COVID-19 addendum. As local business policies are changing by the day due to the governors constantly changing and updating rules, we are monitoring local rules by the hour. Many businesses are working to protect their employees from exposure to Covid in fear of outsiders bringing it to our secluded paradise. Some businesses are requiring a 24 hour duration in between outsider contact before performing services. Certain services may not be available at a moments notice as a result of this global pandemic which is clearly beyond anyone’s control. We do our best to make all reasonable accommodations but please understand that certain luxuries may be forfeited as a result of the pandemic and/or the media exacerbating the situation as many people are scared for their safety with recent updates in the news.No smokingNo petsNo parties or eventsCheck-in is 4:00 PM - 2:00 AM (next day)
