TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE MINIMUM REQUIRED STAY: When booking a stay that includes Sunday night, April 7, 2024, you will also be required to include Monday night, April 8, 2024 in your stay. This requirement is primarily due to the volume of visitors expected for the Eclipse viewing and the amount of traffic expected during this time, plus the conflict of check in/out time occurring in the middle of the Eclipse itself on Monday afternoon. Thank you for understanding.
BLUE-GREEN ALGAE:: Found in lakes year-round. Don't drink the water. Shower after you swim. More information.
