Rental Agreement Please read your vacation rental agreement carefully before you begin your vacation.

Any monies received by Georgia Cabins for YOU, LLC for occupancy of vacation property indicated the acceptance of the terms of our vacation rental agreement in full. All policies are strictly enforced. It is the responsibility of all guests and members of their party to be familiar with all policies pertaining to rental. Vacation Guidelines for YOU Keep in mind that YOU will be vacationing in the mountains and YOU may encounter steep driveways/roads, snow/icy weather, curious wildlife, and cellular/connection issues. We sincerely strive to provide a wonderful, stress-free vacation during the moments YOU occupy one of our professionally managed properties. Amongst the staff, we often refer to this belief as our “vacation philosophy.” Departure (checkout) time is before 10:00 AM. Hot tubs are drained, cleaned and refilled after each stay. Please allow several hours for the water to reach its optimum temperature. Leave the lid on when the unit is not in use. Be a conscious advocate of your temporary vacation home and the time it takes to properly prepare for each new guest. Please report any issues as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours from your listed arrival time. Be cautious of potential noise ordinances. Excessive noise and foul language should be avoided. We call this approach our “Good Neighbor Policy.” Keep all electronics, appliances, and furniture in working order. We love pets; however, please respect the pet policy of each individually owned property. Please be respectful when choosing to smoke while on vacation. All of our properties prohibit smoking inside of the cabin.
Please follow and observe all applicable Georgia state laws during your vacation. As time may present, we humbly ask that YOU observe our basic departure requirements as you prepare to leave our wonderful community. This approach encourages each guest to help facilitate in the success of each future reservation.

Check-in Time Check-in is guaranteed by 6:00 p.m. (EST). Guests are not permitted on the premises before the property is ready for occupancy. If you are in the area prior to check-in time, please enjoy the area's many attractions and restaurants.

Checkout Time All properties must be vacated no later than 10:00 a.m. (EST). As Agent deems necessary, checkout time may be extended to facilitate Guest, though current occupancy rates and availability will determine plausibility. All late checkouts are subject to certain conditions and an additional charge.

Property Use Guest agrees that the Premises are to be used and occupied by Guest as a private dwelling, and for no other purpose. Listed occupancy for each property should be observed. In the event there is a change in occupancy, the application process and approval from Agent is required in advance. No parties, receptions, large gatherings, weddings, or similar events are permitted without prior written authorization from Agent. Complaints of excessive noise and foul language or any other unlawful activity may result in immediate eviction from Premises. The entire amount of any rent, fees, and deposits will be forfeited if guest is evicted.

Greek Life & Event Parties Georgia Cabins for YOU does allow Greek and Specialty Organizations book Certain cabins. Due to a proven history of having more risk for damage claims, we have implemented a special process for serving these reservations. This could include an impact fee, a mid-stay visit, and an increased deposit. We also require these groups to announce themselves before signing this agreement, so that we can start the proper process. If we discover infidelity or misleading information, it can cause an eviction or cancellation of reservation(s) with the forfeiture of all monies paid.

Construction While we try our best to keep up with growth in surrounding areas, we cannot always predict construction plans in the area. There is a possibility that construction projects may be in progress near any rental property during the time of your stay. Therefore, we have no control in these situations and no compensation or substitutions to other properties will be considered.

Surveillance Equipment For added safety, security and property protection; some vacation rental properties may have surveillance equipment installed. Such video/audio devices will be legally installed in very limited exterior locations. We will make every attempt to ensure areas under surveillance are clearly disclosed and marked in such a way to protect your privacy.

Furthermore, registered guests may not, under any circumstances, install any such surveillance device during their stay without the expressed, written permission of Georgia Cabins for YOU.

CFY does not monitor or manage surveillance equipment.

Pet Policy Unless specifically approved in writing, pets, as well as animals of any kind, are not allowed, with the exception of recognized and approved service animals. Properties that allow pets are limited to two (2) animals of no more than seventy-five (75) pounds each, and as such will be subject to an additional non-refundable pet fee per approved animal. Pets are not allowed in pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, or showers.

The pet fee covers entry to the property and does NOT cover any of the following: Urine on floors, carpet, linens, furniture, etc. Scratched floors, walls, doors, trim, furniture, etc. Damage to carpet, rugs, blinds or any other items in the property Excessive pet hair and slobber Extra cleaning and flea treatments In the event a guest allows an unapproved or non-allowed animal of any kind on the Premises, Guest will be assessed an additional non-refundable fee of $500.00 and may also be subject to immediate eviction pursuant to Agent’s eviction policy set forth herein.
