Hot Tub Addendum
This Rental Agreement Addendum is incorporated into and made part of the Rental Agreement executed by the owner and the Guest, referring to and incorporating the rented home. There are health risks associated with the use of hot tubs. Guest agrees to use the hot tub at their own risk. The Owner(s) will not be responsible for any injuries sustained by the Guest or the members of the Guest's party when using the hot tub. Guest who signs this agreement will be responsible to advise all other members of their party of all potential hot tub hazards and rules. Before unlocking or using the hot tub, Guest(s) must completely review and understand the hot tub operating procedures found in the Rental Instructions as well as the safety items listed on this page. The Guest is responsible for operating the hot tub in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Shower before and after using the hot tub. This is because some lotions or makeup mixed with the hot tub chemicals can cause a rash. Showering after hot tub use will lessen the likelihood of rashes related to exposure to the hot tub chemicals. Never wear jewelry into a hot tub due to the chemicals used. Hot tub chemicals can also affect color-treated hair or damage swimsuits. If you have any medical condition (such as but not limited to, heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes, obesity) or are taking any type of drugs please consult your physician before using the hot tub. Persons who have skin sensitivities or open wounds should not use the hot tub. If you have consumed or are consuming alcoholic beverages or drugs or have a medical condition that in conjunction with hot tub use may result in drowsiness, do not use the hot tub due to the possibility of losing consciousness with the possibility of drowning. Guest agrees not to use and not allow members of Guest's party to use any type of soaps, shampoo, lotions, bubbles, glitter, or bath oils in the hot tub, as damage to the hot tub and/or skin irritation may occur. If evidence of use of shampoo, bubbles, lotions, bath oils, or other substances is found in the hot tub, your entire Rental (damage) Deposit will be forfeited. Do not take any products or items into or around the hot tub, including glass, which may clog the filter, damage the hot tub, endanger persons, or cause injury, or skin irritation.
Do not submerge your head, ingest the water, or allow the water to contact your eyes. The Guest is responsible for keeping the hot tub clear of debris and keeping the area around the hot tub clear of obstructions, neat and organized.
Guest is responsible for the full cost that may be due for repair and/or replacement of the hot tub that is required as a result of negligence or misuse by the Guest, or the members of the Guest's party, above and beyond the amount of the Rental (damage) Deposit. Minors must be supervised by a capable adult age 23 or over at all times while in and around the hot tub. Inspect the hot tub water before use. If too hot, cloudy, dirty, gritty, smells unusual, or you have any concerns about the water quality, DO NOT USE THE HOT TUB and call the owners or maintenance for service. The cover must be placed back on the hot tub when not in use or not supervised. This keeps the water warm, prevents debris from entering the water, and keeps minors or unauthorized persons from entering the hot tub. Do not use the hot tub if any of the suction fittings have been removed. DO NOT CLIMB, LEAN, SIT OR STAND ON THE HOT TUB COVER. A damaged/broken hot tub cover will result in $100 charge to the Guest. Guest understands that the hot tub is strictly an amenity, and the use of the amenity is not guaranteed under the terms of the rental Agreement. Any interruption or non-availability of the hot tub will not violate the terms of the Rental Agreement. If the hot tub is used frequently during your stay, be aware that the build-up of bacteria, body oils, and other foreign matter may overwhelm the hot tub's ability to neutralize the bacteria and properly sanitize and filter the water. If you have concerns related to heavy usage, please text us and we will arrange for servicing (treatment and filter replacement) during your stay if possible. If you notice any water quality issues, such as cloudy, dirty, gritty, or smelly water, DO NOT USE THE HOT TUB and call the owners or maintenance for service. If using the hot tub after 10:00 PM, be considerate of the neighbors by keeping all noise to a low level. Failure to comply may result in denial of continued occupancy per the Rental Agreement and forfeiture of your Rental deposit and rent.
In the case of a hot tub emergency call 911. The emergency electrical disconnect for the hot tub is located near the hot tub. By booking via VRBO, you have acknowledged that you have read and agree to all rules, terms and conditions associated with this listing and have therefore also read, understood and consent to these hot tub rules.

Great little Getaway!
The Boathouse is a charming little getaway. Enjoyed our stay. Cabin is cozy and very clean. Has a lot of character and a great view! We were able to kayak, eat out, do some shopping and just explore the area. Felt very pampered with all the little extras throughout! The outdoor hot tub and indoor spa tub were an added bonus! Would definitely return!

Over the top amazing! Our best VRBO experience ever!
Our stay at the boat house was nothing short of exceptional and the best VRBO experience we have ever had. My wife and I decided to make a trip up to Pine Knob music theater for a 2 night concert to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. I did make a note of this to the host when booking. The host so graciously and thoughtfully placed rose pedals throughout the space, as well as some delicious chocolates, a small bottle of champagne, and swan molded towels in the beautiful bathroom. This place was also spotlessly clean! This was a huge win as my wife could relax and not worry about cleaning (she's a clean freak). The coffee / tea bar is amazing with a variety of choices, flavors, and condiments. They even supply some delicious oatmeal for a quick breakfast. Everything about our stay was a 10 out of 10. The communication with the host was top tier and it really shows they care about the quality of their guests stay. We did not get to spend any time on the water which we planned, as we chose to spend more quality time with one another. The hot tub was clean and well taken care of, as well as the indoor jetted tub which was also enjoyed. They provided all sorts of shampoos, soaps, exfoliating agents, relaxing bath salts, toothbrushes, and anything you would need, or maybe forgot. They really put a lot of thought and love into this property. The exterior looks almost brand new, so the property is very well kept up. We will most definitely be back again! Book it!

Wonderful, peaceful little hideaway
This boathouse is small but so very comfortable - set up beautifully with nice little touches of gifts (chocolates, etc) and breakfast prep (eggs/butter/OJ/oatmeal cups). The outside deck is peaceful and secluded with a hot tub (which we did not have time to enjoy). It is located in a quiet neighborhood - a mere 30 minutes from Pine Knob if you have concert tickets. I would recommend it as a solo 'get-away' retreat or as a weekend 'honeymoon' for couples. Additional niceties - jetted tub and walk-on shower with music. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Boathouse
We stayed for our 16th wedding anniversary and it was marvelous. All the amenities were above and beyond any expectations. We loved it. We especially loved the cozy atmosphere, little reading nook, and private patio. It was such a nice place to celebrate.

Summer getaway
The Boathouse has very nicely decorated and on a perfect spot on the water. The bed was comfortable and the chairs overlooking the water were a perfect place to lounge with a good summer book. The small town of Linden didn't have much to offer but the neighboring town of Fenton was charming. One thing I would add, is an umbrella on the side deck as the afternoon sun did get a little warm. Overall, a wonderful stay that I would recommend for a quiet couples retreat.

Uncomfortable
The location was immaculate. Everything was as shown in the photos of the property. However my husband and I felt very uncomfortable at the location. We feel as though it was a ethnicity issue. We decided not to stay after about 2 hours there.

Romantic Weekend
I loved this property so much! This would be a great getaway for any couple looking for a romantic weekend any time of the year. We really enjoyed the kayaks and hot tub. The property is a short walk away from downtown with a few nice restaurants and bars to stop at. Brandy was an amazing host and left us little treats for the weekend and made sure our stay was comfortable. Will definitely stay again!

The property is more beautiful than described. The amenities were all in good condition and bed was very comfortable as well. The jetted bathtub and spacious shower were the highlight of the stay for us! The property owner goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is available for you, including herself for any assistance that you may need! Definitely will return in the future!
