The waterfall is usually operational from May through September. The pool is treated with chlorine and tested daily, we swim in it daily and it's great. The waterfall can be used as massage as well, do bring your floaties. water temp stays at around 82 degrees all summer, due to the rock keeping the water cool and refreshing!

yes we allow dogs and cats 1500 per pet The VRBO invoice booking form has a box to check how many pets you have, add the amount there. Please brush your dog before you stay if it sheds a lot, thank you. No dog pooping or peeing in the backyard, dogs should use the side lot (pass the pontoon by the drainage ditch), we understand this isn't always possible, but do try using the side lot (by the drainage ditch). No un-attended dogs in the house unless they are trained, please bring a kennel if not. There is also a wooded lot above that's great for dogs, so keep that in mind for letting the dogs run loose and also has a great view. You may hike up to that lot via the north trail if you so choose. Coming soon: a gate and fence will be added between the home and garage so the backyard will be completely enclosed.
you may access gramercy park from the above lot as well This park also has a great view of the river valley with Dubuque Iowa in the background. There are nice pavilions, restrooms, river overlooks, hiking trails, and new playground equipment free to the public. Park closes at 10pm.
pitching a tent in the yard is permitted but it must be set up after 6 pm and taken down by 9 am each day so it doesn't harm the grass
