For a rental car, write RENTAL. The rental car pass will need to be collected at the Teepee/HOA office at 44 Towamensing Trail, Mon–Fri 9–5 and Sat 9–3. The $7 vehicle registration fee is collected with your booking.

Please do not leave a dog alone in the house unless crated. Service animals are welcome at no charge.
PARKING
The driveway fits 5–6 cars depending on size. Vehicle information is required at least 72 hours before check-in. Each vehicle needs a parking pass displayed.

The clubhouse is currently closed for renovation. Children 5 and under do not need a badge.
