SMOKING

EXCESSIVE CLEANING FEES
We kindly ask that guests treat the home with care and respect. Should the property require cleaning beyond the standard turnover—due to excessive mess or incidents involving bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, or waste—a $500 fee may apply. Any linens or furnishings damaged beyond repair will also be subject to replacement charges. These situations are considered outside the scope of routine housekeeping and require specialized attention to ensure the safety and well-being of our team.
MID-STAY CLEANING REQUIREMENT
For stays of 28 nights or longer, a guest-paid mid-stay cleaning is required. The cleaning will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time during your stay. The cost varies by property and will be confirmed before scheduling.
ACCURATE GUEST COUNT
The number of guests must be accurately disclosed at the time of booking. While we don’t charge extra for additional guests up to the home’s maximum occupancy, this information is essential so we can properly prepare and stock the home. Please note that penalties may apply if guest counts are inaccurate or intentionally misrepresented.
OUTSIDE SERVICE PROVIDERS
Outside staff such as private chefs, massage therapists, or other service providers are welcome, but prior approval is required before they come on-site.
SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
Guests may be required to sign a rental agreement. If applicable, it will be sent after the booking is confirmed.
SEPTIC
Please be mindful of the septic system and do not flush anything down the toilets or drains other than toilet paper. This includes any and all personal hygiene products, baby wipes, bleaches and strong chemical cleaners.
Step onto the deck and enter the warm wood interior of the cabin, where intimate spaces invite you to relax and recharge. A wood-burning stove creates a cozy ambiance for quiet evenings, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area for four make mealtime a breeze. The queen bedroom, just across the hall, offers a restful retreat, and a door leading outside allows easy indoor-outdoor living right from the bedroom.
Outside, the beauty of the property continues with an inviting fire pit and outdoor dining area to enjoy meals under the stars. A BBQ grill completes the setup for relaxing evenings. A half-mile hiking trail begins behind the cabin, marked with blue dots on the trees, inviting you to explore the property’s natural beauty.
For a true taste of Mill River, indulge in candlelit dinners at The Old Inn on the Green, browse the provisions at the Mill River General Store, or enjoy a leisurely brunch at the Southfield Store.
