Outdoor Property

The deck is for your use; we strongly advise you to close the screens EVERY TIME you step outside or inside (even for a few seconds). It will keep insects and bees out of the house. You're in nature, there are bugs, and if you let them in, they will!

Take care when walking down the stairs or on the dock. It can be slick during the winter.. The dock is usually in place between Memorial Day and the last week of November; for the rest of the year, we must remove it.

During the summer days you can enjoy the lake's clear, crisp water. You can swim, kayak, fish (if you have a New York license), or simply take a dip in the water.

The green kayaks are yours to use. The outside box contains a safety water suit (lock is 2255). It is critical that you use them while kayaking or if you are not a good swimmer. Not wearing them is putting your own safety at risk.

Dock

During the Autumn season, our trees will shed all of their leaves. We clean our property every two weeks, but you may notice leaves on the grass and on our balcony even after it has been cleaned. If you want to use it, we have a leaf blower. Please contact us for further information.

Leaves

We have such a magical outdoor patio under the vibe and our strings light. We highly recommend to eat outside when the weather permits.
Just remember if you have kids with you:

To lock both gates. The dock gate that leads to the water and the main gate to keep them safe from the road.

Outdoor Patio

You are free to use the BBQ whenever you want and as long as the weather permits, please ensure that you understand how to use a propane tank.

  1. Once finished, turn off the tank's valve.

  2. Please clean the grill and store it for future use.

  3. Make sure the grill has cooled before covering it.

  4. Never leave the grill turned on and unattended. It has the potential to start a fire.

  5. It is possible if the propane tank is emptied. Please notify us so that we can swap it for you or the next guest. We usually keep an extra in the garage.

The seasons change even more dramatically in nature. Leaves will fall and remain on the ground; branches may fall; and snow may accumulate. Please be aware of it and proceed with caution.
There are a lot of wandering deers in our area. They are magnificent creatures, and they may wander onto our property. Please do not frighten them; they will leave quietly.
