Cabin Rental Rules

Whether you’re relaxing at the 1891 Schoolhouse Inn or unwinding at Helmsburg Homestead, I want your stay in Brown County to be both safe and memorable. While the vacation rentals sit tucked away in peaceful, rural settings, that doesn’t mean “anything goes.” You’re staying in a thoughtfully cared-for home and sharing land with full-time residents.

To protect your safety—and out of respect for our neighbors and the surrounding environment—please follow the rules below at all My Brown County Vacation rental properties:

1. Do not wash food waste down the kitchen sink.
2. We are on a septic system, please only flush toliet paper.
3. Children must be supervised at all times.
4. Pets are only allowed at 1891 Schoolhouse Inn with prior approval
5. No pets allowed at Helmsburg Homestead
6. No guns, firearms, fireworks or explosives—no exceptions.
7. No smoking or vaping.
8. No parties or events.
9. Be mindful of noise and activity levels—even in quiet, country settings
   
10. Home sleeps a maximum of 4 people.

This is not an exhaustive list. Just because something isn’t listed doesn’t mean it’s permitted. If you wouldn’t do it in your own home, backyard, or neighborhood, we ask that you don’t do it here.

Your respect helps keep these special places peaceful, safe, and welcoming—for you and for all future guests.
