--- PET POLICY ---
We love animals and are happy to welcome a maximum of 3 dogs per stay. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate other types of pets at this time. Dogs must be housebroken, and a non-refundable pet fee of $200 per dog per stay will apply. In general, we do not recommend leaving pets alone in an environment that is unfamiliar to them. However, we trust that you know your pets best and will choose strategies that will keep them safe and minimize risk of damage to our home (i.e. crating, not leaving them home alone, etc.).

--- RENTAL AGREEMENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT ---
The booking guest must sign a rental agreement, provide a copy of a government-issued photo ID for verification, and submit credit card information prior to check-in. Once all the above items are received, door access codes will be provided 24 hours prior to arrival.

A $600 security deposit will be HELD on the credit card for any extra cleaning fees, repairs, or damages incurred. If there are no additional charges for damages/repairs/extra cleaning, this credit card hold will be released within 3 days of check-out.

--- SELF CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT ---
Check-in: no earlier than 4:00 PM EST
Check-out: no later than 10:00 AM EST

Due to the large size of this home, our cleaning team requires adequate time to clean and prepare for the next reservation. Any exceptions to check-in or check-out times will require written approval by the host. Guests who check out after 10:00 AM EST will be charged a prorated late fee of $200 per hour.

--- SECURITY ---
For safety reasons, there are 3 exterior security cameras that are not monitored but record video and sound 24/7. They are motion-activated and overlook the driveway to the main house, the entrance to the apartment suite, and the backyard. There are no interior cameras, and no interior areas are visible on any of the 3 exterior cameras.

--- INSECTS AND WILDLIFE ---
You may encounter insects and wildlife during your visit. We have regular comprehensive pest control performed, but it is impossible to keep a mountain home completely free of pests. To minimize insect entry, please close all doors and windows when not in use. Avoid attracting unwanted attention from other wildlife by not leaving food outside and by placing all trash in the proper receptacles.

--- WEATHER CONDITIONS, UTILITY DISRUPTIONS, AND PARK CLOSURES ---
No refunds will be given outside of cancellation policy for things that are beyond our control. This includes, but is not limited to, power outages, other utility service interruptions, any park/recreation area closures, and inclement weather conditions or natural disasters. Cell phone service is limited in the mountains. Please plan accordingly. Travel insurance is recommended.

Areas that are off-limits inside the house include two private locked closets and two utility areas – there will be signs stating “Private” and “No Guest Access.” Areas that are off-limits outside the house include two locked storage sheds.
