All renters should be 25 or older prior to bookings. We do not discriminate with respect to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, familial status, sexual orientation or gender identity in accordance to the Fair Housing Act and our personal human decency. We welcome all guests and are dedicated to welcoming you to our area! 

Our cancellation policies vary between platforms. We understand life happens! We ask that all of our guests give us as much notice as possible so that we can rebook your dates without loss in income. Minimum 30 days prior to arrival date is ideal for us in this situation. 

We highly recommend travel insurance. We have used and benefitted from travel insurance on some of our vacations. 

When unexpected problems arise, travel insurance can help make things right. A travel protection plan from Allianz Global Assistance can safeguard your trip investment, reimburse covered emergency medical costs, and give you 24-7 access to Assistance services, among other benefits. Learn more about Allianz Travel. 

• If you have to cancel your trip for a covered reason, travel insurance can reimburse you for your prepaid, non-refundable trip costs. Without insurance, you could lose your vacation investment.
• If you experience a covered medical emergency, travel insurance can help ensure you get high-quality care and reimburse you for covered medical costs. Without insurance, you may have to pay out of pocket when traveling overseas.
• If you have a covered travel delay, travel insurance can reimburse you for necessary, eligible expenses like hotels and meals. Without insurance, delays can be expensive.
• If you face an unexpected crisis, travel insurance gives you access to 24-Hour Hotline Assistance for expert help and advice. Without insurance, you’re on your own.
