REGARDING PETS:

So please do not plan on bringing them and then leaving them alone in the house while you go on excursions, etc.

Also any dog (including service dogs) must be leashed at all times on premises.

Also, you must clean up after them or there will be a charge for that, thanks. (Sorry but we have learned things the hard way that we need to say these things).

Regarding Laundry:
- If you need to do laundry, the washer & dryer are located at the back of the Main House nearby (two story house with green porch, behind the red Lava Temple). However, please only do laundry from 8-10am; or 2-6pm as we are off-grid and also the cleaners need it from 10-2pm. Yes you can use our detergent. Plz dont leave your laundry sitting in the washer or dryer, thanks. Mahalo!

Mahalo nui loa for keeping this a safe, peaceful place! :)
