★ RENTAL CONTRACT ★

We have disclosed the terms of our Rental Contract in the Additional Rules section of the House Rules. This contract includes house rules, liability regarding on site activities, and fees for breaking rules. By booking this property you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by all terms, conditions, and policies in the Rental Contract.

★ DAMAGE PROTECTION ★

Instead of a security deposit, your stay includes a damage protection waiver, covering up to $2,000 in accidental damage during your visit. Please note that this applies only to accidental damage. Any intentional damage or violations of house rules will be charged to you in accordance with our rental agreement. Full details of the coverage will be shared after your booking is confirmed.

★ PET GUIDELINES ★

We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs for a fee of $75 per dog. To help us keep the home clean and comfortable for every guest, dogs must remain off all furniture and beds throughout your stay.

Please review our simple guidelines to ensure a great stay for all:

✔ Dogs must be over 1 year old, under 50 lbs, housebroken, and leash trained
✔ No excessive barking or heavy shedding breeds
✔ The front yard is not fenced—dogs must always be leashed when not in the backyard

This property does not host cats. Any other animals must be pre-approved ahead of your stay.

★ WATER QUALITY ★

The home uses a private well for its water supply, which is tested regularly and is completely safe to drink. Some guests may notice a slight mineral or earthy taste — this is perfectly normal with well water. For convenience, we provide a Brita filter pitcher in the kitchen for those who prefer filtered drinking water.

Below are the check-out instructions we request at the end of each stay:

✔️ Load and run the dishwasher

★ TRAVEL INSURANCE ★

To guarantee a worry-free trip, we highly recommend our guests purchase travel insurance. It provides peace of mind by covering unexpected events such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies or lost belongings.

★ ADDITIONAL NOTES ★

✔ You must be 25 or older to rent this home
✔ The wood burning fireplace is only available for use from November - March. Guests must supply their own firewood and kindling.
✔ Please note you're staying in a rural area, which means nature is all around! While we keep our homes well-maintained, it's not uncommon to cross paths with the occasional insect indoors or out.
✔ While there may be some leftover wood at the property, we do require guests to provide their own firewood for use in the firepit.
✔ Your safety matters. The property has an exterior Ring front entrance camera that points at the driveway and records video and audio upon motion. It does not look into any interior spaces.
✔ Please be aware we do not list the property as toddler or baby safe. While we work to create a safe space for all ages, be sure to watch children carefully at all times, especially near the fireplace and staircase.
✔ From time to time, routine services such as landscaping, trash removal, or pest control may require access to the exterior of the property. We do our best to schedule these visits to minimize any disruption, but we appreciate your understanding if they overlap with your stay.
✔ In the winter months, snow removal is scheduled as promptly as possible following snowfall, subject to vendor availability. Specific timing cannot be guaranteed. Guests are advised to exercise caution and be mindful of slippery conditions during winter weather.
✔ This home is in a neighborhood setting on a busy road. Please respect quiet hours and note that you may hear street noise while inside the property.
