- We have a SEPTIC system. Guests are NOT to flush anything other than toilet paper. Our policy is "You flush it, You fish it" : ) - Fireplaces are for decorative purpose only! Guests are not permitted to start fires. - There is a boat ramp and Jet Ski on the property - these are not for guest use. -The Paddleboat and Kayaks are available for guest use with a $250 deposit that will be refunded upon checkout. Unfortunately some guests have not returned the equipment or left in water or out in elements. Please see the Welcome Guide for info on use. Jacuzzi is NOT a listed amenity for the following reason-We do allow use with restrictions: Please see posted rules in House Manual. Use is limited to 4 hours daily. Please message within the ABB to request times. We do this since it is heated with gas and is cost prohibitive to run constantly. Unfortunately, a few have ruined it for the many and we must conserve energy. Dock: The owner keeps a jet ski for their personal use on site. It is not to be used or touched by guests, NO EXCEPTIONS.
