Things to know

House rules

Reservations require approval before confirmation. Maximum occupancy is six; no additional persons are permitted. Smoking is not allowed. Events are prohibited. Event-related, commercial or other non-traditional uses, including rotating guest groups during one stay, require prior written host approval and may incur additional fees or an increased security deposit. One hypoallergenic, non-shedding dog of 30 lbs or less is permitted; all other pets, multiple dogs and dogs outside these restrictions require express approval. Utilities are included, but guests are responsible for excessive utility usage, defined as costs over $135.00 per night of the reservation. One end-of-stay cleaning is included. For stays longer than seven nights, one cleaning per week is mandatory at the guest's expense. Payments are non-refundable unless otherwise stated. On cancellation, Marquis will try to work with the owner to reopen and rebook the original dates, at the owner's discretion. If the dates are rebooked at the same or a higher price and the replacement reservation is paid in full, a refund less a penalty of 20% of the total reservation amount is issued. If no replacement reservation is made, guests may retain their original dates if payments follow the agreed schedule and Marquis receives written notice at least 72 hours before arrival. Credit-card balance payments are capped at $3,500; payments over $3,500 must be made by check, ACH or wire. In lieu of a security deposit, the property has up to $25,000 in damage protection, subject to the booking agreement. The owner may show the property to prospective renters or buyers, with efforts to provide advance notice and schedule showings during reasonable daytime hours.

Getting there

The home is at the end of a winding country lane and cul-de-sac. It is not suitable for multiple families, unrelated guests or children. The primary renter must be at least 30 years old. Three bedrooms are on the second floor and one is on the first/main floor. Outside Memorial Day to Labor Day, inquire before booking about outdoor furniture and equipment availability; seasonal cleaning and updates typically occur in late April or early May.
