🏡 A Few Friendly Guidelines (How to Be an Awesome Guest) 🛠 If You Use It, please respect It If you open it—close it. If you borrow it—return it. If you turn it on—turn it off. If you make a mess—clean it up. If you move it—put it back. Basic stuff, but it goes a long way.

🪪 ID Verification If you booked outside of Airbnb, we’ll send you a secure link to upload your driver’s license and credit card. The name on both must match the reservation holder. All sensitive info is deleted after check-out. Why? Because these platforms don’t share ID verification with us. It’s how we protect our home and ensure smooth, safe stays—especially for first-time guests.

🔧 Resolving Issues & Refund Policy We fix problems—we don’t hand out refunds for fun. If something comes up, message us right away. We’ll take action to get things back on track. If a guest refuses our help or reports issues only after check-out, they forfeit any right to compensation. If you leave early without an approved change to your reservation, no refund will be provided.

❌ Cancellations You can cancel any time before or during your trip, but charges apply per the cancellation policy shown in your reservation. Leaving early without an approved alteration = no refund. If your reservation is canceled during your stay (by you, the platform, or us), the stay is over. Guests must vacate the home within 30 minutes. Staying longer = $100/hour + 3x nightly rate, and we reserve the right to notify authorities and pursue legal action if necessary.

🔑 Access Our team may occasionally need to enter the property for maintenance. We’ll always be respectful and aim to give notice in advance.

⏰ Check-In Check-in time is listed in your booking. Want early check-in? We may be able to accommodate for $25/hour. Message us after 9 AM on the day of arrival with your request. If approved, we’ll send a payment link and your early access code.

⏳ Checkout Check-out time is firm. Need a little extra time? Message us by 10 PM the night before, and we may approve late checkout for $25/hour (up to 4 hours). Unauthorized late checkouts = $100/hour + 3x the daily rate, and may result in removal to prep for incoming guests.

👥 Occupancy Do not exceed the maximum number of guests. Extra guests will be charged $300 per person per day.
