To assist you with your arrival and checkin, we'll send you a URL link to our Guest App immediately after your booking. • Guest App • You can use our Guest App as a manual to find out useful information about the property, local recommendations, to add the Sauna to your stay, hire bicycles and to access the property. • Online Checkin • As it is a requirement in Austria to submit a copy of an ID when travelling, you'll be asked to complete a short online checkin prior to receiving access codes for the property. • Refundable Security Deposit • You will also be asked to read and sign our rental agreement, and submit a refundable security deposit in the form of a card authorization in order to receive the access codes for your self checkin. Your card authorization will automatically expire 48 hours after checkout. • Why do we hold a Security Deposit? • Unfortunately, we have been victims of large scale theft in the past. As a result, we are now required by our insurers to hold security deposits with guests. Don't worry, the reasonable and normal use of the property will not result in any additional charges. • What is the Security Deposit used for? • Unpaid mini-bar consumption, unpaid extra guests, unpaid dog fees, unexpected additional cleaning (including, but not limited to bodily fluids) and the extremely unlikely event of property damage or theft. • Provided • Natural linen bedding and Turkish cotton peshtemal towels (can also be used for lake bathing or the sauna too), vegan natural soaps & shampoo, dishwashing liquid & sponges, bin-bags & recycling materials. • Bedding • We will prepare 1 double bed for you, and if you have booked for 3/4 guests, we'll leave bedding for the second sofa-bed in the baskets/inside the sofa-bed. • Tourism • Our farm is a short 10 min drive to Appenzeller mountains in Switzerland, a 3 min drive to Lake Constance (or 30 min walk through a nature reserve), and a 35 min drive into the Austrian Alps.

We're also available on the phone, but we cannot take any payments over the phone, on-site or in cash. All payments are handled online. • Dogs • As Airbnb doesn't enable us to charge for dog based on size (which we believe is fairer) Airbnb bookings do not include dog fees.

Medium Dogs: €18/night/dog - Spaniel size or cockapoo size. Under 15 kg. Large Dogs: €20/night/dog - Labrador size upwards. Over 15 kg.

If you answer "yes" - we will send you a link to add and pay for your dog via your custom Guest App. • Dangerous Dogs • Please note that dogs that have been listed as 'dangerous' by the Austrian state, such as American Bulldogs and similar, are not permitted to stay on the property.
