Everything you need while you’re here.

• Enter the community only from Route 309. The Honey Hole Road / Silverleaf back entrance is not accessible to guests.
• Parking is limited to a maximum of 6 vehicles.
• The main entrance uses a smart keypad. Your individual door code is provided privately before arrival.
• Once inside, the button on the interior side of the smart lock can disable auto-lock for the rest of the day if you prefer not to re-enter the code each time.

• The Wi-Fi network name and password are provided privately in your arrival information and are also available inside the home.
• All TVs are smart TVs connected to the house Wi-Fi.
• Major streaming apps should already be available; sign in with your own accounts as needed and remember to sign out before departure.

The home has several heat sources, so a small adjustment in one area can affect the temperature elsewhere.

• The main thermostat is on the kitchen wall and controls the central heat and air conditioning.
• Do not leave windows or exterior doors open while the heat or air conditioning is running.
• The great-room propane fireplace has its own wall thermostat to the right of the fireplace. Turn that thermostat off when you do not want the fireplace running and before checkout.
• If the fireplace pilot is out, printed relighting instructions are located at the hearth. If you are uncomfortable relighting it, contact us rather than forcing the controls.
• The lower-level king suite has a separate propane stove controlled by the thermostat near the sliding doors. It produces substantial heat, so adjust gradually.
• The main game room has an electric fireplace with controls along its upper edge.
• The garage game room has a baseboard heater controlled directly on the unit.

The hot tub is available year-round and sits under the covered lower deck facing the lake.

• Open the cover from the lake side, folding it toward the house over the cover-assist bar. Use the assist bar to fold the cover fully back.
• For use, set the temperature to about 100°F and allow time for the water to warm. Jets and lights are available from the control panel.
• Always replace the cover fully when the tub is not in use so the water does not rapidly lose heat.
• Maximum occupancy is 5 people. Exceeding that limit can spill enough water to expose pumps and filters and damage the tub.
• Shower with soap before entering—especially after swimming in the lake—to remove body oils and contaminants.
• No glass, food, or drinks are permitted in or around the hot tub. No diving or horseplay.
• Children under 8 may not use the hot tub. Children 8 and older must be continuously supervised by a competent adult.
• Do not use the hot tub while intoxicated or when a medical condition makes hot-tub use unsafe. Keep electrical devices at least 15 feet away.
• A maximum soak of about 20 minutes at a time is recommended.
• Report any malfunction or excessive water loss immediately and discontinue use until the issue is resolved.

• Children near the lake must be supervised by an adult at all times.
• Do not jump from the private dock—the water is extremely shallow near shore.
• Swimming is permitted, but lake depth varies. Use caution and stop all water activities during electrical storms or other hazardous conditions.
• Guests age 16 and older need a valid Pennsylvania fishing license to fish. The lake is catch-and-release.
• Personal watercraft may not be brought onto the lake; community registration and permitting rules apply to all boats.
• Every occupant of a watercraft must have an appropriately sized U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket or flotation device.
• Minimum age to operate watercraft is 16 unless accompanied by an adult.
• Watercraft use is limited to daylight hours. Secure unattended watercraft near shore when not in use.
• Keep clear of private docks, marked swimming areas, islands, shorelines, and other restricted areas as required by community rules.
• Turtle Cove is a beautiful natural area at the northwest end of the lake and is accessible only by canoe or kayak. It is farther away than it appears, so pace yourself.

The electric pontoon is a separate seasonal rental and requires its own agreement and waiver before use.

• The designated driver must be at least 25 and may not operate the boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• All occupants must wear appropriately fitting life jackets.
• Before departure, disconnect the dock tethers and confirm the batteries are charged.
• The motor is electric. Keep it plugged in when not in use and begin returning to the house before the battery indicator reaches 30%.
• The lake is very shallow near the dock, shorelines, and islands. Keep the rotor only barely submerged until you are well away from shore, and raise it again before returning.
• Avoid all marked rocks/boulders and stay well clear of the spillway and dam.
• Keep at least 150 feet from shorelines while operating the pontoon and at least 100 feet from the islands.
• Do not take the pontoon into Turtle Cove. It is too shallow and entry will result in grounding and likely motor damage.
• Clubhouse boat slips are private and may not be used.
• The pontoon may be used only from dawn to dusk.
• When you return, secure the boat to the dock with the tethers and reconnect the charger.

• Fire-pit fires must be attended at all times and fully extinguished when finished.
• Do not use the fire pit during drought, high winds, or other unsafe conditions. Never burn trash.
• Closely supervise children around the fire pit. Firewood left at the property is available for guest use; please use a reasonable amount.
• Propane grills and grilling tools are provided. If a propane tank unexpectedly runs out, contact us; a nearby Dollar General on Route 309 can exchange tanks.
• The grill igniters can be unreliable, so provided grill lighters may be easier to use.
• Take particular care with grease, hot ash, and grill equipment on the composite decks—the decking can melt from heat or ash.
• Smoking is prohibited inside the house and on both levels of the deck.

• The lodge-style game room includes pool and foosball; the heated garage game room includes ping-pong.
• Pool-table use is for adults and guests age 12+; younger guests must be closely supervised.
• No food or drinks on the pool table, and please do not sit or stand on it.
• Use only pool cues with intact tips; damaged tips can tear or mark the table felt.
• Several wall switches are intentionally covered so that lighting continues to work from the preferred control location. Please do not operate covered switches.

• There is no garbage disposal. Keep the sink drain-stops in place and put food waste in the trash.
• We provide a stay-appropriate starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, hand soap, dish soap, and similar essentials.
• Full-size bath towels and hand towels are provided for guests, along with linens based on the reservation guest count.
• Linens, blankets, and pillows for the great-room queen sleeper sofa are stored in the nearby chest next to the sectional.
• Linens, blankets, and pillows for the garage-game-room queen futon are stored in the chest in the main game room.
• Complimentary coffee is stocked based on the number of adults in the reservation.
• Baby/toddler accessories such as a baby gate and high chair are stored in the closet of the main-floor queen suite.

• Four trash cans are inside the shed across the driveway. Please place bagged trash there during your stay and keep the shed doors secured.
• Trash is collected very early Friday morning. Our team handles moving the cans to and from the street.
• Keep exterior doors and windows closed when practical and never leave food or food waste outside. Bears, raccoons, and other wildlife are common in the area.
• Do not feed wildlife, including geese, ducks, or the resident swans.
