Authorization. To the maximum extent permitted by law and platform rules, GUEST authorizes MANAGER to charge the payment method on file (or request payment through the booking platform) for: (i) additional fees due under this Agreement (including unauthorized occupant charges, late checkout fees, excessive cleaning, or hot tub misuse), (ii) damages beyond normal wear and tear, and (iii) costs incurred due to breaches of this Agreement.
MANAGER will provide reasonable documentation (e.g., photos, invoices, receipts, or vendor statements) supporting such charges when available.
As part of MANAGER’s effort to help GUEST relax and enjoy the stay, MANAGER provides a damage waiver through a third-party program (e.g., Safely) covering accidental property or contents damage during the stay up to $3,000, subject to the provider’s terms, exclusions, and claim procedures. This protection is included in the Total Rental Cost.
Not Covered. The damage waiver typically does not cover intentional acts, theft, missing items, pet damage (if pets are not permitted), smoking remediation, excessive cleaning, or violations of house rules. GUEST remains responsible for all non-covered losses.
The cancellation policy is and is incorporated by reference from the booking platform or direct booking terms.
Date Changes / Reservation Modifications. GUEST acknowledges that online travel agencies and booking platforms (including Airbnb and VRBO) technically bind cancellation eligibility to the modified arrival date once a change is accepted on the platform. As a result, and to prevent circumvention of the cancellation policy, the following applies:
OTA Bookings. For reservations made through an online travel agency or booking platform, date-change requests submitted after the reservation has entered the cancellation window will not be approved if the effect would be to reset, extend, or avoid the applicable cancellation policy.
Direct Bookings. For direct bookings, any approved Modification does not reset or void the original cancellation policy, which remains tied to the original Arrival Date.
Discretion to Decline. MANAGER may decline any Modification request, in its sole discretion, particularly where the request would reasonably have the effect of avoiding cancellation penalties or materially increasing the risk of loss to MANAGER.
Courtesy Only; No Waiver. Approval of any Modification is a courtesy and shall not constitute a waiver of MANAGER’s rights under this Agreement or the applicable cancellation policy.
Cancellation for inability to access the Property due to road or weather conditions does not alter the cancellation policy. GUEST is strongly encouraged to purchase trip interruption insurance: . MANAGER will provide documentation reasonably necessary to support an insurance claim.
GUEST acknowledges that credit card “chargebacks” are governed by card networks and banks. However, initiating a chargeback that is inconsistent with the cancellation policy, house rules, or documented stay charges constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GUEST agrees to reimburse MANAGER for reasonable costs incurred in responding to, disputing, or collecting amounts related to an improper chargeback, including administrative fees, evidence preparation, and attorney fees and costs as allowed.
GUEST acknowledges that certain amenities and features may involve risks, including but not limited to hot tubs, pools, fire pits, bunk beds, bicycles, and kayaks (if provided). Use of any such amenity is at the user’s own risk. GUEST assumes all risks associated with use and agrees that MANAGER and OWNER are held harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law.
An exit cleaning fee is included in the Total Rental Cost and covers standard turnover cleaning only. Daily housekeeping services are not included.
Throughout the rental period, GUEST is responsible for keeping the Property clean and in good condition and for promptly reporting any unsafe or hazardous condition to MANAGER.
GUEST acknowledges that on the Arrival Date, the Property is in good condition and clean, except for any condition GUEST reports to MANAGER in writing within twenty-four (24) hours of check-in.
The Property must be left in substantially the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Excessive cleaning, misuse, or failure to follow the Rules may result in additional cleaning charges of up to two (2) times the standard cleaning fee, as permitted by law.
MANAGER attempts to properly maintain the Property. While all electrical and mechanical equipment is expected to be in good working order, MANAGER cannot guarantee against mechanical failure or interruption of electrical service, plumbing, water supply, heating, audio/visual equipment, internet access, streaming services, or appliances.
GUEST agrees to report any inoperative equipment or other maintenance issue to MANAGER immediately. MANAGER will make reasonable efforts to have repairs completed promptly. GUEST will allow MANAGER or authorized personnel access to the Property for repair and inspection.
MANAGER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THAT MAY OCCUR AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO REFUNDS OR RENT REDUCTIONS WILL BE MADE DUE TO FAILURE OF SUCH ITEMS.
If a mandatory evacuation order is issued by state or local authorities, GUEST shall be entitled to a prorated refund for each night GUEST is unable to occupy the Property during the reservation term.
MANAGER will not be liable or deemed in default for any failure to perform due to events outside MANAGER’s control, including acts of God, severe weather, utility outages, or governmental actions.
MANAGER and OWNER are not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or illness that occur to any member of the Rental Party or visitors while in or on the Property. MANAGER and OWNER are not responsible for loss of personal belongings or valuables.
GUEST assumes the risk of any harm arising from use of the Property and amenities. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MANAGER AND OWNER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE STAY.
GUEST will indemnify and hold harmless MANAGER and OWNER from any and all expenses, costs, damages, suits, actions, or liabilities arising from or related to (i) use or occupancy of the Property by the Rental Party or permitted visitors, or (ii) failure of any member of the Rental Party or visitors to observe the Rules or this Agreement.
If GUEST or any member of the Rental Party violates this Agreement (including maximum occupancy, visitors, or Rules), MANAGER may require GUEST and the Rental Party to vacate the Property and may terminate the reservation without refund to the maximum extent permitted by law and platform rules. GUEST remains responsible for all charges, damages, and costs resulting from any breach.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is physically located, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
Any dispute shall first be attempted to be resolved through good-faith mediation. If mediation is unsuccessful, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable rules, unless prohibited by law.
In any mediation, arbitration, or legal action arising out of or related to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, except where prohibited by law.
If amounts remain unpaid after demand, GUEST agrees that MANAGER may pursue collection through lawful means, and GUEST shall be responsible for reasonable collection costs, court costs, and attorney fees as permitted.
The Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement are confidential and may not be disclosed to third parties except as necessary for legal, tax, insurance, regulatory compliance, or pursuant to court order.
Nothing in this Agreement restricts GUEST from providing truthful reviews or statements regarding their stay, as protected by applicable consumer review laws.
However, GUEST agrees not to engage in retaliatory, abusive, knowingly false, misleading, or extortionate conduct, including but not limited to threats of negative reviews, posting false statements, or attempting to coerce refunds, fee waivers, or other concessions in exchange for refraining from posting a review.

This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement signed by both MANAGER and GUEST.
No waiver of any provision is effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving Party.
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
