RESERVATION: Reservations are on a first come, first serve basis. For a secure reservation, we require a signed lease and half of the rental due for the period you have requested. If your preferred space has been contracted with another party before your reservation reaches us, and you do not have the space on hold, we will offer you a replacement week or space, or return your check immediately. The balance of the reservation, plus a $250(for cottage) $350(Old Wing) and/or $400(Old Wing) security deposit is due 30 days before occupancy. If you wish for the setup and/or afterward cleanup, the money is due with the reservation and security deposit 30 days before occupancy. The lease deposit is non-refundable should the tenant default on the second part of the payment, once a time-period has been contracted. Occupancy of the premises requires the payments in full as scheduled.

CANCELLATION: If you have to cancel your reservation, we will do our best to find a replacement tenant. We give 80% refund on your first payment if and when the replacement is secured. We will try, but promise no refund on previous payments if the cancellation occurs less than 30 days prior to the contracted time.

AGREEMENT TO HOLD: We will hold space for 5 days if you e-mail or fax us your vacation lease with all of your information filled in. Ask for our agreement to hold available to rent, if you need considerably more time.

AGE REQUIREMENT: Responsible tenants must be 21 years or older. We ask that all persons to occupy the rental in your care be listed.

PETS: We welcome well behaved pets at the Old Wing and Cottage. Please ask for a lease containing the pet policy when you contact the landlords. A pet not familiar with this environment should not be left alone at the house. If you do not intend to care for your pets during your vacation, please do not bring them to our home. If you bring pets, a security deposit of $50 is added to the initial security deposit.

GROUPS: We are happy to welcome wedding groups, reunions, and professional groups. We can help you with a per room cost quote if if your guests pick up their separate cost, a quote for renting all three homes as a package, and a quote for using the land for your outdoor party hosting.

PARTY HOSTING: You may host your party at this property. Look up our party hosting addendum to learn the requirements.

SETUP SERVICE: We offer a setup service, which includes making the beds with our clean sheets and stocking the bathroom with our clean, white towels. We stock the bathrooms with toilet paper and hand soap, the kitchen with dishwashing liquid and powder, sponges and paper towels, and include laundry detergent for your convenience. You can find the prices for this service on our Rates page.

CLEANING: We expect a generally clean and orderly property to be turned over to us for the next tenant. The property should be as it was before you arrived when you leave. If you prefer to not clean the house and strip the beds at the end of your stay, please let us know, and we will arrange cleaning service for you to ready the house in good time before the next guests arrive. Please go to the Rates page to see the prices for this service. We give you two garbage containers and one recycle bin per home. Any extra garbage will cost $5 per large bag.
