House Rules

Please , no smoking in the house.  If you smoke outdoors, carefully dispose of smoking materials.  In consideration of others, this includes cannabis products and vaping. 

You must abide by all hot tub related rules, prominently posted near the hot tub and in the house near the front door.  

Take great care with candles or other flammable items.  Place no more than three logs in the fireplace at a time.  Do not burn anything except wood. 

Please dispose of pet waste in the outdoor containers provided, and empty them when you leave.  Pets may not be left unattended for more than four hours.  You will be held responsible for pet related damage.  

Please do not move furniture, especially on wood floors which can be scratched.  Replace items you have moved or used in their places before you leave so that I can find them.  

Illegal activities on the premises are not permitted. Evidence that these have taken place may result in termination of your occupancy without refund. 

You may not exceed the permitted overnight occupancy of eight adults.  You may have daytime visitors but large parties are not permitted except by prior arrangement. 

Dispose of trash on leaving in the containers near the road.  Run the dishwasher before you leave so that the cleaners can empty it.  Please close windows and set alarm when you leave.  Do not make the beds- the cleaners need to know that they were used. 

Treat Lilac House as you would treat your own home.  Notify me immediately of any breakage, damage, or unsafe situation. Your contract will include either a damage deposit or insurance against damage. I will address any deficiencies in the most timely fashion possible. 

Evidence that you have violated house rules may void your contract and your stay may be terminated without refund.
