Additional Items to Note Prior to Arrival

Emergency Contact number 24/7 – 417-766-5533 or 417-881-7144 or 911

• Phone on premises will dial only local Blue Eye MO numbers. Branson is long distance unfortunately (despite being only 2 miles away – go figure). 911 / Emergency and 800 / Toll Free numbers are able to be dialed. The phones do not allow for LD or Collect calls, but you may use operator assistance or credit card assisted LD calls. Excellent cellular reception on property for all major cellular networks.
• TRASH Disposal: Please help us by segregating RECYCLABLES from general trash. We have a two-can system on the deck.
• Please NO Pets !
• Please NO smoking IN THE HOUSE AND no butts left outside anywhere !
• Laundry / towels etc can be left in the tubs but if you do your own laundry, please wash ALL WHITES TOGETHER – NOT WITH COLORED ITEMS ! We will have to charge to replace any cottage towels or linens that become “adversely colored” when doing your own laundry. Just a friendly reminder J
• When leaving premises, lock all doors to prevent theft of your personal items AND our furniture and electronics. Please remember that this is our second home and personal property as well. For your added security please also use the lock bars on the two slider doors to the deck.
• Our property is on a septic system and as such, please place any feminine toiletries in the trash rather than down the toilet. Also, no grease down the sinks as this also is very bad for a septic system. The house has a whole house filter system and water softener for your comfort.
• IMPORTANT -- Hot Tub use: the lid to the hot tub on deck does snap locked in four places (for child safety we recommend using this feature if small children are present). It does require a special “black key” to unlock the snaps to the lid --- DO NOT PULL ON SNAPS OR YOU WILL BREAK THE LATCHES – “key” is left hanging on a nail to the right of the hot tub on the railing near to the tub. Please do not loose key. ( See Hot tub rules below).
• BBQ Grill use: DO NOT PLACE GRILL AGAINST or anywhere near HOUSE – this will melt the vinyl siding . Fire Extinguisher is found in kitchen under Island counter. Extra propane is located on the deck by trash cans. If you happen to run out of propane, feel free to do a “Tank Exchange” at Twin Island Gas Station up the road about 5 minutes. Let us know and we can credit you the exchange fee (with proof of receipt). We know how disturbing it can be if the grill stops working in the middle of dinner.

Hot Tub Rules

• No standing or sitting on cover please ! They are expensive to replace. Please keep children OFF – no climbing on cover !
• PLEASE SHOWER BEFORE entering tub, esp if having been in the lake before / REMOVE HEAVY MAKEUP or LOTIONS BEFORE ENTERING – this helps keep the pool chemistry and water as clean as possible.
• NO USE OF SOAPS / LOTIONS / OILS IN TUB, as it creates a mess for us to clean. You may feel free to add fresh water from the spicket / hose outside under the deck if tub requires more water after extended use and water loss. Do not overfill & please don’t let the water level get below the filter inlet.
• Please use the bathroom and not the tub J .
• To remove cover, carefully place it folded on one side of the hot tub, standing on end.
• Please leave cover on tub when not in use to keep leaves and other debris out & to keep the tub from loosing heat.
• Do not pull on latches if latched – you must use black “key” to unlock the cover (found hanging near tub on a nail).
• If small children are present we do recommend using the locking latches on the cover to prevent accidental drowning. Parental supervision is assumed if children under 14 are using the Spa.
• Spa is continuously sanitized with Bromine. Please leave the blue, floating Brominator in the tub at all times. DO NOT adjust the Brominator settings please.
• Temperature is set at 90 degrees on arrival – you may want to increase the temp setting upon arrival as it increases 5 degrees per hour with lid in place (max temp is 104 degrees). Note that there are health risks associated with the use of hot tubs – use with discretion and at your own risk.
