Your Vrbo hosts are native to the Park Rapids Area and would love to answer ANY and ALL questions you have. Please feel free to ask!
We ask that you respect our neighbors and park/stay on our property only. Noise levels need to be low, especially at night and no outside music past dark. Sound travels across the water and is much louder than you would think. If a noise violation occurs and/or law enforcement is called you will be requested to leave with no refund.
No pets. No smoking. Fires must stay in the rings. Broken glass found in the yard, lake, or shoreline will result in loss of damage deposit. Consider using plastic or aluminum. We want everyone to enjoy this property, respect our environment and their special time at the lake. Please leave the property in the condition it was found in.
Water conservation must be practiced. This includes practices like: limited showers (10 mins.), don't leave water running when doing dishes, brushing teeth, etc. This is good for the environment and needed at this property to keep the small rural septic system operating as it should. The septic system is a lift system. Flushing anything other than toilet paper will cause damage. If damage occurs due to flushing wipes, feminine products, or anything else you will need to pay for the repair.
