Hot Tub Rules — Relax & Recharge the Right Way

We want you to soak up every second of your stay — and that starts with keeping our hot tub sparkling and safe! Please follow these easy guidelines:

- Keep It Cozy: Leave the temp set to 100°F when not in use to keep it perfectly balanced.
- Cover It Up: Always close and lock the lid after soaking to keep the water clean and warm.
- Quick Rinse First: A fast shower = fresh, happy water for everyone!
- Keep It Simple: No food, alcohol spills, excessive lotions, bubble baths, pets, or anything funky in the water.
- Be Kind to the Cover: Treat with care, keep it clean and damage-free.
- Heads Up: Major cleanup (like drain & refill) from misuse = $300 fee.
- Power Down: Turn off the jets and re-cover when you're done relaxing.
- No Glass: Please stick to safe cups — broken glass is a no-go near the spa.
- Safety Zone: No running, jumping, or wild moves around the hot tub — kiddos must be supervised!
- Towel Off: Dry before heading inside to keep the floors cozy and slip-free.
- Be Safe: Watch your step and look out for each other around the hot tub area.

Enjoy the bubbles, the stars, and the pure mountain magic!

Soak under crisp mountain skies and bright winter stars — the perfect way to end your day after exploring the forest.
