I will not be able to arrive before 5:00 PM, how do I check in?

We will need to receive your rental money in advance so that we can leave directions and keys in the pick-up box beside our front door.

How must we leave the property?

Please leave it the way you found it – clean. All of our rentals have a mandatory cleaning fee that was included with your reservation. On the date of your departure please make sure the property is “broom clean”. We ask that all dishes be washed and put away, make sure comforters and blankets are left folded at the end of the bed and the house be left in overall good condition. Should the house require an excessive cleaning and an additional fee is charged, it will be deducted from your security deposit.

What do we do with trash?

You must remove all trash and food upon your departure. We will provide you with directions and hours to a local transfer station.{/mooblock}
