FAQ
Questions guests ask
Is the pool heated, and when is it open?
Yes, the outdoor pool is heated. It's a seasonal outdoor pool, generally open late spring through early fall depending on weather. Send us your dates and we'll confirm.
Can we bring our dog?
Yes. Up to two dogs are welcome, each 50 lb or less. Please mention them in your request.
Is the house on the water?
The property has its own access and dock on a small private lake just past the pool, with a canoe and fishing from the pier. The larger Pistakee Lake and the Chain O'Lakes are about a 3-minute walk.
Can we bring or rent a boat?
Several marinas around Pistakee Lake rent pontoons and other boats by the day. Guests regularly rent one for a day on the Chain.
Is it good for families and groups?
That's who it's built for. Four bedrooms, a futon, four and a half baths, two kitchens and a big backyard give a group of up to 12 room to spread out.
