The 6 bedroom listing removes any potential neighbors you may have. By booking, I acknowledge, there is an apartment adjacent to the Main house that shares 2 walls with the Main House. The Apartment shares no amenities except a parking space in the parking area, and Apt guests do not have access to the backyard. Noise Ordinance is 9pm - 9am. $100 fee for excessive noise violations (reserved for inconsiderate, disrespectful guests or party throwers).

No audio is recorded at any time, and there are no recording devices inside the home. Pet Policy: For a fee (per pet, per stay), well trained, indoor dogs are welcomed. No cats or other animals please. Dogs must be crated when unsupervised, and we kindly ask they not get on couches, bedding, etc which makes it very difficult for our cleaning staff & future guest allergies. On a case by base basis, when our cleaning staff encounters additional charges, we reserve the right to charge for excessive pet hair, uncleaned pet messes, and damages. Cleaning & House Rules: Standard cleaning is included in your reservation. For excessive cleaning, smoke or vape smells, pet messages, pet hair, damages we reserve the right to charge on case by case basis.

Send us an inquiry and ask for our "6 bedroom Lake Buchanan listing"! The optional suite adds a ground-floor king bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchenette. When both accommodations are booked together, a short interior hallway can connect the suite to the Main House - particularly convenient for multigenerational families. PRIVACY & SEPARATE GUEST ACCOMMODATIONS If you book only the 5-bedroom Main House, the Guest Suite is NOT included and may be separately occupied by up to 2 other guests maximum. Both accommodations are designed for privacy and independence. Suite guests have their own exterior entrance on the left side of the property and reserved parking, with no access to your Main House, backyard, plunge pool, cabana, patios, or decks. Only the front driveway and Level 2 EV charger are shared. When rented separately, the short connecting hallway is secured by two locked exterior-grade security doors, one at each end, preventing interior access between accommodations. Thanks to the separate entrances, secure interior separation, and private outdoor amenities, most Main House guests barely notice when the Guest Suite is occupied. Both groups can enjoy their own private spaces throughout their stay. Guest have exclusive, non-shared access to the advertised 5 bedroom listing. The 3-acres is not shared by the Private Guest King Suite guests (except for driveway, their reserved parking spot, and the Level 2 EV charger). Self check-in at any time after earliest check-in time. We have a online Guest Guide with all the details to plan your trip & a Guest Services team available 24/7 to handle basic questions or they can escalate to the small local family business owners who stay engaged to assist.
