Note about the setting:
Our home is nestled in a beautiful wooded mountain area, which means occasional encounters with native wildlife and insects are possible. While we professionally treat the home for pests, nature is part of the experience here — including the chance of bug sightings, especially if doors or windows are left open. This is not considered grounds for refund or complaint.

There is a potential for high winds. All outdoor furniture and hot tub must be covered and secured when not in use.

Important to know:
This is a working farm property. We live nearby on the same property and may occasionally be present for maintenance or support. Our friendly dogs are sometimes outside in our private area — they are not allowed in guest spaces, but may bark if they sees people nearby. Please let us know if you have any sensitivities and we’ll be happy to assist.

You will have full access to the entire home, except for two locked owner’s closets.

Property includes parking for up to four vehicles.

We prioritize your comfort and satisfaction, with an attentive host available via VRBO messaging for any questions or assistance.

Please communicate concerns during your stay:
We’re committed to providing a great experience and can usually solve issues quickly — but only if we know about them. We encourage guests to share concerns while they’re still here, as this gives us the opportunity to make things right. Requests for refunds after departure, without having reported the issue during your stay, may not be honored.

Refund Requests:
Our home is accurately described and professionally maintained. Refunds will not be issued for issues not reported during the stay, or for circumstances beyond our control (e.g. insects, wildlife, weather, local noise). Submitting refund requests after departure or using reviews as leverage may be reported to VRBO.

• Minimum booking age: 25 years old. Reservations by guests under 25 years old will be canceled without refund.
• No pets allowed: A $500 fine applies for violations.
• Guests are responsible for any damaged or missing items, charged at replacement cost plus a 15% service fee.

**PETS
We love pets, but to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort for all guests, our home is strictly an animal-free zone. No pets or animals of any kind are allowed inside the property at any time.

Failure to comply with this rule may result in additional cleaning fees and/or immediate termination of your stay without a refund.

FYI for potential high winds all outdoor furniture and hot tub covers needs to be secured.

Because our hot tub is serviced and cleaned after every guest, we do not guarantee the hot tub will be at temperature upon arrival.
