Thank you!!13 reasons this might NOT be the right vacation home for you. PLEASE READ before booking.1. You’re looking for a party house. . . or your group is rowdy and won’t be able to respect our neighbors. This is a quiet setting (equipped with a decibel-monitoring system to ensure compliance!), as we love our neighbors and the peace of the area. For guests to stay here, it’s important they agree to help maintain the peace of the area. NO MUSIC OUTSIDE the home, and no disruptive or loud noise (shouting, singing, partying, etc.) at any time of the day. Any music inside the house MUST NOT be audible outside the house. Each booking is subject to a $500 noise deposit, refundable if noise rules and neighbors are respected.2. Your group won’t be able to respect property lines. ABSOLUTELY NO TRESPASSING outside the property onto our neighbor’s properties.3. The sixth bedroom and bathroom are in the basement. There’s an egress window and quite a bit of natural light; however, no lake views. (Most other rooms do have lake views!)4. In the summer, the ground by the lake can become a bit soggy. This occurs for a variety of reasons, but we can’t control it unfortunately.5. Due to the on-demand hot water heater, occasional variation in water temperatures during showers can occur.6. Steps to the lake and seasonal lake access closures. Approximately 50 steps down to the water. Additionally, due to safety concerns, the lower level lake access is closed from approximately November-March.7. Swimming requires use of a ladder off the dock–no ability to walk into the water.8. The upstairs rooms share one small full bathroom (for room with Cali King and crib, room with two queens and two singles, common space with two queens). The bathroom is off the common space. Main floor has two full bathrooms, which is a bit disproportionate to the distribution of beds.9. No garage.10. Narrow (but long) lot. ABSOLUTELY NO TRESPASSING onto our neighbors’ properties!11. Surrounding area has only a few local restaurants and convenience stores. More restaurants and commercial attractions are nearby in Whitehall, North Muskegon, and Muskegon, but there’s a limited offering within 15 minutes.12. We do not provide firewood, but it is sold locally.13.
