Other Details to Note
Guest Rental Agreement, Security Deposit, & ID Verification Required: ❗️All guests must complete a Guest Rental Agreement, ID verification, and Security Deposit before receiving Arrival Instructions. Security Deposit Options: ➡️Non-refundable insurance waiver ➡️Option for a refundable security deposit instead—please inquire for details. This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). We understand that security deposits can feel like an added hassle, so we offer the smaller non-refundable insurance waiver as an alternative for shorter stays. This option provides peace of mind for both you and us, covering common accidental damages—such as a spilled drink or a broken dish—without requiring a large upfront payment. Our goal is to ensure a smooth, stress-free experience for all guests while maintaining the beauty and comfort of our home. As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $3 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots. Also important to note: 🐾Pets are welcome with prior approval before check-in. A pet fee of $75 per pet, per stay applies. ❌No Smoking or Vaping: This is strictly a smoke-free property. A $1,000 cleaning fee will be charged for any violations. 🤫Noise Policy: This home is in a peaceful, scenic area. Please respect quiet hours from 10 PM - 8 AM, and be considerate of the surrounding neighborhood. 🌦️Weather notice: Louisiana weather can be unpredictable, and while we do our best to prepare for anything, we cannot be held responsible for delays, power outages, storms, or other unforeseen events outside our control. Refunds will not be issued for weather-related events, utility interruptions, or other circumstances beyond our influence. We recommend purchasing travel insurance for added peace of mind. If it’s been raining, the backyard tends to stay a little wet so the fire pit may not be useable and your pups may get muddy if left unattended outside. Please review the house rules and feel free to reach out with any questions before your stay. We look forward to hosting you! 😊

Ubers are available in Robert but I would highly suggest having your own vehicle as it may take a while to find a rideshare and there isn't much within reasonable walking distance.
