Welcome to The Bear Den! To ensure your stay is 5-star quality (and for those after you) we ask that our cabin and its contents be respected throughout your visit. Accidents happen, and if they do, please notify us immediately. In the unlikely event that you experience any issues during your stay, we will do everything we can to address them accordingly, as soon as possible, but please remember that you are renting a house so there are no on-site maintenance personnel.

To provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone there are a few house rules that must be adhered to (by confirming your booking you agree to abide by these rules).

#1 - Check-in is after 4pm.
We cannot accommodate for any early check-in's to allow our cleaners ample time to provide you with a thoroughly cleaned and sanitized cabin.

#2 - Check-out is 10am.
Our cleaners need time to get the cabin cleaned and ready before the next guests arrive. Please be respectful of our cleaners and vacate the property on time. Any late departures will incur a $100/hr charge.

#3 - All renters must be 25+. You may not book for someone else. ID verification required.

#4 - There is a 10 person maximum (8 adults max). If you arrive to the cabin with more than the number you accounted for on the reservation, you will be charged $100 for each person over that number.

#5 - Absolutely no pets allowed. No exceptions. If you sneak a pet in of any kind you will be charged $500 and be asked to leave immediately.

#6 - Absolutely NO Smoking, Vaping, or Drugs of any kind. If you absolutely must smoke, please do so outside the cabin and use the ash bucket provided to keep the property and environment clean. If evidence of smoking is found in the cabin, you will be charged $750.

#7 - There is a camera on the exterior of the property for your protection. If you touch or tamper with any security devices you will be asked to leave immediately.

#8 - NO GLITTER/NO DYE: Glitter is almost impossible to remove and will result in a $1,000 fine to cover excess cleaning. Do not use any temporary or permanent hair dye or other dye products in the rental. Evidence of dye will result in a $500 fine or more if damage occurs to sink, floors, carpets, bedding, etc.

#9 - Pool - You are responsible for the safety of yourselves and your children. Use at your own risk. There are no lifeguards on duty. Children must be supervised at all times in the pool area. There is a pool alarm in the pool for your safety. Please remove the alarm before swimming and replaced when finished. The pool is 4ft deep, absolutely no running, jumping or diving. This is a heated pool preset to a comfortable temperature (just like Disney). No glass in or around the pool area. DO NOT add any foreign substances (soaps, cleaners, fragrances, etc) to the water. Please shower before entering the pool to minimize soaps, oils and detergents that could change the chemical balance of the water. Swim diapers required for our littlest guests who may not be potty trained. You will be held responsible for any additional cleanings needed due to not adhering to these rules.
Lastly, please do not tamper with, touch or take any pool equipment from the pool skimmer or pool area. I appreciate your full cooperation with this as all equipment is necessary for proper pool operation.

#10 - Hot tub - You are responsible for the safety of yourselves and your children. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Children under 16 are not permitted at any time unsupervised by an adult. NO alcohol is permitted in or around the hot tub. DO NOT add any foreign substances (soaps, cleaners, fragrances, etc) to the water. Please shower before entering the hot tub to minimize soaps, oils and detergents that can change the chemical balance of the water. Also shower after exiting the hot tub. Our cleaners drain, sanitize, refill and replenish all chemicals prior to check-in so the water may not be warm until that night. Do not STAND or SIT on the hot tub cover. It is meant to keep the water warm, it can't support any additional weight. When hot tub is not in use, please keep the cover on and the safety rope secured. Keep the temperature between 100-103 degrees at all times. You will be held responsible for any additional cleanings or damage costs due to not adhering to these rules.

#11 - Absolutely no fires of any kind on the premises (including candles). Unauthorized fires will be charged $100 plus any additional damages. Please use the charcoal grill provided for barbequing (must bring your own charcoal). Grill must be cleaned before leaving the property.

#12 - Please note that I adhere to the cancellation policy and do not offer refunds or date exchanges due to illness, weather, power outages, natural disasters, or any other circumstances beyond our control, except in cases of a formal evacuation issued by local authorities. I strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your peace of mind.

#13 - Please do not rearrange any furniture in any room or balcony. There is a locked owners closet in the basement. Please DO NOT tamper with or try to unlock this cabinet at any time. If damage or tampering has been found legal action will be taken.

#14 - Absolutely no parties, events, loud music at any time. The cabin is in a closely populated neighborhood. Please be respectful of others around you and keep noise to a minimum after 10pm.

#15 - Trash - There is a locked bear proof trash bin with 2 barrels inside, located in the driveway, for your use. The code to the lock is 0867. Please keep the bin locked at all times (the bears are very smart). Please do not throw trash over any deck or balcony as, aside from destroying the property, will attract wild animals that can be dangerous. Please use the trash cans in the house and when full put the bag in the 2 barrels provided in the bear proof bin and lock the cage. DO NOT put trash bags on top or outside of the cage.

#16 - Bugs and Critters and Bears, OH MY!
This is a cabin in the woods and there are bugs, critters and bears everywhere. Expect to see and hear them. We have a pest control service that sprays monthly but you may still see some unwanted guests from time to time. Keeping the doors closed and screens on windows or windows closed will help keep those critters and bugs out of the cabin but sometimes they do sneak in uninvited. DO NOT feed or approach any animals, especially bears, they are dangerous! It is very important to keep your car doors locked and windows up at all times, the bears are smart enough to open car doors! Please remove all food from your car. See rule #15 to help keep the bears away!
