7. WELCOME KIT

Hi

Thanks, I just ran/received the $500 security deposit.

I've attached the Bald Eagle Lodge Welcome Kit; it includes the directions,

key code, emergency contact numbers, and detailed house information,

check-in & out procedures, local shopping and other miscellaneous info.

Please print out this page + the attachment, review and let me know if

something isn't clear or if you have any additional questions.

*Remember: Check-in is at 4pm and Check-out is at 12noon. This is very

important so to allow the cleaning crew enough uninterrupted time to

complete a thorough cleaning for all our guests!

SPECIAL NOTES:

1. LAKEFRONT:

The lake is communally used by the community owners on lease from Hunter

Mountain Resort. So technically, the lake and all the land immediately

around the lake are communal for swimming, playing ball, Frisbee, etc. No

owner owns any of the lake or land and we always try to be respectful of

each others space. I own two rental homes and have built two docks with

small beachfronts separated by 5 feet of shrubs. Please access the lake

using the dock directly below you and be aware that my guests in the log

home across the street will be using the one to the left.

2. TOWELS:

Please tell everyone to bring beach towels. Do not use the house towels down

at the lake!

3. BOATS:

I have supplied 1 canoe, 3 kayaks & 1 pedal boat. These are for guests at

both homes to use and enjoy... If only you and your guests are at the lake

feel free to use them all. but if the other guests are also on the water,

please share the toys accordingly

4. NOISE:

Please be conscious that this is a residential area in the country and noise

travels. Come 11pm please move the gathering inside!! I have excellent

relations with my neighbors but due to a few groups who were very loud into

the early morning hours I've been warned that if neighbors keep getting

woken up after 11pm they'll be forced to call the sheriff.

5. FIRE PIT:

New York State law is very clear that all open camp fires must be no wider

than 4 feet and no higher than 3 feet and it is illegal to leave an open

fire unattended.

- The fine for either is $3000 (yes, three thousand dollars) plus risk of

being arrested!!!

There's a very good reason for this. All fires create some sparks but once

they get above 3 feet high the fire, heat, and intensity gets compounded and

the sparks become bigger and fly farther creating a real danger. If you make

a fire that burns private property, injures or kills someone, you will be

held libel and charged. this is no joke!

We are on a mountain IN THE WOODS. If you make a bonfire or leave an open

fire unattended, my neighbors who don't want their homes burned down by

ignorant idiots will call the police. and you will be fined $3000.00 and or

arrested on the spot!

Also. DO NOT THROW BOTTLES, CANS, GLASS, ETC INTO THE FIRE PIT!!!

So if you are inclined and know how to make a reasonable campfire, NY law

says ok. But be smart and responsible. and never allow the "drunk guy" to be

in charge!

Thanks again and have a fabulous stay!

Best regards,

Happy to help, and please let us know if you have any further questions!

In my emails to them, I list my office and cell # should they wish to contact me. I personally greet every guest at check in and therefore there is a voice and a face to go with the reservation. We start email confirmations once we receive a deposit. We do not prepare any paper work until deposit reserving my homes is received. We allow our guests 48 hours hold on the home pending receipt of their deposit check.  After that, home is fair game.

Many of our guests are not available by phone due to work etc.

Mlb, I also provide my office (cell) #, on my listings on several sites, and have never had a problem with calls 24/7.  I find that the only "cold" calls I get come from people looking for last minute rentals, and I can easily screen any call going to my cell #. They either leave a message, or they don't.

I always speak with our guests before any financial transaction takes place, since it makes ME feel better.  Once a transaction is in place I want them to know they can reach me at a phone number with any questions, etc.

And since I manage my own home, I'm fine with calls from all "in house" guests,_ I actually REQUIRE that they contact me if they encounter any problem -  but then I only have 1 place. I guess everyone has to figure out what works best for them.
