Landscaping: We wanted to let you know as well that our landscaping team will be on-site every other Friday, to keep the grounds looking their best. You might notice them during your stay, but they’ll be mindful not to disturb you.

As you may know, Texas is home to plenty of bugs, especially during cricket season. You may notice a few more of them around September and they’re completely harmless, though we understand they can be a bit pesky. Rest assured, we take proactive measures to manage them, and it shouldn’t pose a problem during your stay. To help keep them outside, please keep all windows and doors closed, especially in the evenings. If you happen to notice any inside, feel free to use the bug spray provided under the sink.
