HOUSE RULES

Additional rules

We welcome respectful guests looking for a great and comfortable place to stay. This is a list of additional house rules that have been developed over time. Some of these rules may seem funny, or even a little absurd. However, if there's a rule it's because someone did this thing and required us to make this rule. Please remember, this is our home. If you any doubt ask yourself if you would let a guest at your home do the same thing.

DISCLOSURE: The property has security cameras pointed at the front doors, driveways and fire pits. They monitor property access and the use of the fire pit outside. There are no cameras pointed at any private areas, (such as any part of the interior or the jaccuzi). Anything observed that seems out of place will prompt a call from us.

The additional rules are:

1. No Parties or Events. (We are not a venue for large gatherings, weddings, receptions, etc. If you need a venue we can point you in the right direction.)

2. No Unregistered Guests Additional guests above the confirmed guest count when you made your reservation. More guests are not allowed, and any additional guests must be approved prior to your stay. Under no circumstances can the cabin capacity be exceeded. Every person counts, regardless of age or size (Yes, the infant and toddler counts as a person). We have zero tolerance policy on our property being used as a "home base" for parties or visitors to come and go outside of the confirmed guests at time of reservation. Please note we have exterior cameras to verify who in entering our home. -If you exceed your confirmed guests count, you will be immediately evicted from the property and charged a $500 fine. -Any additional costs associated with trash disposal will be related to the additional, unregistered guests and the expense be charged as a $75 fine.

3. No Smoking inside the property (smoke outside to your heart’s desire). This is a zero-tolerance issue as it affects the health of all guests and requires professional remediation to sanitize the property. Any smoking violations will result in a minimum fine of $750 (for clean-up and commercial ozone treatment to remove the lingering smell of ... whatever it was that was burned), or the direct-billed invoice for the property remediation, which ever is greater. Additionally, any violation results in the immediate eviction from the property. Please clean up after yourself. Finding any cigarette butts littered outside the property is not permitted, and a separate charge of $100 will be charged for the clean up.

4. Check-in is any time after 3:00PM unless early check-in is otherwise approved prior to your arrival. If you appear at the property prior to the check-in time, you will be asked to leave and enjoy the mountains until it is your check-in time. We do this to afford our house cleaners a change to review that everything is prepared for your stay. We are flexible and will coordinate early check-ins and late check-outs when available for no charge.

5. We do not rent to guests under the age of 25. (Of course you have have guests that are younger, but the person under whom the reservation is made must be this age or older. We will ask for ID as proof.)

6. No Pets: Due to SEVERE family allergies, please no requests to bring animals of any kind. If we find that a pet has been brought into the property you will be immediately evicted and charged a $250 pet cleaning fee or a remediation, whichever is greater, to remove the lingering pet dander. If the pet caused any damages to the property, additional costs for finish carpentry will be charged as well as any furniture replacement. Any furniture replacement will be for a new piece of similar furniture and any related shipping costs to have it delivered on an expedited basis. Please note, this violation can get very expensive very quickly.

7. Do not enter any locked closets. Entering any private areas will result in a $500 fine.

8. Please do not move the furniture during your stay. It will damage the wood floors and result in a substantial damage charge. All indoor furniture is to remain in the cabin. Refrain from taking outdoor any indoor furniture as the exposure to the elements outdoors can and will ruin the furniture. Additionally, none of the art work or deer heads may be removed from any of the walls (Yes, this happened). Removing any art or deer heads will result in an immediate eviction.

9. No Urinating Outside the Property or into anything other than one of our toilet. Urine leaves a lingering, unpleasant odor that requires additional cleaning and odor control. (Imagine smelling that odor as you step out of your car on arrival.) Any urination that is noted on the property will result in a $100 fine for the cleanup and odor control. (If you want to be zany and adventurous, walk 100 feet into the woods and urinate among the critters. The ticks will appreciate the free meal.)

10. No Fireworks at the property. It is a wood cabin, in the woods, surrounded by other wood cabins. A fire would be devastating. Lighting any fireworks at the Property will lead to an immediate eviction.
