✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $250 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $27 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include: 🛎️ Early Check-In: Early check-in is sometimes available, but not guaranteed. If the home is ready early, the hour before check-in time is always free, and if you’d like to get in earlier, it’s $20/hr. 😴 Late Check-Out: Late check-out is sometimes available, but not guaranteed. If it is available, it’s $20/hr. 💞 Romance Package: A premium bottle of wine, chocolates, silk rose petals adorning the bed & flameless candles. $145 💖✨ Ultimate Romance Package: A record player with a selection of romantic hits to set the mood, a premium bottle of wine, chocolates, silk rose petals adorning the bed & flameless candles. $200 🔥🍫 Ultimate S’mores Package: Includes Hershey's Chocolate, Ghirardelli Chocolate, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Marshmallows & Graham Crackers. $25
