Thank you for reviewing these rules. Our rules may seem strict, but they are in place to protect your experience as guests, as well as our experience as hosts. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you do decide to stay at our lovely home, we do charge the following fees separately after you book. You will be sent a link with pre-checkin instructions.

1. Mandatory Refundable Security Deposit - $500. We recommend paying this with a credit card since it will only be a hold placed on your card during your reservation. If you pay with a debit card or direct ACH transfer, the money will be withdrawn from your account 3 days before check-in and refunded 3 days afterwards upon successful inspection of the premises.

2. Dogs - $100/dog per reservation. We allow up to three dogs per reservation to be paid after booking. Please note this is not reflected in your reservation price and is an additional charge.

3. If you use the grill, please be sure to clean it after cooking and empty the grease trap. Grease and food scraps can attract bears and other wildlife, creating safety concerns for everyone. A grill brush is provided—just dip it in water and use it while the grill is still hot for easy steam cleaning of the grates.

To help us maintain a safe environment for guests and local wildlife, a $25 fee will be charged if the grill is left dirty or the grease trap is not emptied. Thanks for doing your part!

You will not be given access to the property until all pre-checkin instructions are completed and you have successfully remitted payment for the $500 refundable security deposit.

Maximum occupancy refers to any and all persons both visiting and staying overnight at the property. This includes vendors, visitors, or any person not listed and disclosed on the booking. If GUEST exceeds the maximum occupancy or does not accurately state in their booking request the number of guests on the premise, GUESTS and any and all of their guests are subject to immediate removal and forfeiture of their security deposit and rental payment. Any exceptions to this rule require prior approval by the Host in writing. The Host has the right to request an additional fee depending on the circumstances.

EARLY CHECK-IN/LATE CHECK-OUT

Guests understands that all early check-in/late checkout requests are subject to cleaner availability and host approval. Guests agree to pay all early check-in/late checkout fees immediately upon approval from the host. If the guests enter the property early without gaining permission from the host or making appropriate payment, they agree to be charged double the appropriate early checkin/late checkout fee.

WEDDINGS/EVENTS:

All weddings and events will be subject to approval and different pricing requirements depending on the nature and size of the events. Please reach out to host before booking for approval and pricing details. If you book before asking for approval to host an event, you are not guaranteed approval and will not be refunded if your reservation passes the designated cancelation period set forth in your booking. All weddings/events must be approved beforehand in writing by the Host. Host has the right to set additional requirements and rules based on the nature and size of the event.

SMOKING: This is a NON SMOKING property. No smoking is allowed inside of the accommodation whatsoever. Any GUEST or related person not adhering to the No Smoking policy will result in automatic forfeiture of security deposit and/or $1000 smoke remediation fine.
