Travel tips
Bring your own towels for lake and pool use since only bath towels are provided at the house. Parking at the house is limited to two cars, so groups with a boat trailer or extra vehicles should plan to use the overflow parking on the grass shoulder of Cheyenne Lane, as diagrammed in the on-site guest book. Note the quiet hours from 10pm to 8am and the 9-guest occupancy limit when planning your stay.
