We do not have any control over this.

See our floor plan.

**NOTE since the video was done there are a few small changes: the main level bedroom now has a king size bed and NOT two twin beds (see photos). The second bedroom upstairs no longer has the dresser. It has been replaced with a twin bed (+ king) with a closet system (see photos). So total of 3 KING beds and 1 twin.

If you choose to leave a $1500 deposit as opposed to paying for the $59 damage insurance, that is strictly between you and VRBO. We do not hold or disburse this amount at the end of your stay. It is due at time of booking, and is reimbursed around 2 weeks after your stay.

We do NOT refund in inclement weather. If you are concerned about this please ensure you have appropriate travel insurance.
