**Features and Amenities:**



* **Eco-Friendly Approach:** We provide you with eco-friendly and, where possible, unscented cleaning supplies and unscented linens to help protect your respiratory and overall health (the majority of our products are EWG certified).

* **Extremely close proximity to hospitals, university, shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment:** Easy walking distance to several major medical facilities/hospitals, and an similarly short (5-10 minute) drive to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, along with easy access to bus lines, and bike trails. Walkable to several local restaurants and a great coffee shop. Very short drive (5 minutes) to Hilldale mall, groceries, Target, and other conveniences. Also, you're just minutes away from Camp Randall Stadium and the vibrant Monroe Street shops and restaurants. Best of all, you're in the perfect location for enjoying evening strolls through a gorgeous neighborhood without the noise (the street and neighbors are lovely and quiet for a good night's rest). Don't want to go out? Relax on the couch or in the swing in the sunroom, or watch one of the two TVs.

* **Extremely Comfortable and Personalized Luxury** : We live there part of the year, so have furnished the home with high quality items that we want to (and do!) live with when you're not there. We haven't cut any corners; we take good care of the place and treat it as our full-time home, so you can share in our comfort when we're away.

* **Spacious Living:** The open-plan living area is perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Madison. Large windows flood the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The window-filled sunroom alone makes this home an easy "yes."

**PARKING** : You're welcome to park one car in the driveway, and street

parking is readily available (make sure to observe the signs). Garage parking

is unavailable. Please do not park too close to the garage, as it opens

FORWARD, not up (see below under “trash and recycling”). Homeowners are not

responsible for damages.



**TRASH AND RECYCLING** : Please take out the trash on Wednesday evenings for

Thursday pick-up, then pull the bins back into the garage after pick-up on

Thursdays. We appreciate your help in separating recyclables, which are picked

up every other week. This small step makes a big difference for the planet and

will help us avoid a fine. The bins are located inside the garage. Just push

the button inside the garage to open and close the garage door, **being

mindful not to park too close to the garage door as it opens FORWARD, not

up!** Any damage is the guest’s responsibility.



**AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER:** We have a Nest thermostat. Please make

yourself comfortable! Note that it automatically resets to default settings

every Sunday to help control utility bills. If you’d like to change the

temperature back to whatever you prefer, feel free!



**FUN STUFF:** On occasion, the homeowners have access to tickets to local

events, such as Badger games. If you’d like the homeowners to connect you to

the people selling tickets when they come up, please let us know!



**COOKING/BAKING** : Despite the humorous sign that says the kitchen is for

display only, please feel free to enjoy home-cooked meals! Note: **please use

only the microwave function on the microwave** , not the oven function. If you

need the oven, please use the standard oven below the cooktop stove.



**No parties of any kind,** or excessively loud music at any time, indoors or

outdoors. If you’d like to meet with other people beyond those listed on the

reservation, kindly choose a location outside the home (local restaurants,

coffee or ice cream shops, the Memorial Union Terrace, the local lakes and

parks, etc.). Parties or events are not permitted without prior written

approval.



**Quiet Hours:** Keeping noise levels down helps maintain a good relationship

with our community and avoids you experiencing any neighbor complaints. Kindly

observe quiet hours between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m.



**Television** : When you turn on the television, it will prompt you to enter

your checkout date. Please enter the correct date so future guests do not have

access to your preferences or payment options for purchases you’ve made, if

any. Standard channels are included and will be visible to you. If you want to

use any premium channels or services, simply log in with any credentials you

may use elsewhere on those apps/services, or create an account for whatever

additional services you want, as necessary (including your own personal

billing information).



**Smoke-Free Stay:** Our home is a strict no-smoking zone (including

vaping/e-cigarettes), which helps us maintain a fresh environment. A minimum

of a $500 fee will be assessed if violated.



**No Underage Drinking or Illegal Substances:** Use of illegal drugs or

underage drinking on the property is strictly prohibited.



**Mail:** Please avoid having mail sent to the house, as the post office

automatically forwards mail to the owners. Instead, consider getting a P.O.

Box and picking up packages from alternate locations (for example, Amazon is

often willing to have you pick up from an Amazon locker at the local Whole

Foods store or other nearby locations, the UPS Store, etc.). The owners are

unable to return deliveries to you.



**No Extra Guests:** The maximum number of overnight guests is defined by your

booking agreement with us. Please contact us in advance if you'd like to have

any daytime visitors—small, respectful gatherings are usually fine, but we

must be notified ahead of time for insurance and neighborhood courtesy

reasons.



