Non overnight guests are fine within reason. If it's an event just let us know ahead of time so we can make note of it and confirm on our end to avoid miscommunications with guest count. We have cameras on the front door and back side of house so let us know if you need to adjust the headcount before or during your stay, please let us know. • Again, Yes - Events are allowed but we also must be notified when your booking the kind of event that is going to take place and just the rough number of guests expected. • Although we DO allow Small Pets at the property, they must be listed on booking along with accurate number of pets. ***If you have questions, or are wanting to bring more than 2 pets, guests must get our prior approval*** • Guests are not to block or cover the cameras outside the property or the front door camera.

If full, put trash bags on ground next to the bins. • If in the extremely rare case, that the property is left in complete disarray, in need of repairs, and requires extra cleaning, guests can be charged an additional $150 for the cleaning and extra fees for any damage to property would be the guests responsibility. NOISE COMPLAINTS &/OR DISTURBANCES: • No Loud, Disruptive, or Out of Control parties are allowed.

We will attempt to contact you through Call, Text, and Airbnb messenger before having maintenance go to the property. If guests don't respond, maintenance will attempt to contact guests by ringing the doorbell & knocking multiple times. If guests still don't respond they will announce themselves while entering property as "Maintenance" before addressing the safety issue or urgent property maintenance matter. This is ONLY Done in extremely important cases at our direct request to maintenance. ***IF AFTER NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS (Before 9am OR after 7pm CST), unless in the event of a 911 type emergency, Maintenance & property management will NEVER access the property during a guests stay unless at the request of a guest.*** ****POOL & VACATION HOME LIABILITY WAIVER**** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
