There is a special shelf in the kitchen with unbreakable glasses and water bottles. PLEASE USE ITEMS FROM THAT SHELF ONLY when enjoying the outside. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and our guests don’t tell us when glass is broken outside, resulting in tiny particles lingering for months and causing unpleasant injuries for us and future guests.I attempt to leave a minimal footprint and live green.
