RENTER RESPONSIBILITY:

As the renter of this furnished property located at 28 N Cloudstone Dr, you assume all reasonable responsibility for the care of the premises and its contents.

OCCUPANCY:

Maximum occupancy:12 guests

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT:

Check-in time: 3pm

Check-out time: 11am

Late check-out may result in additional fees.

SAFETY & SECURITY:

Safety is your responsibility. There are inherent dangers in a desert environment (cactus, other flora, animals, extreme heat/cold, high winds, sun exposure, rocky and sandy landscape, etc.). Please note the existence of a working fire extinguisher, located next to the fireplace. Security is the responsibility of the guest while occupying the premises. Guests are advised to lock doors and windows when it is prudent to so and every time the house is unoccupied.

PARKING:

The county permits us to host five total vehicles on the property.

EXTRA GUESTS & GUEST BEHAVIOR:

We do not allow unauthorized guests to sleep at the house. Breaking this rule may result in a fine. The renter is responsible for the behavior of his/her/their group. Loud or unseemly behavior that disrupts the quiet nature of this desert neighborhood or violates this agreement is grounds for being asked to leave. Anyone who has not been made known to rental agent as a member of the renter’s group is not permitted to stay onsite overnight.

PARTIES OR EVENTS:

In accordance with our Community Disturbance Policy, we do not allow guests to throw parties or events in our home. We greatly appreciate your compliance on this as we do not want any issues with our neighbors.

QUIET HOURS:

There is a strict 9pm curfew for any loud or amplified music, as per County ordinance. After 9pm, bright lights must be shut off, noise levels lowered and voices hushed. Please be respectful of our neighbors. We care about our neighbors and take this very seriously. Failure to follow this rule will result in your immediate eviction from the rental property, and you will forfeit all rent amounts paid for your reservation. You may also be subject to a fine.

SMOKING:

Smoking (of anything) is strictly prohibited inside the home. Smoking is however permitted in the outdoor spaces. All smoking debris must be cold and placed into a trash receptacle. If evidence is found that you or anyone in your party have smoked inside, an additional cleaning fee of $350 will be charged. In short, it's not worth it, just take it outside.

PETS:

We love animals! However, to preserve the integrity of our home and to avoid issues for guests who may have allergies, we unfortunately do not allow pets at our property. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for respecting that rule. If there is evidence of pets having been in the rental property, you will be asked to immediately vacate the rental property, and will forfeit all rent amounts paid for your reservation. You will be subject to a fine of $350 if you are found to have brought an unauthorized animal onto the property with you.

BROKEN ITEMS:

If, for any reason, you break an item during your stay, please let us know. We understand that accidents happen, but in order for me to fix or replace something for a future guest to enjoy, we will need to know that it is broken. I appreciate your honesty. If you come to us first, we are much more understanding about whether or not to charge for potential damage. An inventory count is taken prior to check-in and after each check-out; any unreported stained, damaged or missing inventory will be deducted from the security deposit.

FIREPLACE:

There are two indoor fireplaces in the living room and in the playroom, however they are currently inoperative. Please do NOT attempt to start your own fire in the fireplaces. Fire safety in the desert must be taken VERY seriously and it is critically important to both yourself, our neighbors and the surrounding area that you do so as well.

FIRES IN GENERAL:

Please do NOT for ANY REASON start a fire anywhere on the property. The forest is VERY DRY and fires can go up in an INSTANT and become extremely devastating. The area is also very windy and as such fires can travel at incredible speeds here. For the safety of both yourself and everyone in this neighborhood around you, please do not start any fires during your stay.

FIRST AID & FIRE EXTINGUISHER:

There are many spiny plants; if you are accidentally injured we have a first aid kit under the kitchen sink. In case of any fire-related accidents, a fire extinguisher can be located in the living room next to the fireplace. Please remember that the fireplace is inoperative and should not be used unless otherwise instructed.

MATTRESSES & BED BUG PROTECTION:

All beds and pillows are covered with a bedbug protector as well as an additional cover for water spills in order to keep your sleeping environment clean. The mattresses were brought brand new, and immediately covered with mattress protectors for safety. All the mattresses in the home are ultra comfy memory foam beds.

WILDLIFE:

ALWAYS wear closed toed shoes outside. Do yourself a favor and protect those feet! Additionally, it's important to always keep your eyes peeled for snakes (I’ve yet to see any on the property, but it's best to be careful). Mostly there are a lot of lizards, rabbits, mice, and squirrels. You may also see or hear some coyotes and bears. Since they are present in the area, it's important to never leave any small children unattended.

CATASTROPHIC EVENTS & EMERGENCY EVACUATIONS:

If a natural catastrophe (hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, etc.) or any situation simply beyond our control impairs the vacation rental, Mountain View Cabin is not responsible for finding alternate lodging for the renter or for the renter’s financial losses related to transportation or alternate lodging. There will be NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR EMERGENCY EVACUATIONS/WEATHER CONDITIONS. Therefore, we suggest you consider Travel Protection Insurance to secure your vacation investment and eliminate your financial risk. There will be no refunds of any kind for evacuations/weather conditions.

SURVEILLANCE DISCLAIMER:

Property may be subject to surveillance cameras in public areas to ensure guest safety. We have couple of actively recording cameras overlooking the entrance and the front courtyard which records video and audio. There is also a smart home device on the property which actively records noise decibel levels. It does not record audio or video. All devices are on the exterior of the property. These devices help us ensure the safety and wellbeing of our community and are not used for any other purpose.
