We live in the main house, so you may see us around. We will respect your use of the property and please let us know if we are not. We may use the pool/spa during your stay usually only when/if you leave the property. If you would prefer for us not to or would like for us to ask your permission first, please let us know. We want you to enjoy the property as much as possible. Never hesitate to text or call if we can make your stay more enjoyable.
The remote in the cottage allows you to change turn on and heat the hot tub. If the temperature remains above 50 degrees in late fall, winter, and early spring we will heat the pool to 80 degrees upon request. The pool heater cannot keep the pool heated if temperatures fall below 50 degrees. The spa can be used year round and at any temperature. We are happy to discuss the details of heating the pool with you prior to booking. There is a surveillance camera covering the pool and spa area. This is for the safety and security of the guests, the hosts, and the property.
