Good Neighboring
These cottages are snuggled close together and share lake frontage and beach access. Please also note that we are located close to full-time residences of Thayer Lake. Our property lines are marked, and we ask that guests respect those boundaries as a courtesy to our neighbors.
Many of our guests enjoy the quiet solitude that our cottages provide, so we ask that noise be kept at a reasonable level at all times. Quiet hours are 9PM-9AM. If you'd like to invite additional visitors, please get approval with your hosts ahead of time. Absolutely no large groups or parties.
Pets
Our only pet-friendly cottage is the Pine. If you booked the Pine Cottage and plan on bringing a pet, please get approval with your host ahead of time. Please note that there is an additional $50 pet fee.
Guests are also responsible for cleaning up their pets waste and disposing of it appropriately.
No pets are allowed in any of our other cottages at any time.
Firepits
There is one firepit for each cottage. After use, please extinguish any remaining fire, and never leave a fire unattended.
