    Someone will be onsite Monday evenings to service the hot tub and mow the grass in the back. They will enter through the side gate and will not be in the house.

    Do note the jet skis are NOT included during your stay. Please don't tie boats to the dock — it's built for people, not mooring.



    YOUR STORM PLAN, JUST IN CASE

    Below the sunroom floor is a below-ground storm shelter, reached through a trap door. If a tornado warning is issued during your stay, that is your spot. The rest of the time, please keep the trap door closed.
