By submitting a reservation request or using Instant Book, you confirm that you, and all members of your party or anyone accompanying you, have read, understand, and agree to abide by all House Rules listed below. You will also be required to eSign our rental agreement, which applies to both you and all guests in your group. Your stay is subject to full compliance with both the House Rules and the rental agreement.
Rental Agreement Required
All guests are required to electronically sign our rental agreement. You must also provide a valid email address so the agreement can be sent to you.
Rental Agreement Signing Deadlines
If your check-in date is 11 or more days after your reservation is accepted, you must provide your email address and sign the rental agreement within 5 days of booking.
If your check-in date is 10 days or less after your reservation is accepted, you must provide your email address and sign the rental agreement within 24 hours of booking.
Failure to complete the rental agreement within the applicable deadline will result in cancellation of the reservation. Completion of the rental agreement is a condition of maintaining your reservation. Booking the property does not waive this requirement. If you would like to review the rental agreement before booking, please send us an inquiry and we will provide it to you.
Booking Requirements
To get your booking approved, your Airbnb profile must have a clear photo showing your face, a verified email, phone number, and government ID. The minimum age to book is 25. We also require multiple 5 star reviews from multiple hosts.
Travel Insurance Recommendation
We strongly encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance to protect their trip. Our reservation follows Airbnb’s selected cancellation policy, and we are unable to offer refunds outside of that policy for circumstances beyond our control, including weather events, flight delays or cancellations, road closures, illness, or other travel disruptions.
Security Camera
There is one camera mounted at the front door, facing the doorway and driveway area. It records video only (no audio).
Occupancy & Visitors
Maximum occupancy is 2 people total (including infants and children). No additional guests or visitors are allowed. If more than 2 people arrive, your reservation will be canceled and no refund will be given.
Children & Safety
This cabin is not suitable for children or infants due to safety hazards, including a spiral staircase and lack of childproofing (such as blind cords and electrical outlet covers).
Check-In & Check-Out Times
Check-in is at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Please do not arrive before this time without prior approval, or your reservation may be canceled without refund. Check-out is at 10:00 AM Eastern Time. Late check-outs may result in a fee or damage claim per our rental agreement.
Pets
Maximum of 2 dogs allowed. Dogs are allowed only with prior approval and a $75 fee per dog. Dogs are NOT permitted on the leather couch. Because of the spiral staircase, many dogs may not be able to access the upstairs bedroom, so please bring your own dog bedding.
Smoking, Fires, and Prohibited Items
Smoking and vaping are not allowed inside the cabin. A $500 deep-cleaning fee will apply if evidence is found. Campfires, bonfires, candles, portable grills, portable fire pits, and fireworks are not allowed anywhere on the property. Only the indoor gas fireplace and existing outdoor propane grill may be used.
Grill & Fireplace Use
If you use the gas grill or fireplace, do not leave them unattended. Please clean the grill after it has cooled.
Plumbing Etiquette
Only toilet paper should be flushed. Do not flush wipes, feminine hygiene products, or anything else.
Quiet Hours & Noise
We ask that you respect the peace and privacy of the area. No loud music, parties, or disruptive behavior is permitted.
No Refunds for Inconveniences
This is a cabin in a natural, wooded environment. No refunds or discounts will be issued for wildlife sightings, pests (even with regular pest control), outages of power, internet, water, or cable, odors or natural scents, weather or road conditions, local noise, allergens, or changes to amenities due to maintenance. We do our best to respond quickly to issues, however, certain events are outside our control. These do not qualify for refunds, discounts, or other concessions.
Maintenance & Emergencies
We strive to keep everything in good working order. Please report issues right away so we can help. In rare cases, emergency maintenance may require access during your stay, or—if the home becomes unsafe—may require you to leave early. In those cases, a partial refund may be issued at our discretion. Disrespect toward any maintenance staff will result in cancellation without refund.
Chargebacks & Payment Disputes
By booking, you agree not to initiate any chargebacks or payment disputes for your stay. All concerns must be addressed directly with us. If you file an unauthorized dispute, you agree to cover all legal and administrative costs we incur in resolving it.
Liability & Indemnification
You agree to accept all risks associated with your stay and to hold the owners harmless from any injury, loss, or damage to persons or property. This includes any claims or costs arising from your use of the cabin and its amenities.
Outdoor Vehicles
ATVs, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, go-carts, and other off-road vehicles are only permitted for direct travel to and from the road using the driveway. Any property damage caused by these vehicles will result in a damage claim.
Bugs and Nature
We spray regularly, but as this is a cabin in the woods, you may still see bugs like ants or spiders from time to time.
Trash & Personal Belongings
Guests may only dispose of household trash generated during their stay. The disposal of personal items such as luggage, furniture, appliances, or other large/broken belongings is strictly prohibited. Any unauthorized dumping of personal items will result in an additional fee that you agree to pay after checkout of $75 per item so we can dispose of it properly.
Final Note
Our cabin isn’t perfect, but many guests find it to be a clean, cozy, and memorable retreat in the White Mountains as evidence by our guest reviews and guest ratings. If you expect absolute perfection (such as no leaves on the porch or no cobwebs in the rafters), we recommend booking one of the many other lovely properties in the area that better match those expectations.
If you have made it this far, thereby proving you've read all of our rules, please provide the following secret phrase "Checkout time is 10:00am" when you submit your reservation. You're amazing - Thank you for reading our house rules, and we look forward to hosting you!
