We’re in a quiet community on the Hood Canal, and loud noise carries across the water. Please be respectful of our neighbors when outside, at the dock, and fire pit areas. Do not walk onto neighbors’ property–it is considered trespassing. Quiet time is from 9pm to 8am PT. No parties or events are allowed. If it gets too rowdy and the police are called, you will forfeit any amounts paid, and all guests will be evicted immediately. Small family gatherings may be approved by the hosts with a visitor list provided in advance. Any unlisted guests will be asked to leave and considered trespassing.

We welcome families. Children should always be supervised, and it is required that everyone wears life jackets during any water-related activities.

Note: To make sure the hot tub is ready for you to enjoy, please check the temperature when you arrive. It may need a little time to heat up, especially if it was recently cleaned or reset.

To ensure safety and cleanliness, please follow these steps when using hot tub:

Do not use soaps, lotions, or oils in the Hot Tub. Shower beforehand. Misuse may result in extra hot tub cleaning fees.

Enter and exit the Hot Tub slowly. Please no jumping or diving.

Do not bring food or drinks in or near Hot Tub.

Limit hot tub sessions to 15 to 20 minutes.

Maintain the hot tub water temperature below 104°F.

For children under 10, restrict hot tub time to 5-10 minutes and keep the temperature no higher than 95°F. All children must be supervised at all times by adults.

Pregnant women, individuals with heart conditions, high blood pressure or other serious conditions should seek medical advice from their doctor before using a hot tub.

Please do not sit or lie down on hot tub cover

After each use, please cover the hot tub to keep debris from getting into the tub and allow the tub to maintain the water at a desired temperature.

If you intend to harvest shellfish, please obtain the necessary licenses and be knowledgeable of rules in the area. Guests are expected to follow the WA state’s shellfish harvesting regulations. Please protect the shellfish population! We’re not responsible for any fines incurred. Kindly do not cook or shuck oysters inside the home; this can cause plumbing issues. Consuming raw or undercooked shellfish may increase your risk of food-borne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions. Owners/Hosts are not held responsible for illnesses.

This Property is on a septic system. Don’t pour oil/grease in the drains. Do not shuck oysters indoor. Shells may clog up the pipes. We have an outdoor fish prepping station next to the boat house. DO NOT FLUSH anything other than toilet paper and bodily waste! NO paper towels, baby wipes, flushable wipes (they are not flushable for a sceptic system no matter what the package states).  If it is found that anything other than toilet paper has been flushed and clogged the system, you will be charged for damages.  

We have scheduled exterminator services, but being in a rural area, pests and wildlife are to be expected, especially in Spring and Summer. To minimize risk, please don’t leave food outside and secure garbage bags in closed containers. Avoid leaving food or containers on the patio, dock, swim spa, or firepit area. You might encounter wildlife such as deer, eagles, seals, raccoons, snakes, bugs, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, spiders, ants, etc. Prepare for these encounters, never approach wildlife, and exercise extreme caution. Be wildlife aware, especially with pets and children. Do not feed wildlife. These encounters are rare but possible. Thanks for your understanding.
