Sorry, no pets allowed. Thank you for understanding!

Quiet Hours (8:00 pm - 7:00 am):
Sound travels easily in this desert neighborhood. No loud music outdoors. To be considerate of neighbors, please keep noise and sound to a minimum and STRICTLY no music after 8:00 pm, especially while outside the house or on the deck. Disruptive noise and neighborhood nuisance puts our rental permit at risk. Initial reports and complaints of noise shall get a first warning. Additional reports and complaints of noise after 30 minutes from the first warning will incur a $200 penalty. Any further reports and complaints afterwards shall warrant an eviction without a refund.

Smoking:
This is a non-smoking home. Smoking is STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED inside. You can smoke outside the house or on the decks with doors and windows closed to keep smoke out. Please make sure to use the provided ashtray to help keep the area clean. Reports of smoke inside the house through our detectors or house cleaners shall incur a $2000 penalty fee.

Guests:
If you`re thinking about inviting friends over, please reach out and ask us. We`re easygoing about inviting a couple of friends over for brunch or dinner, but we want to be considerate of other neighbors in case you are thinking of inviting more than a couple of friends.

Kitchen:
When checking out, please throw dirty dishes into the dishwasher and start the cleaning cycle on Auto (the dishwasher detergent is under the sink). Please wash all used pots, pans, kitchen knives, and other kitchen items by hand.

Never Leave Food or Trash Outside:
Sedona is filled with wildlife. Never leave any food trash outside the house. Please keep them inside. If they have to be taken outside, make sure to keep them in the trash bin and lock it with the cable system at all times.

Wildlife Reminder:
Our most common wild visitors are javelinas, deer, and coyotes. Please do not approach javelinas and make sure to give them space. They come in packs and will attack if they feel any one of them is threatened. They do not run away easily, especially when they smell food. Javelinas will attempt to knock over trash bins and scatter trash everywhere. You can make loud noises to scare them away, such as honking your car horn or banging a cooking pot. Do not harm javelinas - they are creatures protected by the local regulation.
