02 / BRING YOUR PEOPLE
Good guests. Better boat days.
Share expectations before everyone reaches the dock. Sun Rum's Boat Guest Rules bring a little humor to the conversation about snacks, shoes, cleanup, and being invited back.

These are guest-etiquette printables. Follow the operator's instructions and the rules that apply where you boat.
FOR LAKE-HOUSE & CABIN HOSTS
Give guests one place for the details.
Start with three things guests need before arrival: how to find the house, what is already provided, and how to reach you. Keep entry codes in a private message rather than a publicly shared guide.
Ready to bring arrival notes, house details, local favorites and checkout instructions together? Personalize the Sun Rum Lake Stay Welcome Kit in Canva, with Letter and A4 PDF companions for the house.

Digital DIY template kit. Delivery follows order review and manual fulfillment. No physical book is shipped.
03 / MAKE IT A MEMORY
Keep more than the photos.
The meal everyone talked about. The unexpected guest. The story that gets better every time someone tells it. Leave a place to write it down while it is still fresh.

Your five-minute weekend huddle
- Who is bringing what? Assign the shared items before three people pack the same thing.
- What is the first meal? Keep arrival easy and account for your group's food needs.
- What changes with the weather? Check the forecast and local conditions before leaving.
- What is the backup plan? Pick something everyone can enjoy away from the water.
- How do we leave it? Agree on cleanup and the trip home before the last morning.
WHEN THE SEASON CHANGES
The lake isn't just for swimming.
Coffee with a view, an easy walk, a shared meal, and a rainy-day backup. Make room for a slower weekend with people you enjoy.
