facility policy

All visitors to The Farmer’s House are required be registered and must complete a facility and site waiver. Failure to register or submit a completed waiver could mean a cancellation of your booking without notice. Unregistered visitors will lead to an immediate cancellation of your booking.

All use of the facilities on site (pool, hot tub, sauna, trails, farmhouse) are all use at your own risk.  The Farmer's House will not be held liable for damage or injury.  

Guests are granted use of the pool for 2 hours of each day of their stay.  Please notify us of your desired time at least 24 hours in advance.  We also offer 3 hour sessions, if you choose to forego you Sunday morning swim. We require a minimum of 3 hours to get the hot tub up to temperature.  Please bring proper floatation devices for children.  An adult (age 21+) must be present at all times when children are in the pool room. There is no lifeguard.  Use at your own risk.

Use of alcohol or drugs in the pool room/hot tub/sauna is prohibited.

Heat from the sauna and hot tub expands your blood vessels and increases your body temperature. So does alcohol. This can lead to heat exhaustion that can trigger unconsciousness, or even a stroke or heart attack. Symptoms include confusion and dizziness, fainting or fatigue, headache, nausea, extreme sweating and rapid heartbeat and elevated body temperature.

 

Weather-related road closures

We want your weekend getaway to be relaxing and enjoyable, but we also understand that unexpected weather events can impact travel plans. In the event of weather-related road closures, we have implemented the following policy to ensure the safety and convenience of all guests:

If a Road Closure Occurs on Your Check-In Day:

  • If weather-related road closures prevent you from reaching the property on your scheduled check-in day, your stay will be canceled, and you will receive a refund minus the $250 deposit.

  • We will work with you to reschedule your weekend getaway to another available date and apply the deposit to that booking.

If a Road Closure Occurs on Your Check-Out Day:

  • If weather-related road closures delay your departure on the scheduled check-out day, we will postpone your check-out time on the Sunday until the roads reopen.

  • If the roads do not reopen until after 9:00 PM on Sunday, we will allow you to stay an additional night at no extra cost.

  • Important: During this extended stay, access to the pool room will not be available.

  • If the roads reopen you must check out by 10:00 AM on Monday.

Guest Preparation:

  • We highly recommend that all guests prepare for winter driving conditions when traveling to and from The Farmer’s House.

  • Ensure your vehicle is equipped with snow tires and AWD/4WD, as road conditions may be hazardous.

Safety First:

  • Your safety is our priority. Please check weather forecasts and road conditions prior to travel, and exercise caution while driving.

We appreciate your understanding of these policies and look forward to hosting you on your weekend getaway. Stay safe, and let us know if you have any questions!

 

pet policy

Renters are responsible for any damage caused to the farmhouse or its contents by their pets during their stay.  Renters agree that a reasonable replacement/repair fee will be charged to their credit card if damage should occur. 

Pets are to be kept on leash on the groomed portion of our property.  Renters are asked to avoid walking their pets around the main house, so as to avoid causing our own pets discomfort. 

As we have our own dogs, (one being reactive) we ask that a line of communication (texting) is maintained during your stay so that each of our pets can enjoy its time outdoors. We have a standard schedule where we run our dogs in the lower part of the property (not visible to the farmhouse) twice per day, and are happy to adjust this timing if it interferes with your plans. We ask that your pets be indoors during these two 15-20 minute runs (8am and 4pm) that our dogs count on each day. As a precaution, and to avoid interaction, we will text you before letting our dogs out.

If your pet is off leash, on the other portions of the property, or on the trail systems, please understand that there are risks such as wild animals, other dogs, atvs, holes, cliffs and thorn bushes that could potentially harm your pet.  Please use caution, and only allow your pet off leash if they are fully trained with excellent recall.  Pets are prohibited from interaction with any local livestock located around the property.

Please use the dog beds or provided pet blankets if you allow your dogs on the furniture. It is appreciated that you ensure your pet’s paws are clean before you allow them into the farmhouse.

PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE INDOOR POOL.
