2. Smoking & Vaping
* Strictly no smoking or vaping anywhere on the property, including outdoor areas. This includes tobacco, marijuana, and electronic cigarettes. Violations will result in a minimum $1,000 charge.

4. Cleanliness & Respect for the Home
* We ask that you keep a tidy home for the duration of your stay.

* Please do not take indoor items outside, or outside items inside (furniture, linens, etc).
* Please do not put away dirty linens or dishes. If you use the clean linens for the hide-a-bed, please leave them and the bin out so the cleaners know they have been used!
