Hot Tub Addendum
This Rental Agreement Addendum is incorporated into and made part of the Rental Agreement executed by the owner and the Guest, referring to and incorporating the rented home. There are health risks associated with the use of hot tubs. Guest agrees to use the hot tub at their own risk. The Owner(s) will not be responsible for any injuries sustained by the Guest or the members of the Guest's party when using the hot tub. Guest who signs this agreement will be responsible to advise all other members of their party of all potential hot tub hazards and rules. Before unlocking or using the hot tub, Guest(s) must completely review and understand the hot tub operating procedures found in the Rental Instructions as well as the safety items listed on this page. The Guest is responsible for operating the hot tub in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Shower before and after using the hot tub. This is because some lotions or makeup mixed with the hot tub chemicals can cause a rash. Showering after hot tub use will lessen the likelihood of rashes related to exposure to the hot tub chemicals. Never wear jewelry into a hot tub due to the chemicals used. Hot tub chemicals can also affect color-treated hair or damage swimsuits. If you have any medical condition (such as but not limited to, heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, diabetes, obesity) or are taking any type of drugs please consult your physician before using the hot tub. Persons who have skin sensitivities or open wounds should not use the hot tub. If you have consumed or are consuming alcoholic beverages or drugs or have a medical condition that in conjunction with hot tub use may result in drowsiness, do not use the hot tub due to the possibility of losing consciousness with the possibility of drowning. Guest agrees not to use and not allow members of Guest's party to use any type of soaps, shampoo, lotions, bubbles, glitter, or bath oils in the hot tub, as damage to the hot tub and/or skin irritation may occur. If evidence of use of shampoo, bubbles, lotions, bath oils, or other substances is found in the hot tub, your entire Rental (damage) Deposit will be forfeited. Do not take any products or items into or around the hot tub, including glass, which may clog the filter, damage the hot tub, endanger persons, or cause injury, or skin irritation.
Do not submerge your head, ingest the water, or allow the water to contact your eyes. The Guest is responsible for keeping the hot tub clear of debris and keeping the area around the hot tub clear of obstructions, neat and organized.
Guest is responsible for the full cost that may be due for repair and/or replacement of the hot tub that is required as a result of negligence or misuse by the Guest, or the members of the Guest's party, above and beyond the amount of the Rental (damage) Deposit. Minors must be supervised by a capable adult age 23 or over at all times while in and around the hot tub. Inspect the hot tub water before use. If too hot, cloudy, dirty, gritty, smells unusual, or you have any concerns about the water quality, DO NOT USE THE HOT TUB and call the owners or maintenance for service. The cover must be placed back on the hot tub when not in use or not supervised. This keeps the water warm, prevents debris from entering the water, and keeps minors or unauthorized persons from entering the hot tub. Do not use the hot tub if any of the suction fittings have been removed. DO NOT CLIMB, LEAN, SIT OR STAND ON THE HOT TUB COVER. A damaged/broken hot tub cover will result in $100 charge to the Guest. Guest understands that the hot tub is strictly an amenity, and the use of the amenity is not guaranteed under the terms of the rental Agreement. Any interruption or non-availability of the hot tub will not violate the terms of the Rental Agreement. If the hot tub is used frequently during your stay, be aware that the build-up of bacteria, body oils, and other foreign matter may overwhelm the hot tub's ability to neutralize the bacteria and properly sanitize and filter the water. If you have concerns related to heavy usage, please text us and we will arrange for servicing (treatment and filter replacement) during your stay if possible. If you notice any water quality issues, such as cloudy, dirty, gritty, or smelly water, DO NOT USE THE HOT TUB and call the owners or maintenance for service. If using the hot tub after 10:00 PM, be considerate of the neighbors by keeping all noise to a low level. Failure to comply may result in denial of continued occupancy per the Rental Agreement and forfeiture of your Rental deposit and rent.
In the case of a hot tub emergency call 911. The emergency electrical disconnect for the hot tub is located near the hot tub. By booking via VRBO, you have acknowledged that you have read and agree to all rules, terms and conditions associated with this listing and have therefore also read, understood and consent to these hot tub rules.

Overall the house was in great shape. There were many nice touches, like snacks and coffee, everything in the bathroom was organized and labeled. The location is perfect. The only drawback is having just one bathroom.

The Perfect Place for Families

The Hickory House was the perfect place to stay while in town for a family reunion. The house is on a quiet street in the beautiful community of Milford. A short walk to the downtown area for dinner was very convenient and the long walks to see the historic homes were fulfilling. The Hickory House had ample room for my crew, and everything in the home was well appointed and amazingly comfortable. We will absolutely be back to Hickory House to make more memories! Brandi is a wonderful host, thoughtful, responsive, and the property was exceptional!

Lovely home near downtown Milford

This is a beautiful home within walking distance to downtown Milford. It’s very clean and beautifully decorated. The backyard is surrounded by mature trees and it’s very serene to sit on the deck. Linens were of excellent quality as are the mattresses. The neighborhood feels extremely safe and quiet. The host left us a delicious batch of homemade cookies and a welcoming note. Everything was in good working order and the home was stocked with any toiletries you may need. We hope it’s available for our next trip to Milford!

Perfectly Posh

This property is in a great neighborhood. It is quiet and close to Main Street downtown. It is beautifully decorated, but still feels home-cozy. The little extra amenities throughout the property just shows how much thought is being put in to making this a wonderful experience. There was something for everyone….. from 5-50….. communication was quick and friendly. We will definitely stay here again for any future visits to the area. 5 STARS

Beautiful how in the center of Milford

This home is beautifully upgraded and extremely clean. The home is perfectly located walking distance from all the restaurants in Milford and a few minutes to mamy of the small lakes and Kensington Park. My husband and I stayed here for a wedding with three teenagers, and it was the perfect size. The kitchen was well equipped, and the host even provided coffee, and all the little essentials that you may have forgotten from home. The host was friendly, the check in process was extremely easy, and she checked in on us the day after we arrived, just to ensure everything was to our liking. We will definitely stay again! I can't say enough about the beauty and cleanliness of this property!

Host profile image
Greetings! My husband Dom and I had our first date in Milford. We fell in love with the town so much, we decided to move here 10 years later! This town is magical to us so we want to extend the charm and hospitality to you!

Why they chose this property

This beautiful home was built in 1866 and has been beautifully restored by its previous owners. Located just one block from Main Street, you will be within a few minutes walk to the very best Milford has to offer. We have equipped the home with everything (and more) you and your family will need to feel right at home. Inside, there are several spaces to spread out. The back yard is beautiful, expansive and loaded with activities.

What makes this property unique

The fixtures and furnishings within the home are new and thoughtfully chosen for the space, while several original details have been maintained to preserve the original beauty and character of the home. All mattresses are high end and new. The year-round hot tub provides a relaxing escape, while the outdoor fire pit, grill and Bocce court allow for hours of outdoor fun!
