HOUSE INFORMATION, RULES & CHECK OUT INFO:
Rules:
While most guests are respectful and wonderful to host, we do have a small percentage that have not treated the house and their surroundings with respect. We only state these rules because we have not, not because we want to.
Doors and Screens:
Please keep doors and screens closed so animals and bugs don’t get in.
Hot Tub:
Hot tub is set at 85-90 degrees. It normally takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get to 100 degrees with the cover on, during the winter it may take longer. In the winter, please set the temperature at 100 degrees a few hours before use. It takes much longer to heat with the cover off, so we suggest that you leave it on whenever it’s not in use. Please set the temperature back to 85 before you check out.
Garage/ Game Room:
The garage code is the same as your door code.
We are in the process of converting the garage to an ultimate game room. In it you will find a pool table, dartboard and corn hole. Patio and lounge cushions are stored in the garage as well.
The garage also has a washer and dryer that is accessible to guests.
Outdoor Lighting:
The outdoor (dark sky friendly) string and dining area lights are controlled by the remote hanging next to the fridge. Please leave the remote hanging in the house.
Furniture:
Please do not move any large furniture such as sofas, dining tables, beds, etc. This is only here because it happens more often than it should.
Outdoor Noise:
We love our neighbors – please be respectful of their space, and their privacy.
No music outdoors in the evenings.
Please be aware that we have a number of law enforcement officials that live in this area that are sensitive to noise level. Please keep that in mind.
Extra Guests and Parties:
Outside guests and parties are strictly prohibited at all times. The county is cracking down on short term rentals hosting parties and we want to be respectful of our neighbors. If you break this rule, there will be a $5,000.00 fine.
Smoking:
There is NO SMOKING OR VAPING within the residence or within 10 feet of the residence.
Other Items:
Careful not to overload the toilets as they can plug up if too much is put in at once—we have a sensitive septic system. Wipes and feminine products need to go in the trash. Guests will be charged if a plumber has to be called.
CHECK OUT BEFORE 10:00AM
CHECK OUT PROCEDURE:
