(this doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying yourselves; it just means that if you're still up having a good time with your group past 9 pm, we just need for you to take it inside the house behind closed doors and windows. The idea is so that our neighbors can't hear you. We, like most vacation homes, are located in neighborhoods where people go to bed early and wake up early to go to work, so we must ensure our guests are respectful of this.)
NOTE -Violations of these rules may result in fines, and/or being asked to vacate the home at any time without refund. If this home is a good fit for you and your group, and you decide to book, please message us when you book to acknowledge that you have read and agree to these house rules above and the disclaimers below.

Other things to note:
Warning! The swimming pool at this property does not have a child-proof barrier around it and, therefore, can be very dangerous to toddlers, small children, pets, or anyone who can't swim. It is very important that you communicate this to everyone in your group, and that all adults take on the responsibility of being vigilant and protecting those most vulnerable. Please also inform the children of the dangers of drowning and to keep away from the pool when no adults are present. If you book this house, you assume full responsibility for yourself and your group in regard to this particular hazard.
Pool heat: This pool is a “heated pool”, and like all heated pools, it runs on a solar system that turns on automatically when it’s sunny and when the air is warm (80°+) which is usually between May and October. The solar system will likely not run between November and April unless we have an odd warm day. Note that a very nice pool temperature is between 85° and 87° and outside air temperature needs to be very close to that or higher in order for the pool to reach and hold that temperature.
Jacuzzi heat: We control the pool/jacuzzi equipment remotely via a phone app. Just notify us when you want it on and off. Depending on the outside air temperature and the starting temperature of the water, it could take 30 minutes to 1 hour to heat.
This jacuzzi is heated with propane, so we charge a $20/hr fee to cover this cost.
We round up to the full hour and keep track of the total hours used, then bill you on the last night of your stay, or after the first 10 hours of use, whichever comes first.
POOL RULES:
* Glass in or near the pool or jacuzzi is not allowed.
* Running around the pool is not allowed.
* Screaming, yelling, or loud music is not allowed.
* Any noise (audible from outside) is not allowed past 9 pm.
* Please do not remove the pool cleaner/vacuum from the pool. If you do, be sure to disconnect the hose from the skimmer on the side of the pool, and make sure to pug it back in and put it in the water after you’re done using the pool for the day.
The pool area is private and for your use only, no one else has access to it.
Guests are welcome to walk around the 5-acre property and check out all the animals in the different enclosures -FROM OUTSIDE THE FENCING! (guided tours inside the enclosures are available upon request).

Q & As:
Q: Can you explain the rooms behind the master suite? How many kids would be able to comfortably stay in that area? What is the bed set up?
A: The two small rooms in the back are separated by the main master suite's bathroom area. The two small rooms can be accessed through two of the master suites and they also have their own door to the outside of the home. The larger of these two small rooms has a daybed with a pop-up trundle, so essentially two twin beds that can be used either separately or together to make a king-size bed; The other little room has two XL twin portable hotel beds that can be used either there in that small room or can be wheeled over to any place in the house you wish. Either 4 kids or 4 adults could sleep on these beds.
