Our House Rules may be viewed as strict or strongly worded, but we hope that these rules will be reassuring to the clientele that we aim to serve, and serve as an indication that we seek respectful guests only. If you read through these rules and have any questions or concerns, please contact us by emailing through the system before booking online.
All guests are required to sign a rental agreement within 72 hours after booking and prior to occupying the property. Guests may also be required: to sign an additional document related to rules, regulations, and Guest liability for violations of rules & regulations; to provide additional information about the group that will occupy the property; to provide a damage deposit outside of or through the AirBNB system, which would be refunded based upon terms and conditions in the rental agreement; to provide a credit card that is valid during the term of the reservation. We will be in touch after you book to gather additional information and to email you the rental agreement, which you can sign electronically - a printer is not necessary.
Long Term Rentals (28 nights or more) may be unacceptable under the standard cancellation policy listed on AirBNB, which is for short term rentals. Long Term Rentals must be discussed and approved prior to booking online. A long term rental / lease agreement may be required. A Security Deposit will be required for all long term rentals, and mid-stay cleaning(s) / inspection(s) may be required.
Please note that noise monitoring devices, and security cameras, do exist on the exterior of the property. Cameras are positioned to cover all entrances and exits of the home. Cameras are present to ensure the property remains secure and safe, as well as to ensure that guests are honest and upfront about their planned use of the property. If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary. Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
This property is located in a residential neighborhood. Quiet hours are from 10 pm to 8 am. During these times, all guests must keep any music, noise, sounds, or verbal communications to a reasonable level, and not to exceed 70 decibels. Generally, normal speech and conversations are between 60 and 70 decibels. Outside of quiet hours, music, noise, sounds or verbal communications should remain respectful of neighbors, and not exceed 85 decibels, which would equate to the level of shouting or yelling.

No pets. No Emotional Support Animals. This includes inside the home as well as the grounds. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), emotional support animals are NOT Service Animals. Bringing an animal into a property which has a no pet policy may threaten the health and safety of others, which is against AirBNB policy and the ADA law. We are committed to the principles of inclusion and respect, and want all guests to feel welcome. At the same time, we expect all guests to demonstrate respect for the rental property, the property owner, and future guests. Calling an emotional support animal or a pet a service animal is not respectful. In fact, it is very disrespectful to those with real disabilities as well as to a property owner who is opening up their home to you. We take non-discrimination, inclusion, and respect very seriously. We hope you do as well. So if you have a pet or emotional support animal, we encourage you to select another property, or let us know so that we can discuss and be of assistance. If you have a bona fide service animal, please feel free to book the property, but please you must let us know about your service animal as soon as you have booked, so that we can make reasonable accommodations.
