- CLEAN UP AT DEPARTURE TIME:
Departure time is 11:00 AM. Kindly leave all the facilities in the same, if not better, condition as you found them for the next guests. We cannot stress this enough. Please pay particular attention to the beach, the barbeques, fire pits, pet debris, refrigerators, stoves, microwaves etc. Take all food, including everything in the refrigerators, and personal toiletries with you. There is a check out list in the Information Booklet at the homes and on the refrigerators. Each year, we will provide you with information and rates for our contracted cleaning service. Any instances reported of damage, vandalism, or of facilities being left in poor condition is considered a breach of this agreement and those responsible will be financially responsible and will not be welcome at Fall Brook Point in the future.
- Arrival: Arrival is 3:00 PM. If, upon your arrival, you are not satisfied with the condition of the facilities, please contact Michele Anthony, or Paul Anthony Jr. immediately. We can only address concerns if you notify us.

- Restrictions Of Property Use: No commercial or private functions on site. (Company parties, conventions, sale shows, weddings, rehearsal dinners, reunions, retirement parties etc.) If you have any doubt, always check with Michele.
- Being a paying guest during a specific period of time does not automatically extend your rights to visit or use the facilities at other times.
- Note that the steps and the footbridge have been painted with non-slip paint. However they can be slippery when wet, particularly with leaves on them. Sweep off the leaves, use caution, and hold on.
- Toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues are provided for the first guests. Please replace these at departure for the next guests.
- Fire pits: Keep fire pits clean. The fire pit is not a place for trash.
- Window screens are provided for your comfort for the doors and many of the windows. As a safety measure for small children on the upper floors, half screens should be put on the top portion of the window. As a result, the children will be safer and adequate ventilation should prevail.
- Pets: We currently continue to allow your pets to enjoy their freedom at Fall Brook Point. However, you know the damage they can cause if left unattended and the nuisance they can create for neighbors. Be respectful of our guests in the neighboring home. Aggressive dogs are not welcome. In order to continue offering the privilege of allowing your pet at Fall Brook Point, we must insist that you clean up after them. It is in everyone’s best interest that you clean up DAILY and again at the conclusion of your stay. This will keep everyone and everywhere much cleaner and happier. If you have any concerns about this upon arrival, please contact Michele. Maximum number of dogs per house is two (2). No cats permitted.

- Phone: There are no land lines at the Fall Brook Point facilities. Please use your cell phone.
- Swim Platforms & Docks: The water sports on Skaneateles Lake are the best around! We encourage you to enjoy the swimming, boating, water-skiing, etc. However, we have encountered some problems with the SWIM PLATFORMS. Please DO NOT tie off any boats, jet skis etc. to the swim platforms. They are not intended for this purpose and are not designed for this purpose. They are strictly for swimming use. PLEASE use the docks or the moorings for your recreational water equipment. Exercise caution when using the docks. DO NOT leave your boat at the dock overnight. USE THE MOORING. If the water is rough or storms are expected, you MUST USE THE MOORING for your recreational water equipment. If you are leaving Fall Brook to enjoy the surrounding area, YOU MUST USE THE MOORING for your recreational water equipment.We have experienced costly dock damage (and guests have experienced boat damage) as a result of unexpected weather changes and our guests are responsible for the damage. Thank you.
- We expect that you will have guests during your stay at Fall Brook. But please, be respectful of your neighbors. No tents and no motor homes/campers of any kind. NO exceptions!
- Motor Bikes and ATV’s: Because of the terrain of Fall Brook, cliffs, wooded hills, ravines etc., the use of motor bikes and ATVs is strictly prohibited.
- Smoke Detectors: Smoke detectors are for your safety. Both the Main House and South Camp at Fall Brook are monitored by smoke detectors. Under NO circumstances are smoke detectors to be disarmed or removed. Anyone found tampering with these devices or removing them will not be welcome back to Fall Brook. We begin each season with new batteries in every smoke detector.

NO ONE, other than our guests, has permission to launch boats, walk the beach, stroll the property, sit at the Love Nest, fish, hike, or otherwise be on any of Fall Brook’s 38 acres. If while you are staying with us an unknown person is on the property or represents themselves as having permission from the owner, please get their name and just walk away. Then call Michele or Paul ASAP!

You are invited to make comments and recommendations. Your input is important to us. You may do so at peaceful@fallbrookpoint.com.
In conclusion, please remember that Fall Brook Point is more than a rental property to us. We too come with our families to enjoy everything our incredible property has to offer.
