Dear Guests,

“Lakewood Lodge” was built for the delight and comfort of our guests. We want those that come after to have the same enjoyable experience as those that came before. If there is anything that you are unhappy with, please call 540-320-3058. If it is within our power, we will do our best to resolve the situation to your satisfaction. As a “thank you” for helping us with the following requests, if you reserve for next year’s stay before you leave, you will be guaranteed a discount!

Sincerely,
Jerry and Sherry Vaughn (Owners and Managers)

Here are our Guest Requests:

It is your responsibility to inform all of your guests of the rules and restrictions contained in the lease agreement and on this web site. We recommend that you send this link to them and ask them to read it thoroughly.

Please DO NOT park or drive on the grass unless directed there by attendant during an event! Park only in graveled or paved areas, but do not block the driveways.

CAUTION!!

Please do not allow dogs or children to enter the fish pond. It is ornamental and not for fishing or swimming.  Help us preserve the environment for the fish.  Also, DO NOT break ice that may be over the pond as it could KILL the fish.

*Reserve the canoe ahead of time, if possible, as our other property may want it, too.

*Lakewood has an Engineered Septic System.  Please put grease and oils in provided zip-lock bags or disposable plastic container with lid. Then dispose of in the trash.

*Please, do not flush ANY personal hygiene products other than toilet paper.

*Please, hand-wash pots and pans and do not use them on the grill.

*We love dogs but they are not allowed in the pond, on the beds or furniture.

{Read our "dog owners" page}

*Open fires are allowed only in the fire-pit. Use caution and common sense. No bonfires, only campfires. Be prepared to leave a donation for each night that you use firewood.

*Remember that the HVAC unit will not work properly if you leave doors and windows open.

* Please do not use towels and wash cloths to remove make-up. There are towelettes provided.

*Before retiring, please turn down the Amish Heirloom quilt or place on quilt rack. There are extra blankets and linens in the armoire, if needed.

*The books in the "take one-leave one" basket will be available for exchange with one of yours that you are finished with. Please leave the ones on the shelves for other guests to enjoy.
 

*Please, please clean up after your dog!

(We are aware there are other dogs in the neighborhood that may occasionally visit. You are welcome to run them off the property. Our dog, "Jake", may also visit because he thinks it is "his" house.) They are all harmless and just curious about other dogs and guests.

*Please leave Lakewood Lodge as you found it.

This means that you clean anything that you used. Cleaners are provided.

• If you prefer not to clean, please notify us and we will clean after your stay and your credit card will be billed $65-$85 cleaning fee. You are still responsible for loading the dishwasher, stripping the beds, beginning a load of towels and emptying the trash.

If you choose to clean:

• Clean as you would clean your own house when preparing for overnight guests.

• Sweep and vacuum.

• Clean the bathrooms and tubs.

• We will do the mopping.

• Wipe out appliances.

• Beds do not have to be made, but linens should be washing as you leave.

• Please start washing a load of dishes.

• Do not overload appliances.

• Place all trash in the trash can and close lid tightly.

• Sweep the porch if needed.

• Police all outside areas that you used.

• Please lock all doors and close the windows.

• Return thermostat to 70 in summer, 68 in winter.

• Police all areas for personal belongings as we must charge for requests of returned items.

Thank you!
