Whitewater A-Frame Cabin: seen in Travel & Leisure - Whitewater

Welcome to Whitewater Cabin! We want all our guests to have a fantastic experience and hope you enjoy your time there as well. To that end, here are a few rules by which you must abide. Upon booking, you will receive a link with a request to sign and agree to the following rules, verify your identity, pay our refundable security deposit, and schedule a phone call with our manager. Please note that these steps are required for all guests. All steps must be completed in full prior to check-in. Please read these carefully. We wish we didn’t have to be so explicit, but we regularly encounter a handful of brazen violations each month, despite including this clear language in all our listings and messaging. Our apologies to the rest of you lovely honest people for having to read all this!


HOUSE RULES:


EXTRA GUESTS
You are currently confirmed for the number of guests shown on your booking. This is the maximum number of people allowable on property at any time. All visitors, day or night, must be cleared with us in writing in advance. We charge a daily rate of $35 per guest if disclosed in advance and $100 if not disclosed. Exceeding the maximum legal occupancy of the house at any time will result in immediate cancellation of your reservation, loss of all payments and deposits, and removal from the property. When in doubt, kindly inquire. We occasionally host curated events for groups of 13-25. These are managed and priced differently from overnight stays (although they can be combined, simply inquire). As some guidance, most events range from $5000-$10,000 depending on the scope and plans. Any food, beverage or outside costs are not included. We love hosting events but they must be approved in advance. We request your cooperation and understanding so we can continue to share our amazing homes with the world.

PHOTO & VIDEO
Our property is a beautiful place to shoot photos, and we welcome you to tag us on Socials. We charge production fees, which start at $6,000 per day, for all commercial, professional, promotional, editorial, and or revenue-generating photography and videography generated on the property. These must be paid in advance of your arrival along with a signed production agreement, production insurance, film permit, and a location release. If it’s a couple of casual photos during your stay that’s totally fine. We consider a shoot commercial if it involves any lighting, support crew, professional equipment, or if the end purpose of the images is tied to any product, service or revenue generating activity or used for editorial or publicity or if any economic benefit is received by you or any of your guests—even if it’s just shot on your phone. If you are in doubt as to whether your shoot would be considered commercial, inquire first. Failure to do so result in immediate cancellation of your reservation, loss of all payments and deposits and removal from property. You will also be held responsible for any production fees in excess of your deposit plus attorneys fees, court costs and hourly management fees incurred in connection with any violations. Please note that without a signed location release, you do not have the right to use any imagery created on property. So it's best to be transparent and inquire first.

DEPOSITS & FEES
At this property, we require all reservations to provide a supplemental security deposit of $1500 for all other platforms than Airbnb. We process the deposit using a hold on your card, and the deposit must be processed before your check-in. The hold will be released within 2-3 days after your check out if all house rules are followed and the house is left in good condition.

Should any violations or damages arise, Foxden may choose to deduct any fees and costs from this deposit in addition to seeking reimbursement from any booking site (Airbnb/VRBO/Booking.com/etc) or any other security deposits paid by the guest. If violations or damages occur during your stay, we do charge a 25% management fee for all claim handling. If violations or damages exceed the amount of any available deposits, we may choose to pursue the matter in court, in which case you will also be held responsible for attorneys fees, court costs, and hourly management fees.

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
All our properties are booked nearly solid with visitors departing and arriving the same day. For this to work for you and all our other guests, the earliest you may arrive is 4pm. You and your guests must be fully checked out of the house and off property no later than 11:00am sharp or late fees of $300/hr charged in 1/2 hr increments will apply. Please help us stay on schedule and respect your fellow guests by checking out on time.

NOISE, MUSIC AND SOUND EQUIPMENT
All our houses, even remote ones, still have neighbors. In Riverside, according to Ordinance No. 847, quiet hours are between 10 PM-7 AM. These aren't our rules, and they're County Law. Our sound systems are designed to provide great sound at the maximum levels allowable in the area. For this reason guests are not allowed to bring any DJ or supplemental sound equipment to the property. This includes, but is not limited to: mixing boards, turntables, CDJs, speakers. A minimum $1,500 fee applies for any violation of the noise provision and you may be required by management to vacate or provide a supplemental deposit to continue your stay. Our ability to continue to host these special properties depends on maintaining long term relationships with our neighbors. Please be considerate and keep music and voices at a respectful volume at all times.

