Failure to follow these warnings and instructions can result in serious injury or death to users, especially children. (NO Diving!) Diving or jumping may cause death, paralysis, or permanent injury. (DO NOT USE) - Safety measures intended to reduce accidents resulting from thunderstorms and lightning include the following: Preferably, any sight of lightning should prompt immediate evacuation of the pool. It is definitely NOT safe to swim when lightning is in the area in any type of water. Even if current thunder/lightning storms are a few miles away, lightning can pop up in new parts of the storm very quickly. (NEVER) have electricity near the pool (extension cords, string lights, etc.) NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN A POOL. Pools present a drowning risk, no matter their size or depth. Children should never be left unattended in a pool, whether stock tanks or not. Even though a stock tank is 2' shallow they still present a drowning and safety hazard. Children and adults can drown in as little as 6" of water. It is up to you to evaluate whether a pool, stock tank or not, is safe for you and your family. And just for good measure, we'll say it again NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN A POOL. MODIFY RESERVATION POLICY Change Fee: A $65 change fee that will apply if you modify your reservation dates.

HOT TUB WARNING: Use of any hot tub, and/or fireplace carries risk that may result in serious injury or death. NO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 12 ARE PERMITTED TO USE THE HOT TUB AT ANY TIME. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) state that becoming overheated in a hot tub is not recommended during pregnancy. Elderly persons and anyone subject to heart disease, diabetes, low or high blood pressure, strokes, epilepsy or similar afflictions should not enter the hot tub without consulting their physician. Never use a spa while under the influence of drugs or alcohol or if you are taking medications of any kind, or being treated for any illness. The spa should be kept at a temperature less than 104 degrees for personal safety and all bathers must shower before and after use to decrease the possibility of skin problems. DO NOT SIT OR WALK ON THE SPA COVER, or it will collapse. Hot Tub Temperature disclosures and guidelines: - The temperature of the hot tub water should never exceed 104°F. Exceeding this limit can pose serious health risks. Water temperatures above 104°F can lead to dangerous conditions such as heat stroke, overheating, or nausea. Soaking in water that is 106°F or higher can raise the body's core temperature, which may result in heat stroke or impair the body’s ability to regulate its internal temperature. This can be fatal, even for healthy adults. - For comfort, many users find that a temperature between 100°F and 102°F is ideal for soaking. - The hot tub's temperature is carefully regulated for your safety, and adjustments beyond 104°F are not permitted. During the warmer months, hot tubs may overheat despite changes made on the control panel. This is often influenced by the outdoor temperature, which can affect the water temperature. If the hot tub becomes too hot, we strongly advise against using it until it cools down to a safer level.
