They are intended solely for security purposes and not for infringing upon anyone's privacy. Guests are strictly prohibited from tampering with, obscuring, or disabling these cameras at any point during their stay. Any attempt to do so will result in immediate eviction from the premises without eligibility for a refund. ✔ NATURE: One of the remarkable features of this home is its serene setting surrounded by trees and natural beauty. As a result, encountering various wildlife is possible during your stay in our home or within the neighborhood. This diverse wildlife spectrum includes squirrels, deer, raccoons, mice, spiders, mosquitoes, centipedes, flies, skunks, ticks, bees, wasps, crickets, ants, frogs, snakes, assorted bugs, and other creatures native to the area. These animals inhabit the natural surroundings, and while we thoroughly clean and inspect the premises before your arrival and maintain routine pest control measures, we cannot influence their natural activities. Occasionally, a stray bug might attempt to find its way indoors, so we kindly request your attention when opening and closing doors to minimize any entry. Please note that refunds will not be issued due to natural elements, like insects, making their way into the house. Additionally, there is a specific season when mosquitoes are prevalent. Although we professionally treat everything on the property, we recommend bringing bug spray if you are sensitive. ✔ MAINTENANCE: All maintenance is normally performed prior to your arrival, but we reserve the right to conduct routine maintenance if necessary.
