We provide a self-serve breakfast package for your stay. It usually includes:
Fresh fruit (typically bananas and apples)
Apple and orange juice
Granola
Yogurt
Instant oatmeal
Small cookies or sweet snacks

The hot tub is completely private and reserved exclusively for your use during your stay. We host only one guest suite, and the hot tub is located in the backyard dedicated to that suite, so it is never shared with other guests.
To respect your privacy, we do not use the backyard during your stay.
There are a few operational exceptions:
For longer stays, we may need to briefly access the yard for routine maintenance (for example lawn care). This is always coordinated with you in advance.
We perform a quick daily hot tub check to ensure water quality and cleanliness. This typically happens:
early in the morning (around 7:00 AM), or
when you are out, if your vehicle is not present
This process takes only a few minutes and is done discreetly to ensure the hot tub remains in optimal condition for your use.
