Check-out instructions

The host requires you complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks, and take out the trash
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Place used towels in the shower or tub
If you moved any furniture, we’d really appreciate it if you could return it to its original spot.
If anything was accidentally damaged during your stay, no worries at all — just let us know so we can take care of it
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
QUIET HOURS: 9 p.m. - 7 a.m. outdoors (so neighbors can enjoy their peace too)
Respect the Septic System: - Only flush the three P's: pee, poop, and (toilet) paper - No wipes, tampons, or other items—they'll cause sewer backups!
TRASH: Please DO NOT leave trash outside overnight. Raccoons will tear open the trash bags and make a huge mess.
