* POOL AND SPA HEATING *
Pool heating is provided for free by our electric heat pump from March to October, with temperatures ranging from 75-85 degrees depending on season. In the winter we generally run our heat pump November and December keeping the pool at a still-swimmable 70 degree base temperature, and turn heat off January and February. To heat our pool additionally, we must use propane which is unfortunately expensive for a 35,000 gallon pool. We charge $40 for every 1 degree change in temperature (for example, $400 to raise the temperature from 70 to 80 degrees). Heating in winter must be requested prior to arrival. Heating the spa up to 104 is always free of charge. Guests are responsible for operation of pool controls and hosts can make no guarantees for pool temperature or equipment use.

* EVENTS AND RETREATS *
The house and grounds can be set up to accommodate small private events, such as retreats, intimate weddings and rehearsals. We have a limit of 60 people for outdoor events and 12 vehicles maximum. Parking is limited and we especially cannot block the private lane for fire safety. Please take care not to damage grounds, landscaping and irrigation. Guests are responsible for any additional furniture (chairs, tables), and all cleanup for the event. Event trash must be disposed by guests and not left on premises. Depending on the use, we charge an event fee of $50 per person above the first 30 guests. Please contact hosts with specific event plans. We are also happy to recommend personal chefs and local caterers for your special day.
