    Use Lake.com’s secure messaging platform to clarify details with your host, including how to access the property and any safety features you should be aware of.

  • Safety Walk-Through

    Upon arrival, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the property. Locate all exits, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits. If you’re staying with children, identify any potential hazards to keep them safe.

  • Check-In with Loved Ones

    Share your travel itinerary and accommodation details with a friend or family member. Keeping someone informed of your whereabouts is a key safety practice.

Advice on How to Secure Personal Belongings and Ensure Personal Safety

  • Secure Your Belongings

     Even in the safest communities, it’s wise to take precautions. Use safes if available, and keep valuable items out of sight.

  • Emergency Preparedness

    Always have a plan. Know the local emergency numbers, and have a small emergency kit with essentials. Discuss a meet-up plan with your travel companions in case of separation without cell service.
