PLEASE NOTE: Our hot tub service is on Thursday. If you are renting mid-week, we have directions for a shock treatment for you to do (we will leave directions on the fridge). Also, we store the lawn furniture in the garage from October until May. It is very windy, rainy and snowy and it blows debris on the deck every single day. We do have a lawn service blow off the deck weekly, but in one day it can get debris on it again. If you get exceptional weather on your visit in the spring, you are welcome to bring up the furniture if you want to bring it back at the end, but please know the deck will look like decks do in the winter and early spring with extreme weather.
