🦟 Insects

Texas weather can naturally attract insects, especially in outdoor areas. While we do our best to maintain a comfortable environment, insects are a natural part of the local climate and are outside of our control. We recommend bringing insect repellent and, if desired, citronella candles for outdoor use during your stay.
