The pool heating system uses a significant amount of natural gas, so activating it incurs a daily fee of $150 (plus tax). This fee will be billed prior to your arrival if you request pool heating.

The hot tub is included in your nightly rate and can be easily heated using the backyard controls. Please allow up to 2 hours for it to reach 100-102°F, depending on the outside temperature.

We welcome one dog only (up to 60 lbs) for a fee of $150 per stay. This fee helps cover the additional cleaning required for pet hair.
