What to pack for a lake house stay
A short list for a week by the water, and where to check what the house already has.
The house page lists what's there, so read it first and pack for the gaps. A few things are worth a place in the bag either way.
For the water
- Swimsuits, and a dry change of clothes for each person
- Water shoes
- Towels, if the house page doesn't say they're there
- Sun protection and a hat
For the evenings
- A sweater, because lake evenings cool off
- Bug spray
- Something to read or play
If you're bringing the dog
Read the house rules on the house page first, then tell the host a little about your dog when you write.
Before you leave home
Check the arrival and departure times on the house page. If something isn't listed, ask the host.
