6. GATHERINGS, EVENTS, NOISE, ETC. – Any larger gatherings, parties, events, ceremonies, weddings, etc. are strictly prohibited and not allowed at this property at any given time for any amount of time. Any falsified information on the reservation, including gatherings, events or if at any time the maximum number of the property’s occupants is exceeded may result in immediate interruption of your stay including eviction without a refund. Our property's quiet hours (10 PM to 6 AM) are in place to ensure that everyone can enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. We care a lot about maintaining good relationships with our community, so we appreciate you following our "house rules" during your stay.

7. SECURITY DEVICES – Please note that Short Term Rentals Platforms now mandates hosts to implement strict preventative measures at their properties to prevent parties and neighborhood complaints and will penalize hosts if there are any complaints for parties and excessive noise in the communities, including monetary fines and up to the permanent deactivation of the Short Term Property listings. Local municipalities will also penalize hosts if their guests disrupt the peace and tranquility of the communities, by imposing significant fines and also the possible arrest and imprisonment of hosts with repeat offenses at their properties.
Therefore due to the increased demand in bookings for parties and events since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic which are strictly prohibited at our properties, and in order to respect quiet hours in the communities where our homes are located, we have installed the following as preventative measures to deter and stop potential guests who have any intention to violate our House Rules:
• Exterior Security Cameras – We have installed a camera at the front door and back of the house (below the deck only). These cameras are on 24/7.
• Minut Noise Sensors - We use smart home technology to improve your experience. Minut is 100% Privacy-safe noise monitoring. It is camera-free. These sensors detect noise over a certain threshold over a specific period of time during the quiet hours and alert both guests and the host if there is excessive noise beyond an acceptable threshold during the quiet hours. These sensors do not have the ability to record any sound, but only measure the sound decibels during the quiet hours.

8. EVICTION – The host reserves the right to evict any guest and all occupants immediately that provide falsified information or causes the following (but not limited to): excess noise or disturbances, participation in unlawful activity such as drug use, underage alcohol use or fighting. If law enforcement is dispatched to the property due to complaints from neighbors, an automatic eviction will occur with a minimum service fee charge of the full Security Deposit, and no refund for the balance of the remaining reservation.

9. SMOKING – All interior spaces of the property, sunrooms and porches are NON-SMOKING only (including e-cigarettes, hookahs, and medical marijuana). Smoking is allowed anywhere outside ONLY with proper disposal of cigarette waste in waste baskets. Any evidence of smoking inside the house or inappropriate cigarette waste left at the property will result in a $200 penalty charge against your Security Deposit and possibly additional cleaning charge.

10. DECORATION – No use of glitter or confetti inside and outside the property. No use of stickers, tape, or other adhesives that might peel off paint or don’t come off; as well as no tacks, staples, nails or other holes in the walls/on ceilings/doors/frames/decorations/furniture etc. Any balloons need to be taken and should not be left on the entire property (neither in the trash bins). If Guest would bring/get a Christmas tree, please also bring a blanket to protect the floor underneath from scratches (the blankets at the property are not to use for this purpose). The disposal of the tree would be guests' responsibility and would be charged to the guest if left behind.

11. BBQ GRILL – We provide a grill on the rear deck. Please clean the grill after use.

12. FIREPLACE - The fireplace should not be used unattended.
