be needing them prior to your arrival.
Important Note for Late or Last-Minute Bookings: Thank you for your reservation! Please note that for bookings made after 4 PM or for same-day arrivals, we may not always have time to fully refresh the property before your check-in, depending on the timing of your reservation. If you notice anything that needs attention upon arrival, please don’t hesitate to message us — we’re happy to send someone out the next day to take care of it. Your comfort is our priority, and we’ll do our best to ensure you have a great stay.

Nice ambience and convenient location.
Our family found this home roomy and comfortable. It had everything we needed including outdoor patio furniture and bbq, comfortable beds, and a lake and park close by. My partner and I especially enjoyed the jacuzzi tub for destressing. I highly recommend Archwood Manor and definitely plan to stay there in the future.

Beautiful home with plenty of stocked items for a great stay.
All rooms were very spacious, 3 full bathrooms with plenty of towels for showering. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and appliances. We cooked in the home many times. Katy was easy to get a hold of if needed. The garage was a plus. Enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend .
We rented this property for a mother/daughter Girl Scout trip and we could not have been more pleased with it! The layout was great and the kitchen was perfect for preparing meals for a large group. Plenty of enough kitchen essentials too! The hot tub was a bonus after a long day of sightseeing . The location was central to so many things attractions including a the local Costco. Another major bonus was the number of towels! I would definitely rent this property again.
