Any other person on the property is the sole responsibility of Guest. No more than 6 people are permitted on the property at any one time without the permission of the home owner. NO SMOKING INSIDE THE HOUSE WATER & SEPTIC The house is on a well and septic systems. The septic system is very effective however, it will completely fail if improper material is flushed down the toilet. Toilets are for turds and you can avoid being one by NOT FLUSHING anything other than toilet paper down the toilet That means no tampons, applicators, sanitary pads, diapers, condoms, floss, cigarettes, etc down the toilet cos it will seriously mess things up. NO PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY OR VIDEO/FILM PRODUCTION. No shooting for editorial, advertising, short film, feature film, portfolio, catalogue or look book is permitted without the written consent of the homeowner. LEAVE THE HOUSE AS YOU FOUND IT It's ok to move stuff around. We want you to be comfortable. But if you do, put things back. NO SUBLETTING INDEMNITY Whilst the house and land are privately owned; the owners are not responsible for any accidents, injuries, illness, or death that occurs while in the house or on the property. The homeowners are not personally responsible for the loss or damage of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. All guests should be aware that the house is situated in the woods and whilst it is extraordinarily beautiful and there have been no incidents in the 12 years that we've owned the property, there are many number of things that can go wrong and cause injury and death. The forest is home to snakes, spiders, foxes, deer, coyote, field mice, groundhog, squirrel, chipmunk, beaver, bees,wasps, bats, hawks, eagles, bears and millions of insects. The potential for harm is always present from any number of sources. Guests could drown in the lake, be struck by a falling branch or get crushed by a suicidal tree. They could stumble over a step and break their leg, or be shot by a drunk hunter, who can't tell the difference between Joe Biden and Joe Rogan. They could choke to death on a lost frog that leaps into their mouth or have their testicles gnawed off by a deranged and no doubt confused by the 'squishy not crunchy nuts in its mouth' squirrel, whilst sun baking on the dock in the nude. By accepting this reservation and signing this, the guest agrees that they and their guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the home, lake and property. Furthermore, they agree to indemnify the owners from any claim for any accident, injury, illness, theft, or death, that may occur in relation to their stay. Basically, in strict layman's terms, sometimes in life shit just happens through the fault of no one in particular and if the gods happen to take a dump on you during your stay it's not our fault or responsibility. If a guest has 12 Negronis, and falls into the firepit or decides to unleash their inner Marco Polo and explores the wild in the middle of the night, gets lost and succumbs to a complex myriad of lifes cruel random misfortunes it's on them, not us.
