THIRD PARTY RENTALS Third party rentals are prohibited (the primary renter must be onsite throughout the rental). TRAVEL PROTECTION REMINDER There are plans available for purchase on Airbnb and elsewhere that may reimburse you if you have a travel delay, or if other circumstances occur. While hosts are not involved in that element of guest plans, we do want to remind you to consider looking into Travel Protection. Please be sure to read the fine print - some insurance companies are not covering COVID related cancellations, because it is seen as a “foreseeable circumstance.” Guest access Guests have private use of one bedroom. The guest full bathroom is normally fully private, and will be shared only if our family or friends are staying in another bedroom. Guests have shared use of the ground floor of the home, including the pool, hot tub, and yard.
