House Rules and Requests

These are the house rules and requests for this home, managed by Air Concierge, Inc. for the homeowner. Please read them before you book — by booking, you agree to follow the house rules for this stay.
If you booked anywhere other than Airbnb, your reservation is also governed by the Air Concierge Rental Agreement you sign before check-in, which controls if it conflicts with these Rules.
Stricter HOA, city or permit rules control where they apply. Where a law or a documented HOA/building rule requires a signed form, an ID check, or other paperwork for this home, that requirement is disclosed in this listing before booking.
Airbnb`s own policies control between you and Airbnb. Nothing in these Rules asks you to pay a fee for a cleaning or checkout task, and Airbnb does not enforce these Rules — if there is damage or an extra documented cost from a stay, we will raise it through Airbnb`s Resolution Center with documentation.

IF SOMETHING ISN`T RIGHT — TELL US FIRST
This is a privately owned home, not a hotel. No staff are on site. It is cleaned and inspected before you arrive, and things change between a morning clean and an afternoon arrival.
Message us as soon as you notice anything. We use best efforts to respond in real time and to start work as fast as we can; some repairs need a part or a licensed trade and take longer.
If we fix it, or give you a reasonable workaround, within a reasonable time, no refund or credit is due.
If a problem makes the home unfit to occupy or removes a major part of its use, and we cannot fix or substitute it in a reasonable time, we credit the nights actually affected, offer comparable accommodation if available, or reschedule.
Please don`t leave without telling us. We can`t credit a problem we were never given a chance to solve.


WHAT WE DON`T REFUND FOR — examples, not a complete list
Insects, spiders, webs, rodents, wildlife and birds native to the area, and pest treatment. Wind, dust, sand, pollen, ash, smoke, haze or debris, including on decks, patios, furniture, pools and spas. Weather of any kind, and the travel conditions it causes - snow on the road, chain controls, delays, or a drive you would rather not make. If a government order closes the only access route so that you cannot reach or occupy the home, that is handled under force majeure below. Seasonal changes to views, foliage, water levels, snow, lake or beach conditions, or landscaping. A missed housekeeping detail found after arrival - a dish put back not fully clean, a missed spot, a stray hair. Ordinary wear, minor marks, dated furnishings, or decor differing from photos where the home is substantially as described. Noise, light or activity from neighbors, construction, road work, traffic, aircraft, agriculture or community events. Slow, intermittent or reduced internet, Wi-Fi, cable, streaming or cellular service. Speed and performance are not guaranteed and no home is guaranteed suitable for streaming, gaming or video calls. Interruption of any utility or service caused by the provider, including public safety power shutoffs. Amenity items - Wi-Fi, TV, BBQ, fireplace, game room, a small appliance. HOA, city, resort or utility restrictions and closures. Scheduled maintenance, landscaping, pool service or vendor visits. Illness, changed plans, work, flight delays or non-arrival.
None of the above is a force majeure event, however it is described. Force majeure applies only where an order or a physical impossibility prevents you from reaching or occupying the home - a mandatory evacuation order, a government order closing the home or the only access route to it, loss of safe access, or an uncurable loss of an essential utility - and the remedy is a credit for the nights occupancy was impossible. Bad driving conditions, a road that is slow or requires chains, and a decision not to travel are not force majeure.

WHAT TO EXPECT — LOCAL AND SEASONAL CONDITIONS
We disclose all of the following for every home we manage, whether or not any of it happens during your stay, so that none of it comes as a surprise.
Neighborhood. These are privately owned homes in real neighborhoods, not resorts.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I WANT TO START... by saying that the host company helped with a lot via quick online communications, which was SUPER helpful. However I heard from them afterwards that I would receive a 50 gift card if I gave them a five star review, and I just can't sell my honesty like that, so I deducted my overall experience to 3 stars.THE GOOD: The house was big, and street was quiet, and forest backyard was simply amazing. The fully stocked large kitchen helped me as I have celiacs and can't eat out much. The deck is great for star gazing. The kids area is fully stocked with toys and books, the kids beds have giant stuffed bears! And my child loved the wooden bear at the entrance. Newish kitchen appliances! Full size washer and dryer was so helpful. It's VERY family focused!!THE BAD: Overall cleanliness wasn't great, beer caps scattered under carpets, couches, outside. Other trash found in garage, and under one sofa. There was what appeared to be dog barf under the other couch. There was mouse POOP in one of the kitchen drawers. They need better house cleaners. The big bummer was that the sliding glass doors unlocked with the slightest tap/jiggle and if you're scared about people entering the house at night, then it's not for you. If you're worried about your kids getting out, one door has a dowel but it's too short, and young kids could leave the house if they wanted. They need new/better back doors/locks. I hope they can use this feedback to further improve their nice place.
