7.) VISITORS: We consider The Lake House Guest Cottages to be a place where our guests can enjoy a restful vacation. In order to assure that our guests can enjoy this, we find that a visitor policy is necessary. Visitors are persons visiting registered guests for part of, or all day.

9.) PETS. No pets are allowed during the peak season (April 1st-November 1st). Exceptions may be made for service or support animals with appropriate paperwork. Outside of peak season we will allow pets. There is a $50/night/pet fee with a maximum fee of $250/animal/stay. Additionally you will be responsible for cleaning up after the pet (inside and outside) as well as pay for the cost of any damages that may occur. If there are other guests present during your stay we ask that you keep your pet on a leash when outside your cottage. Please try to keep your pet from urinating on the grass or shrubs as that is harmful to them and we try to keep the grounds looking their best for all of our guests to enjoy..
