In accordance with North Carolina State Chapter, reservations made under false pretense are null and void and check-in will not be allowed, or guests will be asked to vacate the accommodations. This policy includes reservations made by parents or guardians who do not check in, and/or leave overnight during the length of the stay.

You will be personally responsible not only for any direct damages but also for any loss of rental income and for any other indirect third-party damages that result from your stay (e.g., accommodation and travel expenses of guests checking in after you in case they are delayed until repairs are done).

For the safety of guests, outdoor security cameras are located at the front door and overlooking the driveway. Tampering with the cameras will result in a $200 fee.

If signs of smoking are found on property after departure, the Host will charge $250, and you may incur an additional charge for carpet cleaning and deodorizing the home.
