Cleaning Fees & Property Damage Fee

Cleaning Fees - We do not charge a cleaning fee for renting our Guest House. We are hoping that you take care of the Guest House and property like you were visiting a favorite relative or good friends. We take pride in providing a nice home for you to enjoy spending time here.

Excessive Cleaning - A fee of $30 per hour will be charged for any excessive cleaning. We are not expecting you to clean the whole house before you leave, but we do expect you to clean up after yourselves, such as dirty dishes, muddy floors, trash left in the house, including any spills or unexpected messes. Cleaning supplies are found in the Laundry Room, Extra garbage bags are in the junk drawer in the kitchen and a vacuum cleaner is in the coat closet by the front door. Clean out all your food items from cabinets, refrigerator, and counters. Don’t leave any of your belongings behind. They will be considered part of the excessive cleaning fee if we need to pick up after you.

Property Damage or Loss - Additional fees will be imposed if the Guest House property is damaged, misused, broken, or lost. Let us know of any damage which occurred during your stay, whether the damage was to linens, furniture, appliances, or property. A damage fee will be charged upon inspection. If you don’t let us know and we find the damage or lost items upon check out, you will be charged double the damage fee. An inventory of all the Guest House items is performed before and after your stay. You will be charged the replacement cost for any items missing or broken upon your departure.

Pets - Pets are NOT allowed in the Guest House or on the Guest House property. This includes all types of animals whether they are kept in a create or are outside animals. Please remind your guests or registered visitors that pets are not allowed. If evidence is found from a pet, either left in the yard or in the house, you will be charged a $200 cleaning fee.

Smoking - Smoking, vaping or illegal substances are not allowed.  We also don’t allow candles, incense or diffusers in the house. Air purifiers in the bedrooms will not eliminate the smell from smoke. Smoking can be done outside with the doors and windows closed and at least 50 feet away from both air handlers (located on each side of the house). A $200 fine will be assessed for any evidence of smoking or smell of any smoke in the house.

Return of Damage Deposit - Your deposit, minus any additional fees, will be returned to you via a check in the mail within a week of your departure. Any fees will be deducted from the $200 Property Damage Deposit. Any charges, fees or costs totaling above $200, you will be notified prior to us charging your credit card. If the credit card becomes invalid we will notify you to give us an alternate credit card number. If we are unable to reach you, authorities will be called, and proceedings will be filed in the local court system to follow up on the charges occurred during your stay.
