I do not allow guests use of the barn and there is a back portion of the upstairs that is closed off during winter months, as there is no heat in the rear of the home. I am seldom in the area during the busy winter season, however I am always reachable via cell or email. I also have several helpers in the area should any need for assistance arise. General Disclaimer: As demanded recently by Airbnb and in accordance with transparency, there is a chance that any living form of wildlife can and may enter any of my homes at anytime. While we at our homes in Vermont do everything we can through use of exterminators and deterrents, there is still a chance that critters may still occasionally find their way in. Country life comes with country "life". From Bears to mosquitos...to ants, mice and possibly a wild Yak....We don't invite them in, nor do we accept wildlife/critters in our homes, but they may still find their way. This is a part of mountain home living. I am also supposed to state that lightening may also strike my home at any given time. Apparently Airbnb believes this must be mentioned. Fun days we're living in. Thank you for your understanding. BEDDING is provided for all beds, but NOT for the futons or couches. Guests should plan ahead and bring additional bedding for those who plan to sleep on futons and/or couches. We would so greatly appreciate No Smoking of any kind on/in property. A Mandatory $500 fee will be charged for any evidence of smoking is found by the cleaning staff upon check-out. No Pets Allowed. A Mandatory $500 fee will be charged for any evidence of pets found by the cleaning staff upon check-out. PLEASE NOTE: All guests staying over 20 days will also have additional requirements for their stay. Trash and recycling removal are the responsibility of the guest (This also goes for any stay over 10 days) Electric bills are the responsibility of the guest Fuel (oil or gas) usage is the sole responsibility of the guest (home will always have a full tank before any 20 day reservation begins) Lawn care (April through Oct) and snow removal (Oct through April) are the responsibility of the guest Any upgrades desired by the guest for cable and internet are the financial responsibility of the guest, but the host will facilitate the changes. FOR ALL GUESTS OVER 20 DAYS, OWNER OR REPRESENTIVE OF THE OWNER HAS THE RIGHT TO ENTER THE HOME WITH NOTICE TO FIX/REPAIR/UPGRADE OR REVIEW THE HOME'S SYSTEMS IN FULL. IF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION ARISES, ENTRY CAN BE IMMEDIATE WITHOUT NOTICE. Please note that for all stays over 30 days, the guest booking the reservation will be responsible for payment in full regardless of any mid reservation cancellations. Airbnb charges long term stays (stays over 30 days) monthly. But at all of my homes during prime seasonal windows, guess booking will be responsible for the entire amount of the full reservation amount once they book. If a guest chooses to cancel their stay for any reason once the reservation has begun, they still must pay the full rental amount of the initial agreement. Additionally, any stays over 30 days from October through May (prime winter season) must be paid in full before the first day of the rental agreement. This is for groups choosing to rent seasonally. If a home is going to be booked for a seasonal rental, it simply makes it too difficult to then rent it if a renter backs out. Pre-check cancellations, (cancellations made before the day of check in) will be subject to all usual "strict" cancellation policies set by Airbnb. Thank you for understanding. Please clean all dishware. Additional cleaning fees may apply. Parking In the plowed Driveway areas only please. Please keep gatherings to your reserved group. We are all about good times, but ask that your enjoyment of our home is kept to your group. All dishes must be washed when you leave to not incur additional cleaning fees above the pre-paid amount. Additional fee will be taken from security deposit. Please leave all trash bags sealed in the front mudroom when you leave. Pease leave ALL used towels in the tub downstairs.
