EXHIBIT "A" PROPERTY RULES AND REGULATIONS

GENERAL CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT ISSUES Check-In is no earlier than 4:00 PM Eastern and the Property must be vacated no later than 10:00 AM Eastern on the ending date of the reservation. Housekeeping must be able to enter by 10:00 AM Eastern. Housekeeping has a 6 hour cleaning period to get the Property ready for the next guest (the staff often has more than one cabin to clean during this period). Due to this tight frame for cleaning, Guest will not arrive early for Check-In or leave after Check-Out time. Guest's entry code(s) will only be active between 4:00 PM Eastern of the date of Check-In and 10:00 AM Eastern the date of Check-Out. For each 30 minutes Guest is late leaving, Owner will charge Guest $100.

CABIN SET UP The Property should be clean and set up with linens and supplies upon Guest's arrival. If the Property has not been cleaned upon Guest's arrival or if there are any cleaning issues, Guest will notify Owner immediately. Owner will endeavor to correct any problems, but Owner must be made aware of the problem when Guest arrives. Any damage noticed upon arrival should also be reported to Owner. If damage is not reported, Guest may be charged for the cost of the repair. In order for Guest to not be charged, the following must occur:

1. No damage is done to the Property or contents (including linens/towels);

2. No items are missing or damaged upon inventory check;

3. Dishes are put in the dishwasher and the dishwasher is started;

4. The Property is not left excessively dirty and all trash is put in the outside garbage can;

5. No evidence of smoking inside OR outside of the cabin;

6. No evidence of pets on the Property;

7. Adherence to Check-In/Check-Out policies; and

8. No damage to the hot tub or hot tub cover.

Again, if Guest notices any of the above upon arrival please notify Owner immediately. If something happens during Guest's stay, please also notify Owner as soon as possible so Owner is aware and can handle the situation appropriately. Please do not try to hide any damages. If Guest waits to tell Owner, Owner may not have enough time to fix the problem prior to the next guest's arrival. It is best to notify Owner of an incident as soon as it happens.

CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE Check-Out time is 10 AM Eastern. Guest's entry code(s) will be deactivated at that time. Guest is to leave the Property neat and orderly to avoid additional charges. If housekeeping finds the Property has been left excessively dirty or has to spend extra time getting the Property ready for the next guests, Guest may be billed for the additional cleaning at a rate of $100 per hour. Please leave the bed unmade with sheets and pillowcases left on. Used towels/washcloths/dish towels from bathrooms should be placed in the showers and tub. All trash should be put in the outside garbage can(s). Put any dirty dishes in dishwasher and start dishwasher. Close and lock all windows. Set the security alarm. Make sure the door is locked before leaving the Property.

AMENITIES Owner will not guarantee, but will try to provide, the following items: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, detergent for the washing machine, detergent for the dishwasher and 2-3 trash bags for the kitchen. These items are re-stocked after each stay as needed and are for Guest's use during Guest's stay. Depending on the length of Guest's stay, Guest may need to replenish these start up supplies. Guest is free to use the amenities during Guest's stay, but Guest is to leave what is left for the next guests. Bathroom toiletries must stay where they are.

HOT TUB Guest will use the hot tub at its own risk. Owner assumes no responsibility for hot tub use. Hot tub cover will break if anyone walks, sits, or lays on it.

If an individual has sensitive skin, such individual is prohibited from using the hot tub. Hot tub chemicals may bleach or discolor bathing suit and/or hair. Excessive movement will displace water which prevents proper jet operation. Call for service should water level get below jets/pumps. No electrical appliances within 3 feet of hot tub. Pregnant women should never use hot tub. No children under the age of 18 are allowed in hot tub at any time without adult supervision. Do not enter hot tub with glass, food, drink or while under the influence of alcohol. Alcohol is not allowed near the hot tub. No diving or rough-housing in hot tub. Owner recommends showering after using the hot tub. Guest expressly agrees that Owner will not be held responsible for any medical conditions incurred as a result of hot tub use. The housekeeper drains, sanitizes, refills, and replenishes chemicals in the hot tub prior to each stay. Therefore, it may take some time for it to warm up. The hot tub temperature should be set no lower than 95 degrees and no higher than 104 degrees.
