Check-Out and Late Check-Out: 

Our standard check-out time is 10 am. If you need to check out later, please ask your host in advance. We apply a fee of $50 plus $1 per minute for unexpected late check-outs to ensure smooth transitions for our guests and cleaning crew.

Cleanliness and Additional Fees: 

Please help us maintain cleanliness. Excessive trash left at the property will be subject to an additional fee. An additional cleaning charge will be deducted from your deposit and (or a claim will be filed for the additional fees) after your departure if the house is left excessively dirty (such as unwashed dishes, urine, stains, or excessive hair on the furniture or carpet, cigarette butts found on the property, stained linens or furniture, furniture rearranged, etc.).

House Rules:

1. Quiet hours are from 9 pm to 7 am.

2. Please avoid flushing "flushable" wipes as they can clog drains.

3. Security cameras are in place for safety 

Prohibited Activities:

1. No smoking or vaping inside the home.

2. No illegal activities or underage drinking.

3. Please do not move furniture or decor.

 

Pool Rules: To ensure everyone's enjoyment:

• DO NOT TOUCH POOL EQUIPMENT.

• Pool is kept heated to 80° at all times.

• Scheduled pool maintenance is on TUESDAYS.

• Keep the cover closed when not in use.

• No food or glass containers in the water.

Fire Pit Rules:

1. Never leave the fire unattended: Always have a responsible adult watching the fire, especially with children around.

2. Keep children and pets safe: Keep them at least 3 feet away from the fire pit.

3. Burn only firewood: Use only approved materials for burning.

4. Contain the fire: Ensure the fire stays within the designated area.

5. Be mindful of wind: Avoid lighting a fire on windy days to prevent accidents.

Extinguishing the Fire:

• Drown the fire: Pour water over the embers until they're cool to the touch.

• Handle ashes safely: Ashes can remain hot for a long time; wait until they're completely cool before disposal.

Pond Recreational Use: Please be mindful of the local wildlife, as this is a rural area. We recommend not swimming in the pond for your safety. Help us keep the pond area clean and free of trash—a minimum fine of $300 will be charged for excessive cleaning if needed.

Horse and Horseback Riding: The horse belongs to our neighbor and is generally friendly, but please interact at your own risk. We are not liable for any injuries. Horseback riding is available for those interested.

Feel free to explore and collect firewood at your leisure. There are two ways to access the pasture and pond area: through the gate located south of the pool or via the steps north of the pool house. However, we kindly ask that you remain within the area highlighted on the provided map.

Pets: No Undisclosed Pets:  If you bring a pet into our home, an additional fee of $500 will be assessed.  You will also be responsible for any damages and/or additional cleaning needed.   Pets are not allowed.

No Additional Overnight Guests:  NOTE:  We aren't trying to be  mean with these rules.  They are in place to ensure compliance with our licenses and insurance.  Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding!  Please be sure that all guests, including children, are reflected in your reservation, even if they are not staying for the entirety of your reservation.   If you don't let us know about new guests, you will be charged an unexpected overnight guest fee of $50/guest per night.   And please remember we may never exceed 10 guests sleeping in the house.  Under Airbnb's terms of service, additional guests beyond the number listed on the reservation are not permitted at any time. Unauthorized guests may result in the immediate termination of the reservation without refund and/or additional fees.

Daytime Guests: We would appreciate knowing if you plan to have daytime visitors as well (leaving before 9pm).  Please limit your visitors to no more than 1.  A violation of these rules may result in the removal of guests without refund.   We may monitor the number of guests that enter the property relative to the reservation and notify you if there is a discrepancy.

Again, ensuring these rules are followed is critically important to our operating license and insurance. Please just message us if your plans have changed so we may update the reservation accordingly or discuss other options. Thank you!

Fees and Responsibilities: Please note our fees for late check-outs, damage, and violation of house rules. We are here to ensure a pleasant stay for all guests and to comply with our operating licenses.

Guest Responsibility: We trust our guests to treat our home respectfully. Violation of rules may result in fines and cancellation of the reservation without a refund.

Reservation of Rights: We reserve the right to enforce these rules for the safety and comfort of all guests and neighbors.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to ask. We want you to have a wonderful stay with us.
