Notes 🌊 Lake & Community Access Guest passes (wristbands) are required for lake and beach access — $2 per person, per day, paid at the clubhouse.
⚠️ HOA Requirement (Mandatory) All guest names and vehicle license plates (with state) must be submitted at least 48 hours before check-in. Required by the lake association and enforced by private community security.
🚗 Parking & Access Parking is limited to 2–3 vehicles on the very steep driveway. Street parking is not permitted.
In snowy or icy conditions, driving up the driveway and parking on the incline may be difficult. One vehicle can park at the bottom of the driveway. If you plan to park farther up, please consider whether your vehicle can safely handle the incline in the expected conditions. You can see the driveway photo near the end of the gallery.
🔇 Quiet Community This is a quiet residential lake community — no parties or excessive noise, especially at night. Strictly enforced by neighbors and community security.
🛶 Paddleboards Two stand-up paddleboards with gear and life jackets are available to borrow, stored behind the house by the shed (club wristbands required to use). Replacement cost is $379 per board and $50 per life jacket if not fully returned with all parts; guests use at their own risk.
📷 Security Cameras Two exterior security cameras monitor the driveway/entry area and the rear of the home.
🔥 Propane If the grill propane runs out, swap the tank at the Highland general store or Lake Wanda store (e.g., Blue Rhino exchange) and keep your receipt — we'll credit the difference. Tank levels aren't actively monitored, so bring a portable tank if grilling is a priority.
🔌 Wi-Fi Router & Devices The Wi-Fi router, driveway camera, and vape detector must stay plugged in at all times — a mandatory requirement of our homeowner's insurance. If unplugged, we'll ask once to have it plugged back in; after that, a contractor must be dispatched at a $250 service charge.
✅ Damage Protection A $30 non-refundable fee is included in the booking total and covers accidental damage during your stay. This is not a security deposit and does not cover intentional damage, negligence, or house rule violations.

Beautiful cabin!
We really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting.
We ended up at the A-Frame when a twist of fate dropped our reservation the morning we were packing to leave. It really made our weekend! I have to say I'm impressed with how unique, artistic, and clean the house was. Being able to watch birds on the deck in the morning or listen to the rain falling on the roof was a dream. There was a learning curve with the induction stove in the kitchen, and there were a few bug visitors, but that's kind of expected when you're in the woods! The hosts were responsive and friendly, and the the local community has a lot to offer. Fair warning- the driveway is very steep!
