  • The karaoke set up at our cabin is meant for your personal enjoyment inside the cabin.
  • Quiet hours are in effect in the neighborhood from 10PM to 8AM, so please monitor the sound levels (see notes below on best sound levels). Any noise complaints from surrounding neighbors will result in additional fees for your stay.

Set Up Instructions

The karaoke set up consists of a JBL Bluetooth speaker, one wired microphone, and one wireless microphone.

Follow the instructions below to get started with the TV app and karaoke speaker.
