Parking Space: Only 3 🚘Cars are allowed, including temporary cars for any visitors you may have during your stay. There is not enough space for more than 3 cars without blocking the neighbor's driveways. There is additional parking available up-street, see the guidebook for details. Any extra cars or cars blocking neighbors driveways may get towed away at car owner's expense.

Dock Use: We have a 3 slip dock on the river that is perfect for launching kayaks, fishing, swimming. It can also be used for JetSkis and Small boats (18 ft.) It is not a standard dock - contact us beforehand if you plan to bring along your boat/PWC. Please note that the access to the dock is rocky without support rails and can change with changing water levels (see pictures)

Hot Tub Cleaning: We shock (chlorine treatment) hot tub water after every guest stay and add chemicals to balance alkanity, PH levels and completely change water at-least monthly or more frequently as needed. The shock treatment process can take 12-24 hours during which time you may notice a brown tint or green tint or cloudy water. The hot tub is completely safe to use during this process. IF at anytime we feel the water condition is unsafe, we will inform you and completely replace the water. Depending on the weather conditions, it can take up to 48 hours for fresh water to reach desired temperature. IF this results in hot tub not being available for your stay, either partially or full duration, we may offer partial refund at our discretion.
