HOUSE & PET HANDBOOK:
Welcome to our home! We're so glad that you chose to stay with us. While rules are necessary, our ultimate goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable stay for all of our guests. For everyone's benefit we have some house rules set up that we need go over with you:

(1.) We're here to help: Please don't hesitate to reach out! The best way to reach us is through site chat. Guests must also have an up-to-date phone number at all times on their account as a backup method of communication
(2.) Locals: We'd love to chat with you before you book your stay. Please reach out to us first, and we'll assist you with the reservation process
(3.) Visitors and Guests: Please make sure you book for the accurate number of overnight guests. If you are expecting other visitors throughout your stay please send us a simple message through chat. Our space welcomes a maximum of 10 individuals (guests and visitors) at any given time. Only the number of booked guests will be permitted to stay overnight. Any un-approved guests will result in a $100 per person per night surcharge.
(4.) Support: In the very rare event you encounter an issue with the property that requires attention please let us know immediately. We ask that you allow an ARC Lodging representative to enter the property to resolve the issue.
(5.) Parking: Cars are limited to 4 in the nearby area, including the street and neighborhood. This helps us keep the area pleasant and accessible for everyone.
(6.) Celebrate responsibly: You are welcome to host small gatherings for dinner events for your closest friends and family members. Out of respect for our neighbors we do not permit large, loud, or late night parties. As a reminder, quiet time is at 10pm.
(7.) Feel at home, respectfully: We ask that you keep furniture, electronics, lamps, cable boxes, etc in their places. Please do not tamper with, render inoperative, or change any locks, codes, passwords, thermostat limit settings, or monitoring devices as these devices are in place for your protection as well as ours
(8.) Smoking Policy: Smoking is only allowed in the back yard and must be at least 15 feet from any windows or doors into the home. Smoking is strictly prohibited in any area inside the home, the front porch, the driveway, and the front yard. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping these areas smoke=free. This includes but is not limited to cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vaping, hookahs, pipes, cigars, cannabis, etc. A flat $500 damage fee as well as $100/day violation fee for the length of the stay will be immediately charged to anyone found in violation.
(9.) While we ask that food and beverage remain in the kitchen/dining area (especially with children), we also understand it's nice to relax with a drink or a snack in front of the tv. You acknowledge and agree that any spills or stains will result in an additional cleaning fee
(10.) Pets: please see our pet rules below
(11.) Check-in and Check-Out: We often have very limited time to prepare the home between guests. Early access and late departure will not be permitted unless cleared ahead of time with host. Early luggage drop-off must also be cleared ahead of time with host; host is not liable for any damage to or theft of guest's property. Unapproved late check-outs will result in a $75 per hour surcharge (or any portion thereof) past the check-out time.
