Safety: It's recommended if you have small children to use the door lock on the pool door and the pool alarm in the corner of the pool. To use the pool alarm there is an on/off switch on the back as well as a swim and reset button. The pool and hot tub are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK and all children must be supervised by a responsible adult. Absolutely NO diving. 2. Maintenance: The pool is serviced regularly twice a week, typically around 10-11 a.m. Tuesdays & Fridays for about 10-15 minutes, even when guests are present. The pool company will knock and announce themselves before entering to treat the pool. They have their own door code. Occasionally, the pool specialist may have to treat the pool, in which case the pool would be inaccessible for 2 hours. This is to maintain proper functioning of the pool and safety for our guests. 3. The pool water and pool room must remain at specific, controlled temperatures in order to function properly. At certain times of the year and for different people, the room or pool may feel too hot or cold. Though we like to accommodate our guests in any way we can, the pool temperature can only fluctuate 2-3 degrees and is controlled by the hosts. 4. Please keep all doors to the pool room closed. 5. DO NOT PUT SOAP IN THE POOL OR HOT TUB!!!! ☆We love families and encourage them to stay, but please note that the cabin is not baby- or toddler-proofed. ☆Availability of amenities cannot be guaranteed. They break or need repairs, though rarely. No refunds will be provided. ☆We supply you with the following Basic Starter Kit: rolls of toilet paper, soap, paper towels, dish liquid, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, and dryer sheets. If you plan to stay longer than 2-3 days you will most likely need to provide your own once the starter kit runs out. ☆Hot tub is emptied and cleaned after each guest's stay. Please note that hot tubs take a while to heat up. So depending on what time the property was cleaned, your hot tub may not be hot upon arrival. Do not put anything in the hot tub and keep the cover on it when not in use. ☆*NEW* Grocery Delivery Service! Guests can pay to have groceries delivered to their cabin before their arrival or any time during their stay for a fee through a local business partnership.
