Gorgeous Lake Home with Hot Tub - by MOA and MSP

Summary:
Your 5,000 sq.ft. executive home on 2 acres awaits. Relax in the 7-person hot tub. Take in lake views from the deck. Warm up by your choice of 3 fireplaces or build your fire outdoors at the lakeside firepit patio. Explore the lake in the canoe and kayaks provided. There is a 30 person maximum and tons of space for all your guests to enjoy.

The Space:
I have everything you need here: clean linens, towels, washcloths, and some basic kitchen items like olive oil, salt, pepper, flour and sugar. I supply a Ninja drip coffee maker (with filter), a French press, a Keurig coffee maker (with reusable pods) and Folgers coffee is supplied.

There is direct access to the lake via 10 stairs that lead from the backyard to the lakeshore. There are 2 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, a canoe, paddles, and life jackets available for your use. The lake and surrounding area is teeming with wildlife including tree frogs, turtles, fish, a variety of bird species (eagles, blue jays, cardinals, woodpeckers). You may even see one of the resident bald eagles!

Guest Access:
You will turn off 70th street to come down a wooded, winding driveway. There are 2 double garages available for you to park up to 4 cars, with additional parking available in the driveway for up to 20 more cars if you get creative.
There is a keypad code for the garages that is provided upon booking. The whole house and surrounding wooded areas are yours to explore and enjoy.

Other Things to Note:
Your reservation includes however many guests you list upon booking. I allow up to 20 guests on the property at any time. All guests must be listed as there is a charge of $30/guest/day (after the first 4 guests) - this fee is already included in your quoted price assuming you select the accurate number of people when booking.

Please note that there are cameras that are only focused on the entrances to the house and NOT inside the house in any way.

When making your reservation request, please make sure to include the number of guests who may just be stopping by even if they are not staying overnight as they need to be included for fee calculations (infants from 0-1 year of age are not included in that number). If more guests are present than disclosed, your reservation may be cancelled without refund or notice. Once your reservation is confirmed, you will be asked to provide the names of all who will be present during your stay.

HOUSE RULES:
1) Quiet Hours: 10pm to 8am – Enforced by the City of Inver Grove Heights
City ordinance requires complete quiet around the home starting at 10pm. This means all outdoor activity and socializing must be brought inside by that time—no exceptions. My neighbors are extremely important to me, and I have a zero-tolerance policy on this rule. After 10pm, no music or conversation should be audible outside—including to neighbors, outdoor cameras, or the noise-monitoring system on-site. Soft, hushed voices are okay if necessary (like when walking to and from your car), but please avoid any unnecessary outdoor noise, and do not use car remotes that cause the horn to beep—lock manually instead. As you appreciate peace and quiet at your own home, please extend the same courtesy to my neighbors so I can continue offering this space to guests like you.

Violation of this rule may result in a fine deducted from your security deposit. AIRBNB’s and VRBO's Community Disturbance Policy also prohibits disruptive gatherings or excessive noise at any time of day.


(2) NO SMOKING INDOORS: this includes but is not limited to cigarettes, marijuana, and e-cigs/vapes. Smoking must be away from open doors and windows. You must pick up any cigarette butts or other smoking debris when smoking outside.

If I find any evidence of smoking inside, a $1500 fee will be taken from your security deposit plus the cost to remove the smoke smell.

(3) Guest list must be provided 2 weeks before your stay must match your actual guests. Guests over what you selected when making your reservation are $30 per person per day extra. Please send first and last names in the message thread. Please understand an open guest list party is NOT ALLOWED and will result in an immediate cancellation of your reservation and any guests over the amount listed when booking will be charged at $30/guest/day. Day guests and night guests are counted the same for fee purposes. Maximum 20 guests allowed on the property at a time.

4) HOT TUB
The hot tub is available from 8 AM to 10 PM. During quiet hours (10pm to 8am), we allow up to 2 people maximum if they will follow quiet hours rule-- using only hushed library level voices after 10pm. The same quiet hours apply in the hot tub.
• All kids must be supervised by an adult when using the hot tub. Kids under 10 years old are not allowed in the hot tub.
• No glass allowed in or near the hot tub. No smoking in the hot tub as debris/ash causes damage to the hot tub components.
• Use at your own risk.

I request a $1,500 security deposit to ensure these 4 rules are followed. It is your responsibility as the renter to communicate these rules to your guests.

To pay the House Rules Deposit:
Airbnb: I make a Money Request through the website. The deposit is then refunded through the website within 2 days after your stay if the house rules are followed.
VRBO: Will be "held" on the first day of your stay. Not a charge and is released within 48 hours of departure provided the house rules are followed.

I do not enjoy being so strict and requiring this security deposit but past experiences have made these steps necessary. I greatly appreciate your understanding.

Dogs are allowed at a rate of $150/dog/stay and these rules must be followed:

1. No dogs on furniture. If your dog is used to that at home, please bring blankets or covers from home to cover furniture.

3. Give frequent potty breaks to avoid accidents in the home.
4. Must pick up after your dog in the yard
