    We are trying hard to learn as much as we can and do everything as environmentally friendly as possible. Water conservation has always been important to us and we are educating ourselves constantly on these issues. We have a small pool in line with all of our other efforts to conserve water. Energy efficient hot water heaters, and lighting fixtures and bulbs. We have just switched to a completely eco-friendly printer for all of our printing needs. We participate in the Project Planet program for all of our linen usage to encourage our guest's to reuse towels and bedding rather than change them daily.
