You are offering them a gift worth well over $1,000.
I also like the idea of canceling their visit.
I think they are beyond rude.
That said I might ponder on one more simple email (that has few words) and then “hopefully” they don’t answer for 2 days then slam them with the cancellation.
That would totally justify it and make you feel better.
Good luck.

Good suggestion, as it allows them to come up with a way to meet the OP’s schedule. If no satisfactory reply from them, they cannot say they weren’t warned (twice).

Or even better: say that the OP has to cancel the offer as a lot of paying guests begging her to rent the place on those dates.
This offer is made for her benefit, not as a gift to the freeloaders.
If this gives the OP peace of mind, I don't get the resistance.
Guess you are not familiar with personal the liability insurance then...
Those people are ungrateful and uncouth.. if some accident happens on the way to the airport, etc - the OP could be sued...
The OP is already exposed to those things by letting them stay...why risk it more?
The visitors could afford airplane tickets- they should be able to afford to make their own arrangements
For some even wealthy people it is like a sport: what could they get for free? It seems sweeter to them...they pride themselves on getting free stuf and bragging about it..
I have met some people like that: find it deplorable

I posted that the transportation was for the benefit of the OP. Are you saying something different than I did that you're arguing with me?
The proper immediate response is that we will depart on xx; we are looking into other arrangements. There is no need to delay response as the issue is when they will vacate the property; not what other arrangements they are making.
The OP deserves an immediate response to assure her that they will be vacating the property. She shouldn't be left hanging. At this point the OP is preparing a follow-up (which she shouldn't have to do) and asked for ways to handle so a firm follow-up is in order.
If it were me, I'd be sending a second message:
As you have not responded, I assume you no longer wish to stay at our lake house and have opened it up for other guests to reserve.
