RURAL AREA/ANIMALS: Just like people, all types of animals and bugs also like being near the water. Home and yard are treated by a pest control service on a regular schedule to keep the unwanted visitors to a minimum, to the extent that this is possible. It is not uncommon to spot raccoons, foxes, snakes, frogs, bugs, spiders, stray cats/dogs in all areas around Cedar Creek Lake.

DOGS WELCOME: Those with pet allergies should take into consideration before booking, that even after thorough cleaning, we can not guarantee a 100% absence of pet dander.
EMPTY BOTTLES/DISPENSER: The beverage rack located on the wall next to the pool table and kitchen is primarily for decorative purposes. Please do not attempt to use this for dispensing beverages, or remove any of the empty bottles. You are free to use the wine glasses.
