Guests have full access to the entire property to make themselves at home.

This space is ideal for families, couples, and business travelers alike. We welcome dogs as long as their owners are well-trained!

To maintain a comfortable, smoke-free environment, we ask guests to respect our no-smoking policy anywhere on the property. Please Note: The house does not have cable TV, but we offer a Roku box for all your streaming needs.

Thank you for considering our home as part of your journey. We’re excited to welcome you!

Basic House Rules
No smoking (vaping included) on the property.
Pets CANNOT stay unattended in the house or the backyard, if you are leaving, please take them with you.

No parties/gatherings/etc - Our expectation is that you rented the home for the number of adults/kids you indicated when making the reservation. Please communicate with us any alterations in advance. We do report violations to the booking platform.

Parking
The garage is not for vehicles. Please park a single car in the carport or driveway and any larger vehicles on the side. If you have a “leaker”, park on the street. Please avoid parking on the road.


Things to Know
-The front of the home is under video surveillance.
-We do not provide the code for the door between the garage and carport. You can leave
this way and press ‘lock’ on the deadbolt to secure the home. To return you will need
to enter through the front door.
- Be mindful of locking door handles to the front door except when you are at home.
Deadbolts only.
- The backyard is on an auto watering system. Typically 3 times a day for 5 minutes
depending on the season. Backyard lights come on at dusk for 3-4 hours.
- Yard maintenance typically happens on Thursday or Friday. Please have dogs inside or tied
to leash during his stay as the gate often stays open. He’s usually done in 30 mins.
- WiFi is reliable but if it needs to be rebooted, you can message us. We can do it
remotely sometimes.
- Trash pickup is on Monday.. So we ask our guest staying over night on Sunday`s to please take the bins to the road as a courtesy and in hopes to not inconvenience the next set of guests potentially checking in that following week with a full trash bin. If this is not something anyone in the party can physically accomplish during the stay please reach out to us directly so we can facilitate the maneuver.
- The fridge offers filtered water. The previous owners (who we established a great relationship with ) were drinking the faucet water for 30 years.
- You are welcome to use the BBQ. If the propane is low or runs out during your stay the easiest solution is to go down the street to exchange it either at the gas station (7th St and Greenway) or The Home Depot (21st St and Bell), snap a picture of the receipt and we will happily reimburse the cost. ( My wife and i live about 20 minutes away, have 2 young children, so our response time is definitely not as efficient as a reimbursement ) That being said please enjoy the amenity and communicate if there are another other issues, and please be advised we do expect you to clean any remnants of your
cooking.

Televisions
- All remotes should be working and are labeled. We’ve invested in what we believe is a
good system, paid a pro to set it up, seen it work, and tried to bolt down the plugs,
connections, presets, etc. Fixing it or even offering phone advice is not our forte. You
can message during regular hours but please lower your expectations. Truly, please do
not alter the cables, etc.

Emergencies
-The fire extinguisher is to the left of the family room TV on the wall.
- In the event of a water leak, the entire house can be shut off with the valve that is
just beyond the front porch against the garage wall. Contact us please.

Heat & Air Condition
- As explained in the App profile, The A/C can not be set below 73 degrees. (we do get notifications remotely if it drops below this temperature, and will address accordingly) The A/C just can not handle it when the temperatures are too high. If this poses a problem please contact us ASAP so we can discuss.

We definitely appreciate those who reset the a/c to a temperature that minimizes
power when you leave for more than a few hours during your stay.

If the a/c fails (and it will if it never shuts off) it will be almost impossible to get a
repair person inside 2-3 days. They are way way too busy. Pretty please be respectful :-)

***Please note that our AC will shut off if it detects the windows or doors are open for a prolonged period of time.***

Deliveries
It`s probably 50/50 if any packages you decide to have sent to you will arrive on time. Feel free but we get packages, often, weeks after they were expected.

Doggy Duties
Please dispose of dog poop on a frequent basis and ESPECIALLY on departure.
We have provided a dog bed and we ask you please avoid pets getting on the bed comforters. We include a couch cover if we know you have pooches, if it is not on the sofa, please let us know.
Feel free to use the hair roller in the cabinet. Same for carpet stains.
Please avoid leaving dog food out too long as it attracts insects.
** As mentioned at the beginning of the House Manual--Pets CANNOT stay unattended in the house or the backyard, if you are leaving, please take them with you!***

These few rules are in place to help avoid any incidental charges and/or disruption to the unit, staff or hosts to allow for a seamless and efficient transaction for everyone involved.
