Much love, respect, and work has gone into creating the Big House at Cape Catherine to be appreciated by family gatherings and groups wanting to bond and enjoy Lake Catherine for its beauty, adventure and peacefulness in a clean, well-cared for home. Outdoor security cameras with views of the entrances and exits have been installed. They are only monitored if neighbors inform us of excessive noise (past quiet hours) or parties occurring. We value and respect the privacy of our guests.

Other Things to Note:
Important: Important: Before you arrive, I'll send a link by email or text for a quick guest verification through my property management software. It helps me keep up with short-term rental regulations and gives guests and homes a little extra protection. If you finish it before you arrive, check-in is quick and easy. Maximum Occupancy is 6.
Guests must be 25 or older to book. This home is not set up for parties. My neighbors live here year-round, so I ask everyone to keep noise down after quiet hours and to respect their right to quiet enjoyment.
The lake, dock, kayaks, and paddleboards are yours to enjoy. Please use them and swim at your own risk, since I cannot be responsible for injuries.
Entergy lowers the lake each winter for shoreline maintenance and lake health. From mid-November to mid-March, there is no water on the west side of the peninsula and shallow water on the east side.
Interaction with Guests:
Once you're booked, I'm a call or text away if you have any questions. I also have a handyman on call if something comes up that I cannot resolve by phone or text.
