Other things to note
- As fellow pet lovers, we totally understand how special it is to have your
furry friend by your side on vacation! Just a quick note: we welcome
small to medium-sized pups (up to 50 lbs). We kindly ask you to follow
these friendly reminders while enjoying your stay with us:
- Keep your well-behaved dog on a 6-foot leash while
exploring our property.
- We know it’s tough, but please try to keep your pup off the
furniture. This helps us maintain the place for everyone to
enjoy. Remember, any extra wear from our furry friends
might lead to a little surcharge.
- Please remember to clean up after your pup, whether inside
or outside. It keeps the space enjoyable for all!

- Smoking is NOT allowed indoors. Any evidence of smoking inside will result in a surcharge.



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 ($55) - Have a worry-free stay with coverage for up to $3000 for accidental damage (spills, breaks, mishaps) with no surprise charges. Just relax and enjoy your stay. Coverage up to 10 nights, +$6/day for longer stays, and provided by a third-party insurance company.

Option 2: Security Deposit ($2500) - 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.
