House rules:
Check-in time is 4PM. Check-out time is 10:30 am. Renters must agree to and sign the rental agreement. A $300 security hold will be placed and lifted if there is no damage. This home is self check-in. You can arrive any time after the check-in time of 4PM. The front door has a keyless entry. Touch the left area of the keypad to light it up, then input the code to unlock the door. This home is in a beautiful rural area with lots of wildlife. Please be cautious to close exterior doors immediately after going through. Never leave the door open, for instance when going back and forth to bring in luggage. Field mice can enter an open door quickly. We keep this home mouse free. You could be charged for damages if your group lets mice in. No smoking is allowed inside. No pets allowed. Firearms, fireworks, and archery equipment are not allowed to be used on this property. Small events and parties are just fine when the attendees are in the rental group (maximum 10 people). Larger parties, such as wedding receptions, are not allowed. The maximum occupancy for this house is 10 people in beds, but you may request up to 12 if there are small children. Please park in the driveway, not on the roadside. Please avoid parking on the lawn which is also the septic system area. You use the Madison River at your own risk. No lifeguard is on duty. The Madison River always has a current, and in the Springtime the current can be strong. You wade or swim at your own risk. Parents are advised to supervise children while they are at the river. Please be sure that you have the right licenses if you plan to fish at the home, in the general area, or inside Yellowstone Park. You are in an area near where 3 states come together (Montana, Idaho and Wyoming) so be sure to purchase the license for the state(s) you plan to fish in. The town of West Yellowstone is a good place to purchase the Montana license. The town of Island Park is a good place to purchase the Idaho license. If you plan to fish in Yellowstone Park, Fishing Bridge is a good place to purchase the special fishing permit. There is an information sheet in a picture frame on the wall, full of helpful info about the house, including WIFI. Outdoor quiet time in the neighborhood is 10:30pm - 8:00am. Please don't move furniture or change refrigerator settings without returning them to normal before departure. When you leave the house for the day please close and lock all windows and doors. (Also, please keep windows closed for energy efficiency while using the heating system.) Please refer to the Check-out Checklist on the fridge when departing. Please remove your shoes inside. No wading boots inside. The neighborhood speed limit is 15 MPH and MUST be obeyed on the entire road once you leave the pavement. Thank you for respecting this home and neighborhood. We wish you a wonderful vacation in this beautiful area!
