***THE MOST ACCURATE (& IMPORTANT) REVIEW OF THE PROPERTY***
The space is AMAZING and the host is super accommodating if you are honest about the # in your group and what you will be using the space for. This will be your BEST travel experience ever if you provide accurate information so we can prepare. However, if you bring extra people without notifying us or hold a party you haven't disclosed with your booking, the property management team WILL know and this will turn into a much more expensive trip than you had planned. Your best bet is to be honest and transparent upfront so things stay in the hands of your overly accommodating host and you avoid change and/or unauthorized people/party fees!

Speaking of mirrors, there is a full-length mirror in The Homestead Room, a mirror in the Bunk Room, a full vanity in the Bonus Room, and extra mirrors under the bathroom sink and in the laundry room that can be moved to other rooms as needed.

GROUP FEES & PRICING (4+ guests)
→ Additional $15/person per night on all bookings over 4
→ Any group using 5+ beds is required to reserve The Bonus Room
→ Any group of 10+ is required to provide a $250 mostly refundable deposit ($35 will be non-refundable to cover large group insurance).
Following fees also apply to groups of 4+, using 3+ beds or using the game room or living room for sleeping:
→ Add'l $50 cleaning fee for every 5 people
→ $15/person per night (+ tax and service fee) over the 1st 4. VRBO will figure this into the amount charged for the 5th through 16th guest
→ 3 Night minimum stay on basic room cost and the add'l per person fee ($45) per guest. (Can be waived in most circumstances, check with host as soon after booking as possible)
→ Any person in the home during quiet hours (10p - 8a) included as an add'l guest for the entire stay. Any person in the home during a period of time that looks and/or sounds like a party included as an add'l guest the day of the party/celebration
→ $50 change fee (+add'l applicable fees) if size of the group increases within 14 days of arrival. We plan available hosting dates around the # of people/beds already booked. We will accommodate changes in the group size if schedule permits, but it does lead to add'l expenses to ensure enough manpower for proper clean-up between groups
→ $15/hour for time spent working out details and explaining the group fees, due to a lack of reading the listing
→ $500 Unauthorized Visitor Fee (+ applicable per person and group fees) if guests who have not been pre-approved are in the home or on the property at any time during your stay. All applicable ‘guest’ fees will be added in addition for any un-approved guest in the home at any time during quiet hours (10p-8a). If these fees come into play, any group fees waived by the host will be reinstated and due immediately. Fees will be enforced by Property Management Company (zero tolerance policy) and host will no longer have an option to waive fees. These fees are easy to avoid by simply keeping your on-site host informed about any extra guests you plan to invite. Inviting additional people to stay may incur additional fees since it increases the cost of hosting you in addition to wear and tear to the home
PARTY/CELEBRATION:
Small family/friend gatherings, parties and celebrations may be allowed during your stay by request and pre-approval ONLY. However:
→ Must be pre-approved. No alcohol allowed.
→ $250 mostly refundable deposit. Deposit will be refunded after clean-up is completed if rules were followed and no more than normal cleaning is required. $35 will be kept to cover the cost of large group insurance
→ People visiting but not sleeping over on any night during the stay not subject to the 3-day minimum stay; $15/person fee applies for day of party
→ Having more people than arranged in advance and approved incurs a $250 fee
PARKING:
There is plenty of free parking: 2 spaces dedicated to guests, up to 4 spots available as needed, and plenty of street parking during the summer
We have EV charging capability for $9/day
*IMPORTANT*
Please let us know details of your group soon after booking so we can work out the actual cost of your booking, block off dates for cleaning as needed and avoid last minute surprises.
