It is very effective; however, it will clog if improper material is flushed. DO NOT FLUSH anything other than toilet paper. No feminine products, flushable wipes, Q-Tips, baby wipes, or sanitizing wipes should be flushed at anytime. If it is found that these products have been flushed and clog the septic system, repair and service costs will be assessed to the renter and will not be considered unintentional damage.

Winter weather and the road conditions they create cannot be predicted. There are many factors involved, like the duration and severity of the weather, the vehicle being driven (all-wheel, 4-wheel drive, front wheel drive, rear wheel drive) and the driver’s expertise driving in the weather and rural roads, can all play a significant role. In the event of significant winter weather with advance notice, we will be happy to credit your payment(s) toward a booking within 1 year of the original one.
