OTHER NOTES ABOUT THE HOME

☀ Pet-Friendly... SaltWood welcomes potty-trained, well-behaved pets (additional fees apply). We kindly ask that nails be trimmed as close to arrival as possible. This is due to the delicate nature of the floors and other materials around the house, and tell us if any accidents occur so we can advise the best way to care for the home.
☀ Privacy... The property is very private and quiet. Please note that we do have one neighbor on the Northside of the property, a very friendly family who is aware of guests coming and going. They will respect your privacy and we also ask that you do the same for them (be mindful of using drones, playing extremely loud music at night, etc...)
☀ The Japanese soaking tub... This is a, custom-built hot tub made for your enjoyment. Not to be confused with a store-bought jacuzzi, the jets in this tub were built for water and heat circulation (not massaging
