PASSES/WRISTBANDS IMPORTANT! Guests over the age of 5 must wear wristbands. Per the community bylaws, only a max of 8 wristbands is provided per residence to use the amenities. Once the wristbands are placed, they are not transferable to other members of the party. The community requires vehicles to have a car/trash pass and wristbands for amenity access (children 2 and under do not need one). Before check-in you will be required to give your vehicle information and mailing address in order to receive your car pass(es) and wristbands that will be available to you at the house once you arrive. You will not be able to check-in until after your passes are issued - ALL vehicles require a car pass to park at the house. You may not add additional vehicles last minute, however it may be possible to update the plate number if you need to switch vehicles. Car passes must be hung on rear view mirrors immediately upon arrival. Failure to properly display car passes and wristbands will result in community fines - guests are 100% responsible for all fines (plus costs resulting in the fines). TRASH Guests are required to dispose of all trash at the community dumpster (8 mins away) using their trash pass. Trash is open Mon/Wed/Fri 7-3pm, Tues/Thurs 10-6pm, and Sat/Sun 7-7pm. No trash or trash bags of any kind is permitted to be stored outside the house at any time, if reported there is a $300+ fine in accordance with community rules. Guests are responsible for disposing of all trash before checkout. Please read the trash schedule and coordinate accordingly depending on when you are checking-out as any trash left behind (either bagged or loose) will result in additional fees. Guests are also responsible for cleaning all dishes. Any dirty dishes in the sink, counters, or anywhere else will result in additional fines. SNOW During winter there is a plow service that will plow the driveway and shovel a path to the front door after the completion of storms over 6" - you must move your vehicle(s) to the street first. The driveway is gravel and the plow truck will not plow any snow under 6." There is a shovel and salt stored at the house for your convenience. The plow truck does not not plow around the curve in the driveway so the garage may not be used to park a vehicle. Please take this into consideration when booking during the snowy months. OTHER Must be over 25 yrs old to book and the booking guest must actively stay at the house for the duration of the reservation. Guests are not permitted to smoke any substances (cigarettes, vape, e-cigarettes, hookah, incense, etc) inside the house or within 10 feet of the house outdoors. Guests are required to read and follow the Towamensing Trail's Rules of Conduct. Loud parties, rowdiness, or disorderly behavior is strictly prohibited and subject to fines and/or reservation cancellation.
