For everyone's comfort, dogs must stay leashed outdoors, and waste must be cleaned up promptly. Please note that cats are not permitted due to allergy concerns. Any pet-related damages may result in additional charges.



Long Bow Lake: This property has private access to Long Bow lake. While we openly advertise the lake access feature, please mind that:

- There is no life guard on duty at the lake.

- We have no control over the quality of the water at any given time, and the Sherwood Green Association may deem it necessary to limit access to the lake if the testing results require so, without prior notice.

- While we do not prohibit ice-fishing in the lake during the winter months, we definitely do not encourage it for safety reasons! Please assess any risks and consider your group's safety before ice-fishing at the lake.



Maximum occupancy: Please mind that this house can host a maximum of 6 guests per fire code. As per the fire department, infants are included in that number. Therefore, any infants included in the booking above maximum occupancy of 6 would unfortunately result in the reservation being cancelled.



Cancellation Policy: We cannot make any exceptions to our cancellation policy. Please consider traveler’s insurance.
