The water is routinely monitored and tested to ensure its quality. Occasionally, you may notice a slight discoloration or a different mineral taste — this is completely normal for well systems in our area and not a cause for concern. For guests who prefer, we provide filtered water on-site, and you’re also welcome to bring bottled water for drinking if that’s your preference. *Note About the Septic System The Hideaway operates on a septic system, so we kindly ask for a little extra care. Please avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper — no wipes, paper towels, or hygiene products, as these can easily clog the system and cause issues.
