CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT:

Check-in time is 5pm, and check-out time is 10am. Please note that these times are strictly enforced, and that arriving before 5pm or checking out after 10am without prior approval is against our policies. You may contact us the morning of your arrival to see if an early check-in is possible. Please note that we open and inspect all our properties the day of your arrival to ensure the home is ready for arrival; however, early check-ins can dramatically affect our quality assurance program. Our openers/inspectors cannot perform their normal duties if you have already entered the property. Please call the day of your departure to see if a late check-out is possible (up to 12pm), we cannot approve any late check-outs prior to your check-out day. We will do our best to accommodate your request. Should you be granted a late checkout, please be sure to adhere to the agreed time. This is so our housekeeping service can prepare the home for the next guest, which may be just a few hours after you depart. If you’re not granted a late check out and you’re not out of the house there will be a $125 fee per hour you stay past the check out time.

No early check-ins/late check-outs are available during the winter peak season or holidays.

Basic pots, pans, dishes, silverware are provided, and limited condiments are available. Due to the wildlife and nature setting, it is recommended that no food is left out, both inside and outside.

PROPERTY:

Vacation rental properties endure heavier traffic and more abuse than an average home. While we do everything in our power to provide a clean and comfortable space for your vacation, we are also limited in some ways, and cannot promise absolute perfection. We welcome and appreciate any feedback provided and will always try to make it right however possible, within reason.

The property will be subject to inspection upon reasonable notice to guests, which includes knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell before entry if noise complaints are issued.
