Walking/hiking
Please enjoy walking around our property. We own 11 acres, but the back 13 (wooded area on top of the hill) are off limits due to the owner’s wishes. It should be marked as such.
You may walk the long driveway and the road, or the woods on our 11-acre side. You must not cross into neighboring land (Lance property or others). Boundaries are clearly marked.
You can hike the woods to the West of our property without bothering anyone. The woods get really overgrown during the summer. Be aware of ticks in the woods.
Across the creek, and over the gravel road, you'll notice a trail head that is marked up to a seating area on the mountain. It then winds down and comes out at the creek again near the bridge.
STRICT BOUNDARY REMINDER:
Guests must not enter, hike, or allow children/pets to cross past posted boundary signs, fences, or wooded hilltop areas behind the villa. Neighboring owners actively monitor that land.
If uncertain, please ask us.

Cancellation Policy
OUR FLEXIBLE GUEST FRIENDLY POLICY: We like to try and accommodate changing schedules and work with our guests. So what we typically like to do in the case of a cancellation request, when request is at least 30 days out, is refund 50%, and then make your dates available. In the case of less than 30 days out, you can cancel, and we can still make your dates available, just not issue the 50% up front refund. Then if we are able to book your dates with another guest, we can issue you the difference minus the credit card booking (4%) and chargeback processing (4%) fees, loss of rent due to replacement booking (if there is any loss and no credit if there is a gain in rent), and a one-time $50 cancellation charge. Being that our place is so popular, and if the cancellation request is far enough out, it is usually not an issue to re-book your dates to someone else.
Below is our stand alone policy:
CANCELLATION POLICY stand alone:
Strict: 50% refund up until 30 days prior to arrival.
For a 50% refund, cancellation must be made 30 full days prior to listing's local check in time. If the guest cancels less than 30 days in advance, the nights not spent are not refunded. If the guest arrives and decides to leave early, the nights not spent are not refunded.
HOLD OR DATE CHANGE: This option only applies to reservations that are 30 days or more out from the date of your request to hold or change. For this option, we would agree to cancel your reservation, refund the taxes, cleaning fee and insurance (if there is any insurance on it) and hold the difference as credit for you to use in the future to book at our place. If we do this, we just need to both agree up front that we are holding what you paid in credit for a future booking, and ideally, up front, go ahead and book your new future date, if possible or known. You'll need to pay a $50 hold/change fee and a 4% credit card processing fee for the new refunds and charges. You would also have to understand and agree that whatever dates you pick in the future, that you’ll accept the current rates, if higher. So on the new reservation, you'd be charged whatever rate you were at on your original reservation, or the new rate, whichever is higher. Rates change all the time on a daily basis, based on time of year, occupancy, and how close or far out the dates are, through an automatic rate management system.
