🚫Prohibited Items: The use of fireworks, firearms, illegal drugs, and hazardous materials is strictly prohibited on the property.
🧼 Cleanliness & Consumables:
Please help us keep the home clean and pest free during your stay. Do not leave food out, as it may attract pests. We kindly ask that you remove shoes indoors, dispose of trash in the proper bins, and wash any used dishes before checkout. Occasionally, we may leave non expired consumables such as condiments or snacks from previous guests. Use of these items is at your own discretion, and the host assumes no responsibility for them.

You are not permitted to stay beyond your reservation dates without host approval. If you remain on the vacation rental property beyond the time and date of check-out, you agree and consent to be removed and locked out of the vacation rental property by host, its representatives, and/or law enforcement. You further consent to permit the host to remove your personal belongings to a location of the Host's choice, where you may retrieve them.
❄️ A/C Policy:
To help keep the home comfortable and protect the A/C system from damage, please keep the thermostat between 70°F and 76°F. Please do not set the temperature below 68°F, as this may cause the unit to freeze and lead to damage. Thank you for your cooperation.

🤫 HOA Quiet Hours and Neighborhood Respect
Being a good neighbor is especially important at this home. Sol y Nieve is located in a peaceful cul de sac within The Retreat at Jordanelle community, which has strict HOA quiet hour requirements. Quiet hours are from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM and apply to all indoor and outdoor areas, including the patio and hot tub. This home is not intended for parties or events. Out of respect for our neighbors, no loud or excessive music is allowed at any time of day. Guests must keep voices, music, and all other noise at a respectful level at all times, as sound carries easily through the connected townhouse walls as well as throughout the neighborhood and surrounding mountain area. Any sound that carries beyond the property line or disturbs neighboring homes may be considered a violation. Repeated or excessive noise complaints, or any disturbance that violates HOA or community rules, may result in warnings, additional charges, HOA fines, or early termination of the reservation without refund. Please enjoy the space respectfully and keep music, conversations, and activities at a reasonable volume, especially outdoors. We have had issues in the past and want to be respectful of the neighborhood. Thank you for helping us maintain a good relationship with our neighbors.
💡 Energy Use & Eco-Friendly Practices:
To help us keep costs down and pass those savings on to our guests, we kindly ask that you turn off lights and raise the thermostat when not in use or when leaving the home. We also encourage guests to conserve water where possible. Thank you for helping us care for the home and be kind to the planet.
