House Rules

🏡 House Rules – THE PONDEROSA CABIN

✅ No Smoking – This is a non-smoking home. The mountain area is high-risk for wildfires. Smoking of any kind (including e-cigarettes and cannabis) is strictly prohibited inside the property. A $500 fine applies for violations.

🚫 No Parties or Events – Large gatherings, no unauthorized parties or guests, and events are not allowed. If reported, you may be asked to leave without a refund.

⏳ Check-In & Check-Out

Check-in: After 4:00 PM
Check-out: 11:00 AM sharp. A late check-out without approval may result in an additional $50 per hour fee.

🐾 Pet Policy

Pets must be kenneled overnight and supervised at all times.
Any pet damage or excessive cleaning required will result in additional charges.
Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.

🏠 Respect for the Property

Do not remove any items from the house.
Please contact us immediately if anything breaks, so we can resolve it quickly.
Any damage beyond normal wear and tear or missing items will be charged to the guest.

💧 Water & Energy Conservation – We are in a mountain environment where resources are precious. Please use water and electricity responsibly.

🗑 Trash & Recycling – Dispose of garbage properly in the designated bins. Do not leave trash outside, as it attracts wildlife.

⚖ City Ordinance Violations – The Ponderosa Cabin operates in compliance with local short-term rental regulations. If the city issues a fine due to a violation caused by a guest (e.g., noise complaints, occupancy limits, parking violations, etc.), the full amount of the fine will be charged to the guest.

🎉 Have Fun & Enjoy Your Stay! – We want you to have a wonderful time at The Ponderosa Cabin! Please realize we care dearly for our home but can't be in it all the time, so we share it by renting and hope to continue till potentially transition to full time in a few years. Please care for it as your own, protect the property and surroundings and reach out if you need anything.

By booking The Ponderosa Cabin, you acknowledge and agree to abide by these house rules.
