Other Details to Note
🦉 THE SPOOKY OWL: MOUNTAIN CARE & SAFETY GUIDELINES ⚠️ ACTION REQUIRED: To finalize your booking, we require all guests to read the following guidelines and reply with the "phrase of the day" found at the bottom of this text. We appreciate your help in keeping our home safe and beautiful! Our Home, Your Relaxing Getaway: As your hosts, Roger and Stephanie, we want you to have a wonderful stay. The Spooky Owl is our personal mountain retreat, and we’ve poured our hearts into it. To ensure a comfortable experience for everyone, please review these guidelines within 48 hours of booking. MOUNTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE & "MOTHER NATURE" • UTILITY RELIABILITY: This is the heart of the forest! While we provide high-quality services, please understand that water, cable, internet, and electricity can be tricky in the mountains. Service interruptions due to weather, fallen trees, or mountain terrain are out of our control. • MOTHER NATURE WINS: We do not offer refunds for utility outages or "mountain life" occurrences (wildlife, weather, or gravel road conditions). By booking, you are choosing a rugged mountain experience—embrace the quiet if the Wi-Fi takes a break! 💧 A Note on Our Cabin Water We want your stay to be as comfortable as possible. You may notice that the water here has a slight golden or earthy tint. Don’t worry—this is perfectly normal for our area! Because we are tucked away in nature, our water comes from a local well. The discoloration is simply caused by natural minerals (like iron) found in the soil around the cabin. While it might look a little different than "city water," our local cleaning team confirms that almost every cabin in this neck of the woods shares this rustic feature. • Pro Tip: If you’ve been out for the day, running the cold water for a minute or two usually helps clear things up! SECURITY & PROPERTY ACCESS POLICIES * Smart Home Security: All smart locks, keypads, and entry sensors are monitored. Any attempt to tamper with, disable, or modify these devices (including HVAC/Thermostat limits and electrical breakers) will result in an immediate $500 security violation fee and potential cancellation without a refund. * Checkout Finality: Once your scheduled checkout time has passed and you have exited the property, return entry to the cabin is strictly prohibited. This ensures the safety of our cleaning teams and the privacy of arriving guests. Unauthorized return will be treated as trespassing and reported to local authorities. ⚠️ STRICT HOT TUB & FIRE PIT RULES * ELECTRICAL INTEGRITY: The hot tub must remain powered on at all times to prevent system failure and freezing. GUESTS ARE FORBIDDEN FROM TURNING OFF THE HOT TUB AT THE BREAKER. Any guest who cuts power to the hot tub will be charged a $500 interference fee plus the cost of all mechanical repairs/emergency tech visits. * HOT TUB ETIQUETTE: Shower before entry. The cover must be replaced and immediately after every use to maintain heat and keep wildlife out. Adding soaps, oils, or "bubble bath" is prohibited and results in a $250 drainage fee. * FIRE PIT SAFETY: Fires must never be left unattended and must be fully extinguished before going inside. We do not provide firewood; please pick up seasoned bundles at Ingles in Blue Ridge or local gas stations. * WILDLIFE & TRASH: Never leave food or trash outside or in the fire pit. All trash must be secured in the "Bear-Proof" bins. Failure to secure trash resulting in wildlife scattering debris will result in an additional cleanup fee. MOUNTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE (SEPTIC & HVAC) * SEPTIC SYSTEM: Only toilet paper may be flushed. Do not flush "flushable" wipes, feminine products, or paper towels. If the system clogs due to prohibited items, guests are responsible for the plumber’s service call. * HVAC SETTINGS: To prevent system freeze-outs or motor damage, please do not set the AC below 70°F or the Heat above 72°F. PROPERTY CARE & MAINTENANCE * MAINTAIN THE SPACE: Do not move furniture, rearrange artwork, or disconnect electronics/cables. * LINEN CARE: Please treat our high-quality linens with care. Do not use bath towels for makeup removal, hiking cleanup, or outdoor use. * REPORT MISHAPS: If an accident occurs, please notify Stephanie or Roger immediately so we can address it before it affects the next guest. GENERAL HOUSE RULES * REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY: Only guests listed on the reservation are permitted on-site. No parties or events. * NO PETS / NO SMOKING: This is a pet-free and 100% smoke-free home (including vaping/cannabis). A $500 deep-cleaning fee will be charged if evidence of smoking is found. * ROADS & DRIVEWAY: Our gravel driveway is steep. While 4WD is not always required, low-profile vehicles are not advised. We are not responsible for towing/travel issues. Regarding Consumables: Occasionally, previous guests leave behind unopened condiments. Please use your own discretion and check for allergens before consuming. We are unable to take responsibility for these items. Our Commitment to You: This is our family home. If the cabin requires an abnormal amount of cleaning due to its condition upon check-out, an additional cleaning fee will be charged. To confirm you've reviewed these guidelines, please reply with our mountain quote: "PEACE IN THE PINES". We look forward to hosting you!
