4850 South County Road 210 Knox, IN 46534 (Waze or Google maps would bring you to the property).
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.
We’ve attempted to ensure that our vacation home is appropriately stocked.
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 time starts at 4:00pm central time. 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.
The cottage can accommodate a maximum of 3 vehicles.
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.
NO parties or events of any kind are permitted at the property.
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.
We can accommodate a maximum of 6 occupants, including visitors.
This is a smoke-free property, including the outside area surrounding the property—no smoking of any substance including vaping.
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.
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.
