House Rules

You must be vaccinated, before you request to book. I am a nurse at a nearby hospital and we still care for Covid patients and I have kept my home Covid-free so far, so I need you as a renter to be Covid-responsible. My son and I are living in the house and are both vaccinated. I keep rooms and bathroom clutter-free, noise to a minimum; I expect the guest/s to be mindful of other guests in household. No shoes allowed in the house, please and thank you.
