Therefore, enjoyment of our pool and gardens will be during days and times that are mutually agreeable between guest and host. Parties are prohibited. Staying overnight guests are not permitted to invite their friends and family to our home and pool. However, other guests of your host might also enjoy our pool when you are poolside.

Once you leave your private patio, you are also likely to meet our dogs Abigail and Penelope, gentle, friendly golden retrievers. They are not permitted on your private patio.
