No business or commercial enterprise shall be permitted to operate from or within the resort without prior written consent of resort management, and no advertising signs may be placed on the site. This restriction does not preclude any guest from conducting business in their home on a strictly digital or remote basis (i.e. where the activities of the business do not bring additional traffic into the community or to the guest’s site, cause a nuisance or excessive noise, affect the appearance of the guest’s home, or it is deemed inappropriate by management, in their sole discretion. A “business” also includes any commercial enterprise which: (1) requires traffic from the outside of the resort to enter for the purpose of dealing with said business; (2) uses any type of sign or advertising on the exterior of the home; (3) includes door-to-door canvassing of resort guests; (4) interferes with the safe, pleasant, and enjoyable use of the resort by any of its residents or guests; or (5) involves the purchase of a manufactured home or RV or any interest in a manufactured home or RV for the purpose of resale, leasing, renting or other business use. No type of business may solicit on resort property unless approved by management in writing. Please notify the resort manager if you see any solicitors or suspicious activity.

Should this type of activity be sponsored, it is imperative that guests remove all items from their yards immediately following the event.
