You will be responsible for any damages caused to the property.
CLEANING REQUIREMENTS: Staying in a house is different than staying in a hotel. We do not offer “housekeeping” or “maid” service during your stay. While you are not required to do any vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms or making beds, we DO ask that you at least clean up after yourself and your guests. Wipe up spills, crumbs, sand, dirt, etc. If you think you may have stained something, or soiled something excessively, please contact the owner for further instructions or at least leave a note for the cleaning staff. Follow the check-out instructions.
DAMAGE & REPAIRS: Please contact us immediately if something gets broken during your stay, even something as simple as a glass or plate, or if something gets stained to the point of needing to be taken out of service. This helps to keep track of inventory so that sufficient supplies are being provided for the next guest(s). In the event that something has been overlooked or something is not working as it should, it is your responsibility to let us know- if you do not report the problem, we cannot get it fixed. Guest(s) agrees that the Owner, a hired repair person, or building maintenance person may enter the premises for the purpose of making necessary repairs or maintenance if the repair is urgent.

INSURANCE: Any damages not covered by the insurance will be paid by you and any litigation, if necessary, will be handled in Bedford County, where the property is located. Owners highly recommend that you consider purchasing Travel Insurance to cover any trip cancellations or other insurance needs that you may encounter.
OCCUPANCY: The Maximum Occupancy for this property is 10 people. The person booking the vacation reservation (“Transient Occupancy”) is the Responsible Party and must be at least 25 years old. The premises may only be used by the persons named in this agreement. Subletting or transferring use of the property is not permitted. Occupancy over 10 people may forfeit your deposit.
