Traveling is great, but eating out every night isn’t always ideal. Our “grill your own” service lets you choose from a variety of meats, salads, sides, and desserts, delivered right to your Casita on your chosen day. When you’re ready, toss your meat on the grill, grab a cold drink, and enjoy the view from your deck while enjoying your tasty, home-cooked meal.

Guests renting the Lodge will enjoy access to our full gym, which features 2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, 1 Concept 2 rower, as well as a squat rack with a pull-up bar, benches, a barbell with plates, and a weight tower. After your workout, relax and sweat it out in the sauna or steam room.

Book a relaxing massage or other spa treatment right in your own Casita or the Lodge. Call ahead to book your session prior to your arrival.
