The following is the agreement between Spring Creek Retreat (SCR)

and _______________________________________ (Guest).

1. Rental dates are confirmed upon receipt of a reservation deposit equal to at least 30% of the total rental fee. The deposit is fully refundable for cancellations received at least 3 weeks prior to the confirmed check-in date.
    

2. Guest is responsible for maintaining the premises in good order and appearance. Guest agrees to pay for any and all damages, repairs, replacements, and maintenance needed to return the property to its former condition. We require a valid credit card on file as a security deposit. One dollar will be charged to validate the card. (Examples: One guest sawed off a large limb from a historic beech tree which the deck is built around because they said it interfered with their fishing. Another guest left the propane grill on under the kitchen window until it melted the frame.) 
    

3. If Guest is paying by check, the check must be received by SCR at least three weeks prior to check-in. 
    

4. Check-in time is 3:30p.m. or later. Check-out time is before 1 1:00 a.m. Guest agrees to notify SCR in advance if check-in will occur after 7 p.m. Guest agrees to pay $50 for each hour or fraction thereof that any member of Guest's party arrives early or stays late unless SCR has approved of the arrangements in advance.
    

5. Guest is aware that the following are not permitted: pets, smoking inside the house, hunting on the property (the otters, crane, eagle, etc.) are our friends) , and loud parties (the noise travels for miles along the creek). 
    

6. SCR supplies sundries (toilet paper, light bulbs, etc.), linens for all beds and bathrooms, dishes, and an assortment of kitchen utensils and equipment including pots/pans, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, stove/oven and refrigerator. Guest understands that the linens are for indoor use only.  Guest will provide towels for outdoor use. If you are renting both houses, anything you move from one house to the other must be returned to the original house. 
    

7. The maximum number of people permitted in Guest's party is the number for which Guest is paying. Non-paying visitors (people who are not staying at the house) are limited to ten for the Ayuwasi House and 6 for the Creek House.  Violation of this maximum occupancy provision can result in significant problems due to overuse of the septic and water purification systems, which can damage the pristine nature of the property. 
    

8. Unless Guest is renting both houses, Guest agrees to ensure that his/her party does not disturb the tenants of the other house.
    

9. Guest agrees to indemnify and hold SCR harmless from all liability, loss, personal injury, or damage arising from any nuisance or harm made or suffered on the premises by Guest, member of Guest's party, or visitor, or from any carelessness, neglect, or improper conduct of an persons entering, occupying, or visiting the SCR property.
