🏓 PICKLEBALL COURT Guidelines

We’re excited to offer one of the few private pickleball courts in the Yosemite area! Please help us keep it safe and fun for everyone:

✅ Open daily: 8:00 AM–9:00 PM (respect quiet hours)
✅ Wear non-marking shoes only
✅ Equipment provided or bring your own paddles/balls
✅ Children must be supervised at all times
✅ Use at your own risk; by playing, guests accept all liability

🔥 HOT TUB Guidelines – Please Read Carefully
The hot tub is for your enjoyment, but it’s also delicate and costly to maintain. To ensure a safe and clean experience for all guests:

✅ Cleanliness & Clothing
* Shower before entering
* Swimwear only — no cotton shirts, pajamas, or regular clothes
* No soaps, oils, or lotions of any kind
💸 Improper use = $90 professional cleaning fee.
This includes entering in regular clothes or adding any product, which may cloud the water or damage the system.

🚫 No Debris
* No water balloons, confetti, food fights, or similar activities
* These can destroy the filtration system and result in full repair charges

✅ Hot Tub Safety
* Limit use to 15–20 minutes
* No glass near the tub
* Cover the tub when not in use
* Supervise children at all times

🚑 Health Notice
Consult a doctor before use if pregnant or sensitive to heat. Hydrate well before and after using.

⚠️ The property owners are not liable for any injuries resulting from use of the court, hot tub or surrounding areas.

⚠️ The hot tub is always heated and ready to use free of charge, as a courtesy provided by the host. It is a residential unit designed to maintain temperature gradually, especially in colder outdoor conditions, and takes extended time for full water volume to reach set temperature. Please note that hot tub availability is not guaranteed and does not constitute grounds for refund.

Other things to note
🧒 Supervision & Safety
Please supervise children at all times -- especially when using the hot tub, game room, or outdoor amenities. DO NOT leave children unattended. Safety first! 🌅🎮👀

🎲 Game Equipment & Outdoor Gear
We`ve stocked the house with games, toys, and fun outdoor equipment for all ages. You`re welcome to enjoy them during your stay! We kindly ask that you:

* Report any broken or missing items so we can replace them for future guests

🚫 Water Balloons & Debris Prohibited
Please do not use water balloons or any activity that produces debris (e.g. glitter, confetti, food fights) near the hot tub or yard areas. These clog and damage the hot tub`s filtration system and may result in repair charges.
Any damage caused by prohibited activities will be the guest’s financial responsibility.

🔥 Fire Safety & Restrictions
We are located in a high fire risk zone. For everyone’s safety:
