HEATED POOL – INCLUDED IN YOUR BOOKING: Our pool is heated and kept at a comfortable 85–88°F, so it's warm and ready the moment you arrive, with no waiting for it to heat up. Pool heating is included in your booking total as a $34/night pool heating fee, so there are no additional charges or separate requests for new bookings. During July and August, when the pool doesn't require much heating, our nightly rates are reduced to offset it. Reservations booked before November 1, 2026 for later stays will receive a separate request for the pool heating fee through their booking platform.
Please help yourself & your group keep the pool warm: kindly put the pool cover back on whenever the pool isn't in use. Covering the pool protects your pool heat — an uncovered pool loses heat quickly, especially overnight.
Pool settings: The heater is professionally programmed. To protect the equipment and keep the temperature steady for every guest, please don't adjust or change the heater or pool settings. If anything doesn't seem right, just message us and we will take care of it as soon as possible.
