Other details :
✹Often booking a large home with multiple parties requires a bit more diligence and attention due to multiple parties. VRBO strongly recommends we use the platform for all communication. Yet, due to the differing needs and complexities, I share the rental information/ welcome letter via email because it’s formatted for readability and its ease in forwarding. My guests really appreciate this system, especially if they arrive prior to the booker.

✹If this is a 3rd party booking, please disclose that and supply a point person's email/phone number as well.

✹At booking, you'll receive a Rental Agreement via email.
I use the return with all guest names as acknowledgement of receipt of this household information.
A couple of days prior to arrival, you’ll receive the Welcome email with all the details you'll need to feel at home. Please share, as it will make for a smoother vacation for all.

It will already be reflected in your quote that each guest over the base rate of 8, incurs an additional $25/each night of the reservation.

✹Please contact me if this a monthly rental and you have pets.

✹If you have any questions whatsoever, please inquire before booking. I make it a priority to respond quickly. It's important to us that your experience is excellent.

✹We don't allow people to stay here other than our guests whom are planning to stay. That said, if you intend to have friends over for a gathering, please contact me PRIOR to booking. I make it a priority to respond quickly. Thank you.

✹No smoking (weed, cigs, e-cigs, vaping) inside the property. There are places for smoking outdoors. It's Oregon, after all!
If you are a group of men having a bachelor party, please book elsewhere.

✹CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT:
