We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding unauthorized parties, illegal behavior and allowing unregistered guests onto our property. We are on a private well that draws spring water from the mountains, as a result the water is rich with minerals which leave behind water spots that are sometimes hard to remove. You may occasionally find such spots on utensils, hard surfaces & in the toilet, rest assured that everything has been cleaned by our cleaning team. As part of mountain living, you may occasionally encounter wildlife, such as deer and turkeys, as well as smaller critters like ants, spiders, bees, and other insects. While we take every precaution, including regular professional pest control, these critters may sometimes find their way in, that's why it's extremely important to keep doors closed.
