♨️ Hot Tub Notice – Please Read 😊
📌 If a previous guest violates usage guidelines, the hot tub may be drained, cleaned, and refilled before your stay for safety, which may take until the evening of the first night to heat up.
📌 Professionally serviced after every reservation with time-stamped photos kept on file. Additional hot tub cleaning requested during your stay incurs an extra fee billed to the guest.
📌 Rinse off lotions, sunscreen, and body oils before use to maintain water clarity.
🌡️ Pool Heating Notice – Please Read 😊
📌 Pool heat requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
📌 As temps drop, note the pool is uncovered — on very cold nights the heater may not fully reach target temp. Normal seasonal behavior, not a maintenance issue.
🍂 Fall Pool Notice – Please Read 😊
📌 As we move into fall, falling leaves are a natural part of enjoying an open, heated pool this time of year — our pool is professionally serviced on a regular schedule, but some leaves may land in the water between cleanings regardless of what you or we do, and that isn't a sign of poor maintenance.
📌 If you'd like the pool cleaned again mid-stay, just ask! This is available for an additional fee of $150 and will be billed to the guest.
