Other Things to Note:

⚠️ House Rules ⚠️



🤫 Noise

Please keep noise to a minimum when outside. We use decibel readers (they do not record conversations) to monitor levels.

💸 Excessive noise may result in a $500 fine due to past neighbor complaints.



🚭 Smoking

No smoking inside the house — $500 fine for violations.

Smoking outside is allowed.



🚫 Strictly Prohibited

• Underage drinking or drug use

• Parties or large gatherings

• Unauthorized guests

🎉 No mini waste: Please avoid confetti, glitter, water beads, balloons, or any tiny plastic/glass/metal pieces.



👫 We respect our neighbors and community, and strictly enforce these rules. Any gatherings, parties, or unauthorized guests will result in immediate removal from the property with no refund for unused nights.





🐾 Pets

❗ Pets must be disclosed and approved in writing before your stay. Undisclosed pets will result in a $150 fee and may lead to cancellation without refund.

🚫 No cats allowed.



👟 Shoes Off Inside

Please remove shoes indoors to keep the home clean — the asphalt driveway can track in dirt. Thank you!



🚿 Bathroom Ventilation

Please open the bathroom window halfway to 2/3 down OR keep the bathroom fan on during showers and for 20–30 minutes afterward to prevent moisture buildup.

🌡️ Even in cold weather, the bathroom will stay warm.



🧺 Before You Leave

We only ask a few simple things to help us prepare for the next guest:

• Place used towels in any laundry basket located in the bedrooms

• Load any dirty dishes into the dishwasher

• Ensure all trash is placed inside the outdoor bins (next to the garage in the backyard) — please do not leave trash on the floor or in bags inside the unit, as this will result in an additional cleaning fee

• Lock all doors

Set the thermostat to:

• 70–75°F for A/C, or

• 67–70°F for heat depending on the season



😊 Checkout Note

We leave a short list of optional checkout steps — not mandatory, but always appreciated. Thank you for helping us keep the home lovely for future guests!
