Prepping for your

What to bring for the trip

Here’s a basic list of what you might want to bring on your vacation. You’ll undoubtedly have your own needs, but we thought this might be helpful, knowing what we do about the amenities in this home.

  • Personal toiletries – we provide soap, shampoo and conditioner, but depending on brand preference, you might want to bring your own.
  • Personal electronics chargers – we have outlets in each bedroom to plug in overnight, but please bring your own chargers.
  • Info to login on smart TVs – all rooms have smart TVs, but you will need to bring your own logins.

Things you do not need to bring

We’ve attempted to ensure that our vacation home is appropriately stocked.

  • Bed linens – all of the beds are made with soft and fresh bed linens. 
  • Towels  – bathroom is stocked with towels. We also provide pool towels for the lake. Please do not use bathroom towels for the lake as they could get stained/damaged
  • Blowdryer – we have one in the bathroom.
  • Kitchen and cooking supplies – we provide quality cookware and kitchen tools, including knives, baking tools and pans, Keurig, waffle maker, mixer, slow cooker and blender. 
  • Coffee – the coffee bar is stocked with Keurig cups.

planning

your arrival

Access code

We will provide you with an access digital key code the day before your arrival by 1pm. This will allow you to check yourself into the property via the front door.

Check-in

Check-in time starts at 4:00pm. Please do not arrive to the cottage until the scheduled check-in time as your door code will not work. It will also put stress on the cleaners and potentially delay your check-in time.

If you are arriving early, we suggest you explore the local restaurants or visit downtown Culver for a stroll. 

Parking

The cottage can accommodate a maximum of 3 vehicles. 

house rules

friendly reminder

We know you’re here to have a good time and we want you to feel right at home. Our ground rules are designed to keep everyone safe and help make Chillin Away a great place to stay. 

Parties

NO parties or events of any kind are permitted at the property. 

Septic

We are on septic which means it’s sensitive. Please only flush toilet paper. We also do not have garbage disposals so please no food or grease down drains. 

Occupants

We can accommodate a maximum of 6 occupants, including visitors.

Smoking

This is a smoke-free property, including the outside area surrounding the property—no smoking of any substance including vaping.

Pets

We love animals, but we chose to make this cabin pet-free due to many people (hosts included) being allergic. If you try to sneak in a pet, you will forfeit all deposits and will be asked to leave.

Breakages

We understand that sometimes accidents happen. Should you break anything, please let us know immediately so we can get the item replaced quickly – if it’s minor we usually won’t charge. If it’s a larger issue (e.g. TV screen), we would like to agree on the cost with you before you leave to avoid any issues later.

internet

details

You’ll need Wi-Fi to use most features on your phone because cell service is spotty at times. It’s fast enough for streaming TV, video calls, phone apps, and websites. The service is provided for your enjoyment, but you are responsible for safe and appropriate use and complying with all laws. If there is any loss of service, please contact us.
