Other Details to Note:
✶ Respect for the Neighborhood ✶
This home is located in a quiet downtown neighborhood with long-time residents nearby. We welcome guests seeking a relaxing stay rather than a party setting. Please keep outdoor noise to a reasonable level at all times and especially after 10 PM. If you’re planning loud gatherings or late-night outdoor activity, this may not be the right home for your stay.
✶ Noise Monitoring Devices ✶
To help maintain a peaceful environment, we use a privacy-safe noise monitoring device that measures overall sound levels only — it does not record audio or conversations.
✶ Smoking ✶
Smoking or vaping is never permitted inside the home. Guests may smoke only outdoors in the designated patio area and must use proper receptacles for disposal. Please keep doors closed while smoking outside to keep the home fresh.
✶ Firepit & Grill ✶
The home features a propane grill and outdoor firepit for guest use. Check any posted local fire restrictions before using. Please follow all posted instructions and use only as designed — never add wood, charcoal, or other fuels. Always turn off the propane and ensure the flames are fully out before leaving the area.
✶ Pets ✶
We’re happy to host qualifying pets — please message us in advance to review our pet policy and ensure a great stay for both you and your furry friend. The yard is fully fenced for convenience, though it may not be escape-proof for smaller pets.
✶ Rental Agreement & Permit ✶
Upon reservation confirmation, guests will need to complete a rental agreement outlining the terms and conditions for use of our property. This mirrors the same terms listed on VRBO, but a signed copy is required as a condition of our city permit. You can review a copy of the full agreement under the House Rules section.