**Surveillance Disclosure:** Exterior-only security cameras are in place for

your safety and to ensure compliance with occupancy rules.



**Pet Policy:** As much as we love them, we're strictly a pet-free home due to

severe allergies, which includes animals of all types. Unauthorized pets, even

if just visiting temporarily, will result in additional fees.



**Supplies provided:** To make your stay comfortable and give you less to

think about when you first arrive, we've provided travel-size shampoo,

conditioner, and body wash. We've also provided a starter pack of dishwasher

soap and pods, coffee, and oatmeal. PLUS, to help keep our home as scent-free

as possible due to allergies to fragrances, we've provided you with ample

laundry detergent, dryer balls, and soap.



**Snow removal:** Not to worry – we have a company that takes care of it for

you! Please exercise caution if they haven’t arrived yet (hosts are not

responsible for others’ falls, etc.), but the snow removal company is

typically quite on top of it. Sometimes the neighbor kids even show up with a

random act of kindness and clear the walkways and driveway when it isn’t

blocked.



**Washer and dryer:** The washer and dryer are available for your use during

your stay. They’re in the basement. Everything you are likely to need to do

laundry will be in the laundry room. Hangers are available in the bedroom

closets.



**Dehumidifier in the upstairs bath:** The large gray contraption in the

master (upstairs) bath between the sink and toilet is a dehumidifier. Please

do not move the hose or disconnect it (it empties into the sink). To help

avoid moisture problems, please make sure the dehumidifier is on before

showering and make sure to run it for at least 15 minutes after showering. If

it isn’t used and moisture becomes a problem, renter may be responsible for

the cost of mitigation and repainting.



**Furniture and other belongings:** All furniture and other belongings must

remain indoors and in their original location, and in the new condition in

which it was when you entered the home. Do not move furniture or wall

hangings. This can damage floors, walls, and fixtures.



**No confetti, glitter, open flames/candles/lighters, incense or similar, or

scented plug-ins** : Decorations like confetti, glitter, or candles are not

allowed due to cleanup costs and fire risk. We are also an allergy-sensitive

property and damages will be assessed if there is evidence or use of any of

these things (smell or otherwise).



**General cleaning:** Please keep the home clean. Guests will be charged

additional fees, at the discretion of the owner, for any damage, stains,

missing items, or excessive cleaning required after checkout.



**Utilities** : Normal utility use is on us and we’re happy to cover it. If

for some odd reasons utility costs exceed $400 for the month, the owner may

bill back the renter for excess usage.



**Use of the yard and all outdoor areas:** We’ve recently had landscaping done

in the front; kindly stay off the yard so that the new plants can successfully

take root and thrive. Aside from that, guests may use the yard and outdoor

areas at their own risk. Please note that surfaces may be uneven, and natural

elements such as loose stones or muddy areas can be slippery, especially when

wet.



**No climbing or rough play:** Climbing trees, fences, or structures is not

allowed. Please avoid rough play or running in the yard to prevent injuries

and protect landscaping.



**Supervise children at all times:** Children must be supervised at all times

while in the yard or outdoor areas. This property is not child-proof and may

contain natural hazards.



**No fire pits or open flames:** Use of fire pits, outdoor candles, fireworks,

or any open flames is strictly prohibited unless explicitly provided and

approved by the host.



** Clean up before coming indoors:** Please shake off mud, dirt, or grass

before re-entering the home. Extra cleaning fees may apply if excessive dirt

or outdoor debris is brought inside.



**Handling Damages:** Accidents happen. If something gets damaged, please let

us know so we can take care of it. We do expect that the property be returned

to us in the at least the same condition in which you found it when you

checked in. We take good care to make sure we're aware of any missing or

damaged items. Guests are liable for damages and repairs/replacements at the

homeowner's discretion.



Please note that this home complies with local occupancy and noise rules.



**Insurance Reminder:** We recommend guests carry travel insurance that

includes liability coverage.



**Violation of any of these rules may result in immediate eviction without

refund.**



If you notice anything not working correctly with the home, please let us know

immediately so we can address it.



**In Case of Emergency:** If you need emergency assistance, please call 911.

The fire extinguisher is located under the kitchen sink. The first aid kit is

located in the cabinet of the downstairs bathroom. The electrical shut-off is

located in the garage.



We hope these guidelines help you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay.



Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We appreciate your understanding and

cooperation!
