CANCELLATION POLICY Our rental contract will specify that GUEST can cancel at any time regardless of the Airbnb cancellation policy. If the GUEST cancels the reservation more than 48 hours after the initial booking (provided it is less than 14 days prior to arrival), the rent & host fees paid minus a [$75] administrative charge may be refunded if the same or partial dates are re-rented. If re-rented for lesser amount, the difference will not be refunded. We highly recommend you purchase travel insurance to cover any losses. NOISE ORDINANCE: This is a family home. We encourage our guests to have fun, but please be respectful of our very sweet neighbors who appreciate peace and quiet and keep the noise to a minimum at all times. A noise & smoke monitoring device both inside and out will inform us if noise levels exceed those allowed by the city or cigarette / pot or vaping is present inside the house. We ask that you keep outdoor music family friendly and at appropriate levels as to not disrupt peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Everyone should be indoors by 10pm. These do not record audio; they simply detect decibel levels and cigarette or vaping smoke. We are not responsible for injuries on the property. Please also don’t allow your animals to roam unattended. SAFETY CONSIDERATION: Please read safety considerations at the bottom of this listing. Please use a leash at all times when in the front yard to avoid running away. Keep track of droppings & pick up & dispose immediately. Pet bags are provided for your convenience. OTHER: Our area has frequent power outages in the hotter months. These outages typically last only 1-3 hours. We will provide you with any notifications we receive from the utility company. We appreciate your understanding if this happens during your stay.
