A few more tid-bits...  :)
1.  We are pet-friendly!  We know what it's like to have dogs that are part of the family, so we welcome well-behaved, fully housebroken dogs (limit 2). All dogs will need to be registered on the Lake Gaston Vacation Rentals site, and they must be supervised at all times or in a crate if home alone. Please respect our home by keeping the dogs off of the furniture, inside and outside.  It is the owner's responsibility to clean up any pet waste. There is a non-refundable pet fee of $250.  No cats please. 

2.  The house, like 99% of all lake homes on Lake Gaston, uses a septic system.  This system is a finely balanced biological system.  Please help us keep it working flawlessly by flushing ONLY toilet paper.  Renters are responsible for any damage caused by misuse.

3.  Bow-Riders and deep draft Wake Board boats need to check their Hummingbirds/Garmins to ensure adequate depth in all coves.  Pontoons should have no issues and everyone is welcome to tie off at the dock with rental boat.(make sure to bring your bumpers!).

4.  Culverts & Bridges:  Be sure to lower your bimini top when going under bridges or through culverts.  Appearances can be deceiving!

5. Security Camera Disclosure:  We take your privacy very seriously.  However, this home may be monitored by exterior security cameras.  The cameras do not record sound.  Please let us know if this is an issue with your party for any reason.

6.  There is absolutely no smoking on the property.  This is a heavily wooded area with lots of things that can catch fire.  If there is ANY evidence of smoking, you will be asked to leave and will not receive a refund.  Please keep vaping to oustide only; no vaping inside the home.

7.  Trash day is Tuesday.  Please bag all trash and place it in the outdoor receptacles for pickup. We also provide concierge trash service, which means that if you have an overflow issue, and we will pick-up the excess trash!  Animals love to get into the trash outside of the receptacles and make a big mess.  So, please contact management for overflow pick-ups.

8.  Parking:  There is plenty of parking to accomodate a maximum capacity of 10 people!  And yes, you can park your boat trailer here as well (Remember to bring your chocks!  Owners are NOT responsible for roll-aways or driveway incursions).

9.  Guests are asked to bring their own PFD's for maximum safety and proper fit.  If you are at a home that provides watercraft, you will need to ensure you bring your own properly fitted PFD.

10.  No horseplay, climbing or jumping at the dock.  

11.  Quick note here for our boaters...the lifts are NOT available, but you can tie off at the dock.
