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.
Please Read Before Your Stay

Swim Spa Safety
Safety and care are essential to ensure the swim spa remains a positive part of your stay.
The same practical safety tips apply to the hot tub at the 1891 Schoolhouse Inn.
The Swim Spa at Helmsburg Homestead is a wonderful amenity designed for relaxation and enjoyment, but safety and care are essential to ensure it remains a positive part of your stay. By staying vigilant and adhering to these rules, you can enjoy this feature responsibly and make lasting memories.
Children: Always supervise children closely around the Swim Spa. It is not a substitute for a swimming pool, and its warm water and jets require careful attention. No running on the deck, NO DIVING, and always have an adult present.
Pregnant Guests or Those Taking Medications: Consult your doctor before using the Swim Spa. Prolonged exposure to warm water can raise body temperature and may not be suitable for everyone.
