Summer Wristband Policy
It appears previous guests, guests from other resorts and locals have discovered our wonderful little beach and lake at Deer Park. This is causing overcrowding at the beach and creating an insurance liability for the owners at Deer Park. Therefore, Deer Park has implemented a wristband policy for the summer. All guests over the age of 10 will be required to wear a wristband to access the beaches and tennis courts.
How to access wristbands:
1. Bring the Recreation Center access card located on the blackboard inside our unit with a photo id to the front desk. The front desk has your name and number of guests you registered.
2. The front desk will check you in and give each guest (over 10) staying in the unit a wrist band for the day. Wristbands will not be provided to guests and friends not staying in the unit.
Wristbands MUST be returned by the end of the day or you will be charged a $30 fee per wristband.
Winter: Do not turn heat down below 55 degrees in the winter. NOTE: Please make sure you open the flu to the fire place before starting a fire. Push the knob above the fire place in and to the right to open the flu. Wood on the first floor to the right of the stairs is a community wood pile. Help yourself to wood from the first floor for the fireplace.
