Amenities & Shared Spaces

Entertainment

The living area is set up for easy relaxing after a day on the water. The cabin is simple and intentional - think board games, good conversation, and lake life rather than arcade setups. The real entertainment here is just outside your back door.

Kitchen & Dining

The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for real cooking. You will find a coffee maker, blender, toaster, and mixer alongside a complete set of cookware including saucepans, a frying pan, and a full knife block. Dishes, glasses, mugs, and utensils are provided per guest. A dishwasher, garbage disposal, full refrigerator, stove, and microwave round out everything you need for home-cooked meals and morning coffee with a lake view.

Technology

★ 1 smart TV (32-inch) with streaming capability
★ WiFi provided via Spectrum

Laundry

A full washer and dryer are available in the laundry room downstairs - perfect for longer stays or post-lake rinse days.

Outdoor

The back deck is your launching point for everything. Fire up the propane grill (all burners working, propane tank included, grill mat and cover on-site) and cook dinner while the sun dips behind the tree line. From there, the stairs take you down to the dock where the kayaks and fishing gear are waiting. There is no hot tub or fire pit at this property.

Community Amenities - Dock & Lake Access

This is where Deer Cove really shines. Guests have full access to the private dock and boat lifts during their stay. The following items are included and should be returned to their place before checkout:

- 3 kayaks
- 6 paddles
- 2 fishing poles
- Pool noodles

If you have questions about operating the dock lifts, reach out to the host directly by call or text for guidance. Please be responsible with dock use and report any missing or damaged items promptly.

Quiet hours are observed from 10pm to 8am - neighbors are nearby and this is a quiet residential area.

Check-in is self-guided via a smart lock- no need to wait on anyone or coordinate arrival times. Parking for up to 3 vehicles is available on the paved and gravel driveway. Note that the driveway is steep and narrow, so take it slow on the way in. Four-wheel drive is not required, but mindful driving is appreciated. The host is available by call or text and responsive if questions come up during your stay.
