Our mission is to provide every guest with the best experience possible. To ensure the quality of your visit, we kindly ask that you treat our home as your own and follow these house rules. Thank you for your cooperation!  

Accurate Reservations: Please ensure that all persons staying (including children/pets/service animals) are on the reservation. Additional charges will be incurred of $300 for EACH person/pet NOT on the reservation and this can/will be verified. Additional guests who live locally may come visit you with prior permission. See more info below on additional guests.

Early Check-Ins: Early check-ins may be possible with at least one weeks' notice prior to check in, but early check-ins cannot be guaranteed.

Driveway Gate: Please, keep the gate closed after every entry and exit.  We’ve had curious farm animals from nearby pastures wander onto the property, and while they’re cute, they can be messy! Our cleaners will charge an additional fee if they need to clean up after pets or farm animals.

Children: Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. They are not permitted to stay alone in the house or on the property.

NOISE & QUIET HOURS   **Be mindful of noise and respectful of neighbors during quiet hours:  Monday–Friday: 9:30 PM–8:00 AM   Saturday & Sunday: 11:00 PM–9:00 AM   **Outdoor spaces and the fire pit can still be enjoyed quietly during these hours. A lot of the neighbors work graveyard shifts.

PARKING: Please do NOT drive on the grass for any reason.    If extra parking is needed, you may park alongside the house by the kayaks, but no further than the deck stairs. This spot can usually fit two cars side by side.

ADDITIONAL GUESTS:  **Family or friends in the area are welcome to visit with you WITH PRIOR APPROVAL!  **Your visitors CANNOT bring pets and CANNOT stay past midnight/overnight.  **Your visitors are not allowed to be left at the house alone. **You are responsible for any/all damages and the cost of repairs caused by your guests.

PET/SERVICE ANIMAL POLICIES: **Maximum of 1 pet/dog allowed. (If  additional dogs are brought to the property they will incur a $300 fee per dog and we will ask you to vacate the property without refund.) **Dogs only and must be 40lbs or greater **MUST be house broken not pad trained. **Furniture: Pets/service animals are NOT allowed on furniture (beds, couches, chairs, etc.). ** Cleanup: Please pick up after your dog. $100 fee will be charged for cleaning up after your dog. ** Doors: Do not leave doors open for pets to enter/exit at their leisure.  **All pets MUST be crated when left unattended at the house!

THERMOSTAT & TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Our home is equipped with a new, high-efficiency HVAC system designed to maintain comfort by actively managing both temperature and humidity—which is especially important during Tennessee summers.

For normal operation, thermostat settings are limited to the following ranges to ensure comfort while protecting the system: Heating: up to 70°F Cooling: down to 72°F

At 72°F, the home remains comfortable due to effective humidity control. Lower settings can place unnecessary strain on the system during periods of high outdoor humidity. Each room has a temperature sensor to maintain maximum comfort.

That said, we understand comfort preferences vary. Adjustments outside these ranges may be accommodated by special request in advance, subject to weather conditions and system limitations.

If these settings may not meet your comfort needs, please contact us before booking so we can confirm whether an adjustment is appropriate.

WINDOWS/DOORS: If you open windows for fresh air please turn off the HVAC system.

Please do not remove window/door sensor batteries.

SMOKING: **No Smoking Indoors: This includes vapes and e-cigarettes, etc.  **Please dispose of cigarette butts properly— do not leave them around the property or extinguish them on handrails, decks, walkways, or bricks. Additional cleaning fees will be charged if ANY cigarette butts are found.

FIRE PIT USE **Fully extinguish the fire pit with the garden hose after use.  **Return and stack chairs to the side of the deck before checkout.  **Ensure the water is turned off. **NO BON FIRES ** We do not provide fire wood. 

GENERAL GUIDELINES

**Cleaning is done after each check-out. Guests are expected to keep the house in normal condition to prevent excessive cleaning after check-out. **Please do not use towels, hand towels, or any linens as make up removers. Charges for stained linens will be applied. **Please don’t place hot pots/serving dishes etc directly on dining room table. Please place a trivet/hand towel under it to prevent scorch marks. **Do no remove grill/smoker from mat. **Once grills have cooled put covers back on after EACH USE. **Close dining set umbrella after each use. **Turn off lights and TVs in unused rooms. **No shoes on the furniture **Toilets: Flush only toilet paper and human waste.  **Do not flush feminine hygiene products, wipes, or paper towels—even if labeled as flushable. **Trash:   **Trash collection is early Tuesday morning (around 5 AM). Place garbage cans just outside the gate on the grass Monday night.   **Ensure all trash is bagged. Unbagged/loose trash in the garbage cans or found around the property WILL incur extra cleaning fees.

BEFORE CHECKOUT **Strip all used beds to the mattress and place bedding on the bedroom floor. **Place all used towels on the hall bathroom floor.

ADDITIONAL NOTES: **No candles are allowed in the house.

**If something breaks, please let us know right away rather than leaving it for the cleaners to discover. If you discover something unsatisfactory upon check-in please let us know ASAP (preferably within 12 hours so we can best address it).
