Existing bedding must remain in bedrooms; mattresses & furniture may not be relocated or moved to accommodate registered or unregistered guests. The lodge has been decorated with style, care & function in mind. All beds/futons have mattress/pillow protectors, as well as fitted & loose sheets to ensure & maintain cleanliness & sanitary conditions for our guests. Please keep this in mind & respect house rules to avoid additional charges. Do not sleep on futons without appropriate bedding. Talk to the manager if you have any concerns or questions about this, we want our guests to have the best experience possible. We are flexible & desire to accommodate your family/room arrangements ahead of time before you arrive.

Pets are not permitted, except in special circumstances (please ask!). We try our best to maintain & provide a hypo-allergenic environment indoors to allergy-sensitive customers (& especially since some of our own family members have allergies). We make our own natural air-fresheners gels with essential oils, we use Pharmacopia amenities, & our detergents are natural, mild & unscented (if possible). Service dogs will gladly be accommodated & extra effort will be made to ensure that this standard is maintained for the safety of all guests/owners.

**Notify the manager ahead of time if you plan to have visitors during your stay. This has to be discussed & approved. There is a Day-Fee per guest for using the facilities but not staying over-night.

Important information: We are rural & have a well for water supply. We promote conservation whenever possible & must warn guests that excessive water use by many at the same time will put undo pressure on the pump, which may in turn cause the pump to shut off & need to be reset. If it happens just let us know & we will reset it. We also have two 80-gallon hot water tanks that should provide more than enough water in the lodge. Please be mindful of this & courteous to others by not wasting water & having long excessive showers. Also please hang your bath & spa towels to dry since we only replace them after 3 days, unless extraordinary circumstances apply.
Please use recycling containers provided. Thank you for your consideration :)

We are always trying to make improvements to our space to better accommodate our guests. Let us know if something needs attention, sometimes we may unintentionally miss something between bookings.