OFF-HIGHWAY MOTOR VEHICLE RECREATION
All OHMVRs including ATVs, quads, dune buggies and dirt bikes are not allowed anywhere on any of our properties. Please note this means they may not be brought upon our land—even on a trailer that you do not off load. All these vehicles are illegal to operate not only on our property but also on any of the neighboring streets. Bringing an OHMVR onto our land or operating one anywhere in the neighborhood will result in immediate cancellation of your reservation and removal from our home along with forfeiture of all payments and deposits. We have a zero-tolerance policy in this area.

SECURITY
All our properties have external security cameras monitoring the entrances and exterior common areas. These are required for our insurance and also for your safety. For your privacy, the feed automatically erases every 10 days. Obscuring, moving, or otherwise altering the security cameras is prohibited and will result in a $1500 fee per incident and/or immediate eviction from the property as well as forfeiture of all monies paid, subject to Foxden’s sole discretion.

PETS & SERVICE ANIMALS
A maximum of 2 animals are allowed at the White Water Cabin during a single stay and the pet fee is $50 per animal. Approval from us in writing as well as the completion of any pet fees is required before your arrival so we may provide guidance to ensure a smooth and issue-free stay.

If you are bringing a pet or Service Animal, the following guidelines must be followed: Bring your own protective sheets to cover any place where your dog may lie (we are not equipped to shampoo furniture or rugs or dry clean bedding after your departure); outside the house, dogs are to be leashed at all times (there are coyotes in the High Desert, which present danger to unleashed dogs) and owners must immediately pick up after their dogs and deposit waste in a plastic bag and place it in the garbage bin. All dogs shed, but excessive hair may result in a deduction from your deposit.

Please note again that it is important that we know about your pet in advance so we can notify our cleaning teams and ensure they are prepared for the extra work required. To that end, bringing any animal without permission will result in a minimum fee of $1500 per animal. Should any animal-related cleaning or damage result in a loss or delay in occupancy for future guests, you agree to pay all such costs incurred by Foxden as well as a goodwill fee of up to $1,000 (in Foxden’s sole discretion) which may be paid to the guest whose stay you disrupted.

We strongly support the ADA Service Dog policies for those who truly have the need. As you may know, many people abuse the Service Animal classification in order to travel with their personal pets. Please note that Under the ADA, Service Animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered at all times, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks. The Service Animal must also be under the handlers control at all times and may not be left unattended in the house or allowed to roam freely on the property. Also please note that misrepresenting ownership of an ADA Service Dog is a criminal misdemeanor in California punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and/or up to six months’ imprisonment.

WILDLIFE SAFETY
For our properties in Joshua Tree, please note this is wilderness land. This means there are numerous animals with whom we share space. From coyotes to snakes to adorable jackrabbits, life is everywhere in the desert. And just like the prickly cacti that populate the area, some of these animals can be dangerous. Treat nature with respect. Do not allow children to explore unattended. You are solely responsible for your safety and the safety of all others on the property during your stay.

SWIMMING
Swimming pools and spas are fantastic and fun. But they can also be hazardous. The deck, stairs and surfaces around pools and spas can be very slippery when wet. Children in and around the pool/spa must be supervised at all times by an adult. Intoxicants and bodies of water are a risky combination. So we need to say this again: you are solely responsible for your safety and the safety of all others on the property during your stay.

FIRE & FIREWORKS
This home features a beautiful firepit outdoors to warm the night and provide a fantastic place to lounge and watch the stars. This is the only place on property where fire is permitted. Never leave a fire burning unattended.

Fireworks are not permitted for use at any of our properties. Yes, this includes sparklers.

SMOKING
All our properties are non-smoking buildings--that includes not only tobacco, but also marijuana and vaping. Smoking indoors will result in forfeiture of your deposit in full and/or costs for smoke remediation that start at $1500 and may be significantly higher. Smoking is only allowed outdoors and more than 25 feet from the house with all windows and doors to the home closed. Out of respect for the local environment, you must remove all cigarette butts from the property to avoid additional cleaning fees.

A FINAL WORD
We didn’t think we’d have to say this, but no firearms are allowed. Nor are any RVs, Trailers, ATVs, dirt bikes or off-road vehicles, Also not allowed are llamas, helicopters, meth labs, wild animals, fireworks, bombs, flamethrowers, paintball… In summary, anything that is illegal is also illegal at our properties

It all boils down to this: be respectful while having fun. See you soon!
