✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and security deposit. We know security deposits are annoying, so to make it easier on you we have 2 options that you can choose between:

Option 1: Damage Waiver ($50) - Have a worry-free stay with coverage for up to $1500 for accidental damage (spills, breaks, mishaps) with no surprise charges. Just relax and enjoy your stay. Coverage up to 10 nights, +$2/day for longer stays, and provided by a third-party insurance company.

Option 2: Security Deposit ($1,000) - Refundable temporary hold that releases after your stay.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it's a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include:
- Early check-in
- Late check-out
- Kayak rentals
- Paddleboard rentals
- Baby equipment rentals

Guests will receive the access code within 24 hours of their arrival. Guests have access to the entire property. Guests must be able to climb at least 3 stairs into the front door.
Additionally, bedrooms are located both on the basement level and the second story. Guests must be able to climb at least 14 stairs to access these levels.

Hot tub/jacuzzi use: We do not have control over the mechanical performance of private hot tubs.  Stay GVL nor the owners are responsible for any negligence or accidents in the use of the hot tub.  Renter and guests assume all responsibilities for themselves and guests in the care around any hot tub. There is a $70 hot tub fee to use the hot tub that will help the owners off set the regular maintenance fees.
The daylight basement refrigerator is strictly for the homeowner`s use while at the property.  Guest will not have access to this fridge.

In order to comply with our insurance requirements, we require guests to sign a vacation rental agreement AFTER booking.
Look for email which includes a link to this document. Don`t see the email? Double Check Spam Folders!
After the agreement is signed, you will receive all necessary instructions for your reserved home!

Pet fees are NOT included in Airbnb Reservations (due to Airbnb software limitations) so we collect Daily Pet Fees AFTER booking is confirmed (for pet-friendly properties). If guests are bringing pets, they MUST let us know so we can send the pet fee and deposit request. Fees must be paid in order to receive access codes and instructions. We understand things may be overlooked, but we may have to charge penalties for Guests who do not let us know they are bringing a pet.

All renters are responsible for any intentional damages or theft at our rental properties.  Additional charges may apply for items such as abuse, damage above normal wear & tear, pet damage, theft and additional cleaning costs when necessary. 

What if I need to change my reservation?-
If a guest would like to change a home due to a variety of reasons (home does not suit needs, guest does not like location), we will attempt to alter reservation to another home to ensure guest satisfaction. Prices per home vary and guest will have to agree to the new rate prior to being moved. Guest will have to pay cleaning fees per home and applicable pet fees per home. 

What about cancellations?
With COVID, cancellations can happen and we want to try to work with guests. Airbnb only allows us a set cancellation policy which we set as Strict. Although we don`t allow for immediate reimbursements, we will offer a credit for a future stay if the property is able to be rebooked for your dates!

We had a great stay and the house was perfect to relax and get away! We were able to enjoy ourselves and nothing was missing. The outdoor deck space was awesome with the option to sit in the open air or enclosed screen patio. I’d definitely book again if we are ever back in the area.
