Other Things to Note:

★ COVID-19 SANITIZATION ★



Heath, safety, and wellbeing of our guests are of utmost importance to us. For this reason, we use a thorough and extensive process of cleaning after each check-out.



We charge a pet fee of $100 per reservation for 2 pets maximum.



*If you neglect to inform us ahead of time that you are bringing a pet with you than we reserve the right to either TERMINATE your stay early or charge an additional $100 on top of the original pet fee.



The following additional charges apply to late check outs/early arrivals, assuming we can offer this at all (we often can’t so please never assume this will be allowed):



1 hr or less early arrival or late departure: $50

1-2 hr early arrival/late departure: $100

2-3 hr early arrival/late departure: $200



These fees are primarily in place to highly discourage late checkouts/early arrivals since this causes our cleaning service undue stress to prep the unit prior to your or the next set of guest’s arrival. This also increases the need for them to rush/cut corners, increasing the likelihood of them not cleaning the unit to the high standard which we hold them to.



REFUND DISCLAIMER:

Please note that if a refund is issued for your booking, the processing fee of 3.9% will not be refunded. The refunded amount will be the total paid minus the 3.9% processing fee per Stripe’s return policy. This applies to direct bookings and bookings made through select booking channels. Thank you for your understanding.

Great location. Beautiful apartment. We would have paid a lot more for a hotel with a similar size and amenities. We had our 2 dogs with us so it was important for all of us to have space and be comfortable. The hosts sent very clear and simple check-in and check-out directions. Also, while we didn't end up needing it, i appreciated that there was information in the apartment and the host let us know that if we needed any recommndations on what to do or where to go during our stay. Would highly recommend for a short or long term stay.

10/10 the cottage was cozy and clean. We had five adults and slept very comfortably. The queen size bunk beds are perfect! They even have a door to have privacy in the bunks. Our two dogs were more than comfortable. There is no grass on property, but there’s grassy areas near by. Our neighbors in the house out front were very nice and we didn’t cross paths much. The outdoor cameras made me feel safer when leaving our pups inside while we went for dinner. The area was safe I felt very comfortable walking alone at night, as we walked everywhere. Washer and dryer are in the garage below. There is also an outdoor shower as well as a fire pit! We had a larger suv and full size 4 door truck and fit them in the rocky area (backed in) and in front of the green steps by the main house to park. The bathroom is a shower with separate large tub and sink with mirror, and the separate half is a sink with large mirror. We had no issue all getting ready at the same time. Shout out to Debbie for helping us with a couple very small issues we had upon arriving. The cottage is perfect for couples trips, family trips, or girls trips! This is definitely the place we will be recommending to friends. Can’t wait to be back!
