Guest access
Guests have full access to the entire property, excluding the studio guesthouse, art studio building, garage, and basement, which are off limits.

Please note, the studio guesthouse is listed separately and there may be other guests on the property. However, these guests will not have access to the main house, backyard, or hot tub, ensuring your privacy and exclusive enjoyment of these areas.

Other things to note
Access Restrictions: Please note that there is no access to the garage or the basement during your stay.

Studio Guesthouse: The studio guesthouse on the property is listed separately. There may be other guests on the property during your stay, although their access is restricted to ensure your privacy.

Booking Options: Interested in more space? You can rent both the main house and the guesthouse together. Please inquire for details and availability if you need accommodations for a larger group.

Downstairs Shower: The downstairs shower includes a significant step down that may be challenging for some guests. Please consider this if mobility is a concern.

Bedroom Layout: Bedrooms 2 and 3 are technically one very large room that has been divided into two distinct spaces with an interior door and wall. Please note, Bedroom 2 does not have a closet.

Lake Access: Our home is situated on a street that dead-ends at Lake Combie, just a short quarter-mile walk away. While the lake is private with no public access points unless you own lakefront property, we enjoy walking down to admire the serene views, especially at sunset.

Fireplace Use: Although our home has five fireplaces, only the one in the living room is available for guest use.

HOUSE RULES:
Hey there!

I know it looks like a ton of information but I like for my guests to know everything there is to know about my space!

I want to be fully transparent, so I've included information and other helpful tips to make your stay enjoyable.

If you have questions, send me a message!

CONSUMABLES: You'll find a variety of seasonings, cooking oil, coffee (regular and decaf), tea, sweetener, etc.

DINNER GUESTS: We understand some of your family may live nearby. We are open to our guests having family over to share a meal. We love helping folks make memories! The home is NOT to exceed 12 people total and dinner guest requests MUST be pre-approved by the host in advance. This offer is only available to guests with other excellent reviews. Only registered guests (12 total) may stay the night. Unauthorized guests beyond what is stated in the reservation will result in a $100 per guest per night fee.

THE DAY OF CHECK OUT: I don't require much in the way of cleaning. After all, you paid a cleaning fee right? Please do your dishes. Place all trash in the trash cans located throughout the home. Turn off the lights and heater/air conditioner, close and lock any windows you may have opened and return the key back to the lockbox. No need to empty all the trash cans, mop, vacuum, strip the beds or do laundry. We will take care of it! We just want our guests to RELAX!

Additionally, if you move any furniture during your stay, please return it to where you found it. A $100 fee will be charged if furniture is not returned to its original placement by the day of check-out.

HOT TUB: Please refrain from using the hot tub as a cold pool. Doing so prevents the filters from operating correctly, requiring the tub to be drained and deep cleaned after departure. Should this rule be disregarded, a $100 cleaning fee will be applied. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation to ensure the longevity and quality of the hot tub experience for all guests.

SMOKING POLICY: This is a smoke free environment including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vape, etc. The smell is impossible to remove and could cause disruptions to future guest reservations. If evidence of smoking indoors is discovered, an additional fee of $100 will be charged and potentially the additional cost that is incurred by losing the next guest's reservation because we cannot eliminate the odor in time for the next arrival. Marijuana is legal in California and IS ALLOWED OUTSIDE ONLY.

CLEANING FEE: Our cleaning fee is based on a courteous guest that leaves the home in good condition. If the home is extremely dirty after check out, you will be charged an additional $100 cleaning fee. This fee includes but is not limited to the discovery of blood, vomit, urine, feces or any other biohazard. Please be advised, we will not attempt to clean any bodily fluid stained items due to potential health risks to my family and future guests. Instead, I will throw the item(s) away, forward my purchase receipts to VRBO and bill you to replace the item(s) in question. Thanks for your understanding!

OVERSTAY FEE: If you are still occupying my property at the 10AM check out time, you will automatically be charged the cost of an additional day at the base rate with no discounts. This does not award you possession of the property, this is just a penalty. If the next guest cannot check in because we cannot clean the home in time, you will be charged the cost associated with losing that reservation.

UNDECLARED GUEST FEE: To deter parties, any undeclared guests over the max occupancy of seven that enter our property, will be charged $100 per person, per day.
Only registered guests are allowed on the property. Absolutely no sex offenders, felons or any other criminals are allowed on my property.

SAFETY/CLEANING PRODUCT PLACEMENT: We happily welcome children but please keep in mind our home is not baby proofed.

COMPLAINTS/REFUNDS: We always try to make everything perfect and because this is our home, we rarely have any unexpected issues. All complaints must be made within the first two hours of arrival on check in day. By addressing a complaint about any aspect of the property to VRBO or the host, you are authorizing the host or maintenance person to come to the property to remedy the situation up to the standards you require. Power outages, weather and road conditions, acts of nature, flight cancellations, sightings of insects, malfunctions with the TV's internet service, or other equipment/appliances do not qualify for refunds. We recommend purchasing travel insurance and reviewing VRBO's terms of service. We reserve the right to refuse accommodation or demands from rude, disrespectful and/or discourteous guests.

CAMERAS/SECURITY SYSTEM: The Property has security cameras placed in the front porch / entrance and at the garage facing the driveway. This video footage is not shared and is recorded for liability reasons in the cases of a break-in, death, injury, guests sneaking in pets, guests disregarding the maximum occupancy allowed, and in no way infringes upon the guests’ expectations of privacy in these public areas of the property. Any attempt at disabling or obscuring the cameras is prohibited and may result in the guest being evicted without refund. The full deposit will be forfeited if any of the above are found. You will also be asked to leave the property immediately without any money returned.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: You understand you are renting a short-term rental property and will not have tenant rights, no matter the length of your stay. This is considered written proof to the authorities that you have no rights to the home after your reservation has ended. You will be considered a trespasser. Violate the house rules and your reservation will be terminated immediately and is considered grounds for removal from the property without refund. Private security will be hired at your expense to remove all trespassers. You are entering the host's property at your own risk. The host disclaims any liability and shall not be held responsible for any personal injury, accident, incident, pet injury, death, property damage or loss. The host will not be responsible for damages of any kind or any other liability whatsoever arising from or in conjunction with a reservation made through VRBO. Anyone, including undeclared guests who enter the host's property agrees to the house rules and conditions.

Violation of any of these house rules will result in your reservation being immediately canceled without refund.
