Guest Rules & Information

Please treat the property with care so it remains a peaceful place for everyone.

Welcome

Dry Grove is a private family property consisting of mostly wooded land, a cabin, a barn, and a small lake. It is held for the use of family, children, grandchildren, and approved friends by request.

Access & Gate

The main gate is secured with a chain and two brass padlocks (each on opposite ends of the chain, then interconnected). Close and re-lock the gate whenever you leave the property, even for short trips. Do not share the combination with others without prior approval. See the Gate Operations page for detailed arrival and departure steps.

Cabin & Facilities

• Cabin — water and electricity available.
• Barn — electricity only (no water).

Please report any problems with plumbing, electrical, or other systems promptly.

House Rules

• No dogs or other pets indoors. Pets are not permitted inside the cabin.
• No smoking indoors. Smoke only outdoors and dispose of butts properly.
• Bring your own linens. Guests supply their own sheets, towels, pillows, and bedding.
• Equipment use by permission only. Do not use tools, vehicles, boats, or other equipment without explicit prior permission.
• Keep noise reasonable, especially in the evenings. This is a quiet, rural setting.
• Do not cut live trees or alter the landscape without permission.
• Fires only in designated areas and only when conditions are safe. Fully extinguish before leaving.
