This unit gives you complete privacy, only car you will see or hear is your own, views of the gorgeous towering trees and mere steps away from the beautiful Fresno River. INFANTS/CHILDREN: This home is in an Adult only complex & designed with relaxation, peace & a beautiful stay in mind. If you are wanting to bring your infants/children, we do have homes available to accommodate you so please ask if those accommodations are needed. HOME PRICING INFORMATION: Although the description of this home indicates that it CAN accommodate 4 guests, we choose to offer this home at a reduced rate for couples (2 people sharing one bedroom/bathroom - see paragraph below). We do our pricing in this manner so we can offer the home to smaller groups at a lower price. COUPLES/PARTIES OF TWO: The site automatically gives you a discount when your guest count is 2 or less. The guidelines for the discount is that it is for 2 people, sharing 1 Bedroom and 1 Bathroom, ONLY the Master Bedroom and adjoining Bathroom will be open. All other Bedroom(s)/Bathroom(s) will be locked off. The entire rest of the home is yours to enjoy privately. The locked off bedroom(s)/bathroom(s) will NOT be rented out to anyone else. If your party of two is not a couple and you would like the use of a 2nd Bedroom and Bathroom there is a small $25 per night additional linen fee to compensate for lower rate we offer for couples sharing 1 room. We unfortunately have to lock off the additional rooms as we’ve had occasions where the home was booked for 2 and unpaid for guests were brought in which is unfortunate. If you have ANY questions regarding our pricing please inquire before booking your reservation to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. ADDITIONAL GUEST FEE’S: If your guest count exceeds 2 guests, there will be an 'additional guest fee' of $30 per person per night to compensate for the lower rate we have listed for couples, until the maximum occupancy of this home is reached. We price our home in this fashion because we want to be fair to all group sizes, small and large alike. If we only offered a ‘flat rate’ no matter how many guests, smaller groups would pay the same as a larger group and we don’t think that is fair. We feel a smaller group should pay less than a larger group. Most guests appreciate the break for their smaller group. Pets: CATS: None of our homes allow cats, no exceptions. DOGS/Other animals: No animals are allowed in this home. It's intended to be an allergen-free environment and includes animals of all kinds except legally mandated service animals with proof of service papers. If you bring a dog into our pet free home there will be an immediate fee of $250 no exceptions. OUTSIDE FIRES (Not allowed usually between May and October ASK before doing so!!): California has been experiencing a severe drought and the area is extremely dry and the potential for a Wildfire is just too high to risk allowing guests to have an outdoor fire usually between May and October (ASK before lighting one!!). This regulation is determined by our local Fire Department and the banned months could be extended at any time. If you do not find a Fire Pit or Chiminea at the home, the fire ban is in place and they are not allowed PERIOD. When the fire ban is lifted, outside fires are allowed and they MUST be in an approved Fire Pit or Chiminea. If an outdoor fire pit or Chiminea is not provided, DO NOT under any circumstances gather rocks or other materials from around the home and create your own! This does not apply to the Propane BBQ's that are provided for your cooking pleasure. DO NOT use the BBQ for anything other than cooking your meal on, they are NOT intended to be used as a 'Fire Pit' and due to the propane tank attached to them they could explode by doing so. Guest have access to the entire house unless using couples discounted rate, then extra bedroom(s)/bathroom(s) will be locked off. There is a coin operated small laundry room to the left of the parking area (just follow the stepping stones) and is open for guests staying 3 nights or more. Please note other guest may be using them. The Non-Coin operated ones are reserved for Housekeeping. Please observe laundry hours and do not leave laundry the washers or dryers.
