The Space: Please read over ALL my house rules before booking my home by going to the House Rules section; below you will find the most important notes that I want to make you aware of. After 10 years of being an AirBNB superhost, I have learned the following rules are 100% necessary. The general idea behind my rules is, "respect my neighbors, no rowdy parties, no noise after 10pm...this is a nice, quiet neighborhood...there will be serious consequences to ignoring my house rules so book elsewhere if you don't trust your group to follow rules." That's the general idea. Friend groups that are gathering for birthday, bachelor, or bachelorette parties will be accepted on a case by case basis. I am only able to rent to respectful groups who follow rules. If your group is planning to do a lot of binge drinking and partying with loud music, please find another location; I could even host you at other properties I offer, but this neighborhood is a family-friendly environment and I want to keep it that way. A $1,500 security deposit is required for all groups renting this home to enforce three (3) house rules: 1) GUEST LIST must be provided before checkin and any changes to guest list must be approved before guest is allowed on property. To prevent any miscommunication, a "guest" is defined as anyone that sets foots on the property during your stay (only exceptions are Uber/Lyft drivers and delivery people). An open-guest-list party is strictly prohibited; I have a zero-tolerance policy toward unauthorized guests on the property and in the event of a noise complaint, IDs will be checked and anyone left off the guest list can result in immedate cancellation of your reservation. 2) 10pm QUIET HOURS- Enforced by the City of Mendota Heights. City law states it should be totally silent around the house atarting at 10. What this means for your group is that all outdoor activity must be brought inside by 10pm. If neighbors can hear people talking/yelling/laughing and or music after 10pm, that is a problem with the city. If you can keep your conversation to a hushed whispering level, then by all means have a chat, but voices should not be heard outside after 10pm. Guests walking to and from the house to get things from the car can either be totally silent or if they need to talk, they must only speak at hushed levels. There should be no car honks from remote control locking - cars need to be manually locked. 10pm is the magic hour and everyone in group must be aware of this time. 3) NO STREET PARKING - there is enough parking for 7 total cars at the house. If all 3 rules are followed, the security deposit is released within 24 hours of checkout time. Depending on the severity of the offense, either partial or full security deposit will be withheld and disbursed to the affected neighbors. Early checkin/Late Checkout is available on a case by case basis. If able to provide early check-in or late check-out, I charge $100/hour. When you request either option, please tell me exactly the time you are seeking. Dogs under 50 lbs is welcome at $150/dog/stay. 2 dog limit. Please put blankets on any furniture your dog is spending time on. Please kennel your dog(s) if no one is home and pick up any of their business in the yard.

City law states it should be totally silent around the house starting at 10pm. What this means for your group is that all outdoor activity must be brought inside by 10pm, including pool and hot tub use.

If you can keep your conversation to a hushed, whispering level, then by all means have a chat outside, but voices should not be heard by neighbors after 10pm. Guests walking to and from the house to get things from the car can either be totally silent or if they need to talk, they can also speak at hushed levels, but getting things from the car or smoking outside are not viable excuses to socialize.

Dogs under 50 lbs is welcome at $150/dog/stay. 2 dog limit. Please put blankets down on any furniture your dog is spending time on – helps to contain pet dander that future guests who may have allergies would appreciate. Please kennel your dog(s) if no one is home and pick up any of their business in the yard. Getting Around: Two parking spots in garage and space for 6 cars in the driveway. The right side of the house is directly on Delaware Ave but the road is blocked from vision by trees that also block most, but not all, of the sound of passing cars. Delaware provides easy access to highway 62 which will take you to the Twin Cities and all its suburbs super easily and quickly. Being 10 minutes to the airport, planes are flying overhead and can be audible at various times of day. Bring a portable speaker or move the provided Echo dots outside for music. With a little music and poolside conversation, the sound of any planes or cars are much less noticeable. Please just keep music to a level that won’t disturb the neighbors. This is super appreciated!
