Pets: Freshwater Vacation Rentals currently charges $75/per pet for your entire stay. Yes, we do accept dogs, yet we do ask that you please clean up after them both inside and outside the cabin.

Just let us know which bed you will be using with them, and we'll make sure it is ready for your sheets when you arrive. Plus, if the pet hair starts to build, we do ask that you please run the vacuum. Generally, dogs love the water and places to explore. Pet food does tend to attract mice, so vigilance is needed.

Raus on the River
Thanks for sending the AC guy quickly. It really does look like you have a first floor bedroom its just a bed in a corner. We have a person who is disabled and were ready for stairs. You need coasters, tupperware, better shampoo etc bar soap. I have more suggestions so I'm emailing.

Lake house.
Our stay at the house was very good. The house was clean and well stocked. We enjoyed being able to walk out the dock and jump in the boat. Nice relaxing week.
