Rental Agreement

​Your patience with the abundance of detailed information here in the lease and in the coming emails will be greatly appreciated.  Please understand that it is necessary to be perfectly clear so that there are no misunderstandings or unpleasantness during your stay.  We maintain a very high standard which I believe you will appreciate as a guest. Our past guests have appreciated it and this is evident in the great reviews they have left us. We have a lot of rules and guidelines, but without it, it would be impossible to keep such a pristine and beautiful cabin for you to enjoy during your reservation and for guests in the future.  Our goal is for your experience to exceed your expectations. Thank you.  Evelyn

3.   Check-out Requirements:  We expect you to clean up after yourselves.

If it is possible, we would very much appreciate you starting a load of towels so that my housekeeper has a head start getting the cabin ready for the next guests. If linens are used for other purposes and stained, you will be charged per item. $15 per bath towel - $7 for hand towel and washcloths.  Cleaning rags are available under the sink or in the pantry.

We do check these and charge accordingly.  You may not disable any security camera at the property. Doing so will result in immediate eviction.   We prefer to collect the per person rate, but we will charge a penalty rate of  $100 per person per night if you do not register the total guests with you on this rental lease and update it if necessary within 2 hours of check-in. Refunds for no-shows are not given.  I specifically agree to the penalties for not providing accurate information.     {BXSL} Signature
