SMOKING- If you have smokers in your group, they may smoke on the deck, gravel area, or driveway but must use a sand bucket to dispose of butts and ashes. No butts or ashes may be thrown on the ground at any time.

Smoking is not allowed inside the house or buildings, or the grassy areas outside. The main risks are: OVER OCCUPANCY - Our permit limit is 8 people overnight.

PETS - The Golden Bungalow is pet friendly. We will ask for a small donation for extra cleaning of carpets, furniture, baseboards, and refrigerator coils so we can keep the property fresh and clean for all of our guests who may suffer from pet allergies. For your pets safety as well as our home, pets may not be left alone in the house or locked in a room at any time. We appreciate your efforts to keep your pet in a kennel or boarded offsite while you are away from the home. (We have one medium sized kennel which we can loan to you.) There is a fenced backyard your pet can use. It may be a shared yard if there are guests below during your stay, so, please do not leave your pet unattended. There is a possibility of conflict with neighbors who walk their dogs in the neighborhood. For your pets safety they must always be on a hand leash or under reliable voice control when outside. We appreciate your efforts picking up after your pet and disposing in the exterior trash cans. Surprise animals of any kind at any time will result in added charges up to $500/day. DAMAGED OR MISSING ITEMS- Notify the manager at once if something breaks or spills that you can’t repair properly or clean up by yourself. If it wasn’t your fault or it’s normal wear and tear, we don’t charge for that but please still let us know anyway, so it doesn’t impact the next family checking in after yours. Our policy is to charge only the cost of the repair replacement if it was your fault and if we are promptly notified. If we aren’t notified promptly, we may charge double the cost of the repair or replacement. Damage insurance is available from several booking sites or third parties. HOLD HARMLESS - The Guest shall neither hold, nor attempt to hold, the Owner, Owner's agents, contractors and employees liable for any injury, damage, claims or loss to person or property occasioned by any accident, condition or casualty to, upon, or about the Premises including, but not limited to, defective wiring, and the breaking or stopping of' the plumbing or sewage upon the Premises, unless such accident, condition or casualty is directly caused by intentional or reckless acts or omission of the Owner.

Guests agree to comply with all rules, laws, regulations and covenants of the community where the Premises are located. UNAVAILABILITY - In the unlikely event there is a problem with the property making it unusable, we will try to find you equal or better accommodations in one of our homes but if we are not able to do that, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and issue a full refund. Trip insurance is available from several booking sites or third parties and we highly recommend it. CHECK OUT time is by 10AM.

Washing as many towels as possible and sheets of course will be helpful for the cleaning staff, but is not required).
