Hearth Amenities
Bodhi will welcome you (unless he is on a walk
with guests). He is very friendly. His
 (minimal)
barking is to let us know that you are here. Please
do not allow him to jump on you to be petted. He
does listen and will obey a firm voice.
If we do not appear to greet you, please take the
rock walkway in front of the buildings over to the
large stairs. The dining room is up the stairs and
to the right.
Bodhi has the understanding that it is his
responsibility to protect the guests. He will want
to guide you along the trails, showing you his
favorite spots. If you don’t want him trailing
along, firmly tell him to “Go Home!” or "Stay." He
will be somewhat disappointed that you don't want
him along, but he will go home.
Phones
Please bring a phone card for your long-distance
calls. Alltel is the only cell-phone company that
will work here with certainty. AT&T has worked for
some. Other service providers usually cut in and
out.
Kid Friendly? Maybe, Depends
Rainbow Hearth is a retreat environment. For guests,
that means quiet, peaceful, nurturing, restful.For
parents who come to Rainbow Hearth to spend quality
one-on-one time with their children, this
environment works out well. They take the kids on
nature walks, do bird watching, fish, swim, play
games, etc.
There is no playground and the natural environment
is not one where kids can be turned out to play.
There are dangers, including prickly things,
slippery rocks by the water, and possibly (though
unlikely) a poisonous snake or insect.
When other guests are present, please do not allow
your children to be loud or to run around
unsupervised.
Also, there is no kids' menu, although we can make
some accommodations.
For parents who come here with that in mind, Rainbow
Hearth works out well. It is an environment free
from artificial stimulus and is a place to connect
with nature and your family without modern
distractions.
Pet Policy
Pets are allowed at Rainbow Hearth’s discretion
under special circumstances. You must call first and
speak with us about bringing your pet. The decision
partly depends on which suite you plan on staying
in, as some suites carry noise to other guest suites
and pets would potentially disturb other guests. It
also depends on the breed, temperament and manners
of the pet you are planning to bring. Pets must be
housebroken, cannot sleep on the furniture and
guests must clean up after their pets outside. $10
per day for each pet.
Your Satisfaction
Let us know right away if there is anything with
which you are dissatisfied so that we can correct it
immediately, if possible. Before you leave, we would
appreciate any suggestions you may have for us. Your
referrals are a sign that we are doing well and you
are our best advertising!
