We are not responsible for damages incurred due to weather or cost to evacuate your family or vehicles. When checking out of your property in winter months DO NOT turn off heat or power and set heat to 60 degrees to keep pipes from freezing up and damaging the property.

For arriving guests, this might necessitate a delay in using the hot tub on the first evening of your stay due to the water temperature. Pregnant women, elderly persons, and persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, or high or low blood pressure and on certain medications should not enter the tub without prior medical consultation and permission from your doctor. Do not use the tub while under the influence of alcohol, tranquilizers, drugs that cause drowsiness, impaired judgement or that raise or lower blood pressure. Do not use alone. Enter and exit slowly. Observe reasonable time limits (that is 10-15 minutes) then leave the water and cool down before returning for another brief stay. Long exposure may result in nausea, dizziness, or fainting. No breakable objects or glass in the area. Children under 12 yrs. old must have direct adult supervision while in the tub. We apologize for this inconvenience, but your safety is important to us. The hot tub is drained, sanitized and refilled between guests regardless if you use it or not, as this is a North Carolina health law. We have no way of knowing if it has been used, so please do not ask that the hot tub fee be waived because you do not intend to use it. Please use plastic cups and hot tub towels provided. Keeping the hot tub covered when not in use will maintain the temperature setting. Please do not sit on the hot tub cover.

Should the property be damaged due to the service animal, cost of repairs will be deducted from the security deposit. The pet policy, as stated above, applies to service animals in its entirety.

If there is a garbage can at the house do not leave trash in it when you depart, you must remove ALL trash and take it to the trash drop off site. Please do not leave trash bags on decks as it attracts animals. It’s a good idea to dispose of trash each time you go into town.

You provide all paper products (paper towels, toilet paper, and napkins), coffee filters, trash bags, soaps, (hand & body soaps, dish, dish washer and laundry soap).

Any items left and not claimed within 30 days after check out date will be donated to a local charity.
FIREPLACES, CAMPFIRES: The fireplace in the home is gas. Unless you bring your own cookware, do not use the cookware in the home to do any outdoor cooking! No campfires anywhere but in the designated fire pit. Remember, you are on private property and fire is a huge threat to the area. If you start a fire and it gets out of control you will be held personally, legally and financially responsible, so never leave a fire unattended. DO NOT CUT ANY TREES! Absolutely no non-combustible items are to be burned. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ALLOW CHILDREN TO WALK THROUGH THE ASHES AS THEY MAY RE-IGNITE THE FIRE AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
PHONE: There is no house phone. Remember you are in the mountains and your cell phone company may not work here or reception might not be dependable because of the mountains so keep this in mind, however during construction we found that everyone’s cell phones worked fine.
FOOD: Please do not leave any food items in the home. Take ALL food with you when you depart.
HEAT/AC: During the winter months, upon departure place the heat on 60 degrees. In the summer, please set at 75 degrees. When you leave the cabin for the day, please check the thermostats and leave them set on a sensible temperature for your return. The units work most efficiently when the temperature is changed no more than 3-4 degrees at a time. During the winter months, never turn the heat "OFF" because it can cause freezing pipes in a short amount of time.
WINDOWS, DOORS & LIGHTS: Upon departure, check that all windows are in their locked position and doors are securely pulled tight and locked. Additionally, turn off all lights to conserve energy. We use LED lighting and are energy conscious consumers. MOBILE SLEEPING UNITS: No mobile sleeping units are permitted at the home for additional housing or bedding. This includes sleeping bags, inflatable mattresses, etc.
SUB-LEASING: We do not permit the sub-letting your unit and doing so will result in forfeiture of all monies paid, eviction and termination of rental.
PEST CONTROL: Pest control is scheduled regularly. Animals love the mountains too. Please keep in mind that you are in the mountains and may encounter an occasional insect, chipmunk or mouse. We ask that you keep the screen and front/garage doors closed, as well as keeping screens in the windows to reduce these unwanted guests from joining your vacation.
TERRAIN: Be mindful of rocks, tree stumps, soft dirt/mud, steep terrain, and the possibility of poison ivy and/or poison oak.
SEPTIC SYSTEM: This home has a septic system. DO NOT dispose of grease down the drains. With the exception of toilet paper, do not flush any other materials such as sanitary products or applicators, diapers, etc. Failures of the septic system due to these reasons may necessitate the need for a costly emergency pump out and you will be responsible for these charges against your deposit and/or credit card. No refunds will be issued related to departures due to negligent over-taxing of the system. It is advised that laundry, dishes and showers be staggered and not done at the same time. This will help insure the availability of an ample supply of hot water as well.
MEDICAL AND FIRE EMERGENCIES: Call 911 for all medical or fire emergencies. In case of fire or house damage also contact 911.
EVICTION: According to Section 42A-23 of the North Carolina Vacation Rental Act, a tenant staying for 30 days or less, may be evicted in an expedited eviction proceeding if the tenant does any of the following: (1) Holds over possession after his or her tenancy has expired; (2) Has committed a material breach of the terms of the vacation rental agreement that, according to the terms of the agreement, results in the
