You may not use our docks for your boat unless you contact us separately and make a reservation for your boat. You may not tie up here because we are on the windy side of the lake and doing so will damage your boat and our dock. This is a very strict policy. This is a fishing lake and swimming is not advised due to the presence of swimmer's itch. We recommend you use our pool if you desire a swim and there are lakes nearby which are better suited for swimming. No jet skis allowed. Kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding is welcomed. You can contact us to book a boat lift or watercraft rental. DOCKS ARE SLIPPERY WHEN WET!! USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WALKING ON OUR DOCKS. ABSOLUTELY NO RUNNING AT ANY TIME! Children must never be unattended on our docks and we advise wearing life vests near the water. Smoking is allowed on the property, but not inside the cabins. This is a STRICT policy. You will be charged a fee if we detect smoke inside of our cabins. Please be courteous to other guests. Pet Policy – We LOVE dogs! But we have some rules… 1. Your pet must be well behaved. People come to Bowstring for peace and quiet. We will lose customers if your dog disturbs our other guests. 2. Absolutely no pets on our bedding. Dog hair will not wash out of our bedding. Pet hair on our bedding will result in a charge for replacing bedding. It is ruined once pet hair works its way into the fibers. If you must sleep with your dog, you must bring your own bedding. 3. Accidents/shedding - If your dog has frequent accidents, it’s best not to bring them. If cleaning staff has to spend extra time on pet stains, there will be an extra charge. If there is excess pet hair everywhere, there will be an extra charge for cleaning. Remember, vacuums and dust mops are provided! If you need a cleaning product for a pet accident, don’t hesitate to ask! We have dogs and we know it can happen from time to time! 4. Barking dogs will not be tolerated. We understand a few yips during play or when someone comes home, but it you leave your pet in your cabin all day and it continually barks, your pet will be asked to leave. 5. Aggressive dogs are not welcome at Bowstring. If a staff member deems your dog aggressive, your pet will be asked to leave. 6. Leash your dog at all times. Having dogs off leashes can create all types of problems. You will be given one warning, then we’ll have to ask your pet to leave. 7. You must clean up after your pet.

In front of the lodge, behind cabin 1, and by the boat ramp. Please be considerate and also remind children walking dogs of this rule. 8. Breed Restrictions – There are certain breeds that are aggressive or too large to accept in our cabins. The largest breed you may bring into our cabins is a Labrador retriever. No Great Danes, St. Bernards, Bull Mastiffs, or other very large/hairy breeds that drool excessively. We know that pitbulls are a misunderstood breed, but we can not accept them at Bowstring for insurance purposes. 9. Leaving your dog outside/in your car – In the past, we have been asked if dogs can stay outside or in your car to avoid pet fees. The answer has to be no for several reasons. One, there are predators in the area, this is the Northwoods, and it’s not safe for your pet. Two, we think it’s cruel to leave your pet locked up in your car or on a chain while you’re on vacation just to save on pet fees or kenneling costs. Three, your dog could get loose and you wouldn’t know, putting other dogs, people and your dog in danger. They’re part of the family too! 10. If we ask your pet to leave – This will probably mean that someone must take your pet home. There will be no financial compensation for cutting your vacation short. It is a tough decision for us to make. We want everyone to have a great time at Bowstring, but if it comes down to one guest being unhappy or all guests being unhappy, we’ll have to choose one guest. 11. Not declaring your dog – If you failed to tell us you have a dog, you will be charged for one. If we forgot to charge you for one at check out because neither of us noticed that it wasn’t on your bill, it is within our rights to charge you retroactively. Cleaning staff does have to spend quite a bit of extra time cleaning and deodorizing after cabins with pets. 12. Number of pets – we limit the number of dogs to two. In cabins 1 or 9 (one bedroom cabins) the limit is two small dogs or one larger dog. 13. Extra fees – if your dog sheds excessively and we find hair in places like the shower, the stove, the windowsills, and under the beds, we may contact you to discuss an extra fee. Our staff is expensive to employ, and like the rest of the country, we are understaffed in the first place, so if a lot of extra time is needed cleaning dog hair, we may charge an extra fee. 14. No cats. Check-out cleaning procedures We ask that you please leave your cabin the same way you found it with a few exceptions. 1. Please wash, dry, and put away all dishes, flatware, glasses, etc. and empty the dishwasher if applicable. Please do not remove any kitchen items from your cabin.
