By booking with us, you — and everyone you invite to the property — agree to follow these rules and acknowledge the terms outlined in the Legal section below\. We're happy to answer any questions, so if something is unclear, just ask\. \~ Guest Count & Occupancy Our pricing varies based on the number of people included in the reservation\. To make sure your rate is accurate, please confirm your guest count before booking\. Your reservation should include all overnight guests, regardless of age\. We define overnight guests as anyone on the property after 9 PM\. We structure pricing this way intentionally\. Smaller groups create fewer variable costs — such as cleaning time, linens, utilities, supplies, and wear and tear — and we pass those savings on to them\. Larger groups naturally require more resources, so rates adjust accordingly\. This allows us to keep the property affordable and fair for groups of all sizes\. If someone will be staying only part of your reservation, please let us know in advance\. With prior written approval, we can bill additional guests on a per\-night basis for the nights they are present\. Daytime Visitors Daytime or early\-evening visitors are welcome, provided you: •do not exceed the maximum occupancy of the listing •are respectful of the property and neighbors •clean up after your visitors •ensure visitors leave before 9 PM If you have any questions about guest count or visitors, just ask — we're happy to clarify\.

With prior written approval, we may allow limited gatherings subject to: • a maximum total guest count \(including overnight guests\) • an additional event or gathering fee • no loud music, DJs, or amplified sound • respectful use of the property and consideration for neighbors • all non\-overnight guests departing by 9 PM If you’re considering hosting a gathering during your stay, please reach out before booking or well in advance of your arrival with details about the event so we can confirm whether the property is a good fit and provide applicable terms\. Unauthorized events, excessive noise, or gatherings that exceed the approved guest count may result in: • additional guest or event fees \(up to 2× the applicable rate\), and/or • termination of the reservation and removal of guests without refund If excess occupancy or an unauthorized gathering results in additional cleaning, damage, refunds, relocation of guests, or other operational costs, you agree to reimburse those expenses\. \~ Booking Responsibility Please book for yourself unless we've approved otherwise in advance\. If you're reserving on behalf of someone else, let us know ahead of time and provide contact information for the staying guest\. The booking guest remains responsible for ensuring house rules are followed and for any resulting damages or fees\. \~ Quiet Hours Quiet hours are 9 PM – 9 AM\. Our properties are in residential areas or near full\-time neighbors\. Sound travels more than people expect\. Please be mindful of music, loud conversations, and other noisy activities — especially when outside or later in the evening\. If we receive a complaint or if behavior disrupts neighbors, we may reach out to ask you to reduce noise\. Continued disturbances or failure to respond may result in early termination of the reservation without refund\. \~ Pet Policy As pet lovers, we understand how important it is to travel with your pets\. As a general rule, we're happy to host dogs\. Each dog must be added to your reservation under the "pets" category\. The pet fee is charged per pet\.
