We loved the house, which I had selected primarily for the large dining table that looked like it could accommodate 12 people.With overseas relatives visiting, we wanted to have dinners with our St Louis relatives and play cards and visit after dinner. There would have been 20 altogether the first night, so I asked the owner about sufficient chairs and kitchen supplies. She shut down that idea rapidly & said our contract specified no parties or gatherings.I should have paid closer attention to the house rules, but I might not have picked up on it anyway, because in my mind we weren’t planning a party, just gathering in-town relatives to share a meal & visit.Fortunately a granddaughter volunteered her house, but the real inconvenience came when our British cousins had to leave at 6:00p.m. every night, in order to put their baby to bed at the VRBO. Their evening time with the adults they’d come to visit was cut short by not being able to use the VRBO as a central dinner location.We only had 7 people staying in a house that sleeps 12, so we were surprised to learn that dinner guests were forbidden.Other than that, the house was very satisfactory and we liked the neighborhood. This is merely a cautionary tale. Read and understand house rules before you sign up!
