Parties/Noise: Parties in a short-term rental are against the law, including birthday parties, and against Airbnb policy. Please be mindful of our neighbors during your stay. The property's quiet hours of 10:00 pm to 8:00 am are in place to ensure that you and our whole community can enjoy a restful night's sleep. Do not hang out in the backyard at all after 10:00 pm.

Number of Guests: There will be a fee of $50 for each guest over the number booked unless discussed with us, even if the person does not stay the night. This is to prevent parties.

Parking: No parking in front of any house except our own home. There is enough parking in the garage, driveway, and in front of our home.

Check-Out/Cleaning: Checkout is no later than 11:00 am. Unfortunately, we can NOT offer late checkouts; any checkouts that occur after 11:00 am will incur a penalty fee of $100/hour. Please let us know the time you plan to check out so we can pass this information on to the housekeepers. We do a thorough cleaning between guests and we kindly ask that prior to leaving, you place any dishes in the dishwasher and start it, start a load of towels in the washing machine, and take out all of the trash. This is a large home and creates a lot of laundry, so this helps us keep the cleaning cost down. Leave the home basically as you found it when you arrived.

Restrooms: Please do not flush anything other than toilet paper down the toilet, including wet wipes and flushable wet wipes.

Smoking: Our home is a non-smoking home, please only smoke in the backyard. It is dangerous to smoke inside and we can't get the smell out for days. If we find ashes from cigarettes or marijuana or the house smells of it, there will be a $300 fine.

Lost Items: Please do not forget anything in the home. Unfortunately, we cannot package and ship things that are left behind.

Candles: We do not allow candles in the home, this is an extreme fire hazard.

Damage: We understand that accidents happen. We ask that you please let us know when something is broken so that we can replace or repair it. There is a stain remover under the sink in the kitchen and in the laundry room for the carpet and bedding.

Utilities: Lights / Heating We kindly ask that you switch off lights and turn down Heat/AC when leaving the home.

Garbage: Place garbage in bins along the side of the home. Trash, recycling, yard waste/compost. If you stay here on a Sunday, please ensure all of your trash is in the bins for Monday morning pickup. This ensures trash does not overflow for the next guest. Do not put trash in the green waste bin. This creates a huge mess that is difficult to clean.

Food Items
: Please refrain from disposing of food in the garbage disposal. Food goes into the compost bin.

Pets: Pets are allowed with a $100 per pet, non-refundable fee. No more than two (2) pets are allowed. Please alert us prior to your stay if you are planning on bringing along your pet. All pets must be fully potty trained, and not track mud or dirt into our home; please clean your pet's feet if they are dirty/muddy prior to allowing them in the home. Pets are NOT allowed on any furniture, including the beds. Keep the bedroom doors closed that are not being used. We shall not be held responsible in any way for anything that may happen to your pet. Please note, that there will be an additional $100 fee for any animal waste found on the property after you leave.

Furniture: Please do not rearrange furniture. We have had guests rearrange and damage the furniture and the flooring. It is also difficult for our housekeeper to put it back where it belongs.

Please do not unplug anything in the home. It is difficult for the next guest if lamps are unplugged, and there are items in the home that operate the door lock and doorbell. If you don’t know what it is, do not unplug it. Do NOT unplug the wireless router or modem or it will shut down the door lock and you may get locked out.
