🏡 Welcome to Your Poconos Retreat! Please Read Our Friendly House Rules 💫

We’re thrilled to host you! To ensure a smooth and safe stay for everyone, here are some important (but easy!) rules:

1. Safety and Responsibility For your safety, please note that all amenities — including the hot tub, fire pit, games, exercise equipment, outdoor areas, and household items — must be used responsibly and at your own risk. By booking, you agree that you and your guests are responsible for your safety (and that of any children or visitors in your group).

The owners cannot be held liable for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses that may occur on the property or while using its amenities.

2. HOA Registration Our HOA requires reservation registration. Please provide the full names and ages of all guests at least 3 days before check-in so we can complete the registration. The HOA may charge a $75 late registration fee if guest information is submitted after their deadline.

3. Check-In/Out Times ⏰ Check-in: 4pm | Check-out: 10am Late check-outs without approval will result in additional charges: check-out time is exceeded = $50. Exceeded >1 hour = $250 (and booking will not be extended).

4. Late Check-out and Early Check-in available upon request (with fees)

• availability is not guaranteed. If not explicitly confirmed by your host, normal check-in and check-out times will apply.
• we charge $50 per additional hour to cover our re-scheduling and rush cleaning costs.
• max early check-in = 1pm
• max late check-out = 12pm
