RULES:

For cancellations, please note that the 3.5% credit card processing fee on any amount paid is non-refundable.

We charge a minimum of $150 for an unapproved late checkout.

Smoking is strictly prohibited on our property. You can smoke outside the property, but we will just ask to make sure the smoke doesn't go inside and dispose of cigarette butts properly. Violation of our non-smoking policy will result in a minimum fee of $500.

We only host groups where the primary renter is above the age of 25+ years old. Will need ID verification.

Pet Fee is $175, max 2. This is a one-time, non-refundable fee as it causes a lot of extra cleaning for our crew, extra wear, and tear on the house and we have to shampoo the furniture as we have some guests who are allergic to pets.

Heads up: If the temperature drops below 40°F, certain functions of the pool or spa may not be available, including heating.

No events, parties, or additional guests beyond the number on your reservation without permission. An additional event fee will be charged.

Guests are welcome to enjoy the outdoor areas after 10:00 p.m.; however, we kindly ask that there be no amplified music, shouting, or loud partying. If this rule is not respected, we will have to enforce a no-noise policy outdoors after 10:00 p.m. for the remainder of your stay. Additionally, if the police are called due to a noise complaint, guests will be charged a $500 fee, which reflects the fine we receive.

Winter Notice:
The outdoor shower and outdoor bar sinks are turned off during the winter months (December–January) to prevent pipe freezing. All indoor water features remain fully operational. Thank you for your understanding!
