MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY LIMIT: The occupancy in a unit shall not exceed the maximum limit set at any time. No more than one unit may be rented to the same responsible party.

As Renter on File you agree to be there for the entire duration of the reservation. Renter and all Guests accept to provide proof of identification at anytime. Any violation of these standards will be grounds for immediate eviction without refund.

FURNISHINGS & AMENITIES: All rental properties are completely furnished to include towels, bed linens, fully equipped kitchens and televisions. All units have electric or gas heat and most have a fireplace or woodstove. Firewood and propane are not provided. Every effort is made to keep each property and its equipment in good working order; however, NO REFUNDS will be made for mechanical or technical failures, including, but not limited to, hot tubs, Internet and televisions. There is a STARTER SUPPLY ONLY of toilet paper, bath soap, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent and trash bags.

Emotional support animals are not permitted except as authorized pets. A maximum of four pets are allowed per property, per reservation at a Pet Friendly property. Infraction of this policy will result in renters assumption and payment of all charges incurred for the complete removal of pet germs and allergens, completed to the satisfaction of MountainTop Realty.

ROADS AND DRIVEWAYS are routinely plowed. Some roads require vehicles with 4-wheel drive and/or chains. Snow chains are recommended for icy conditions. It is your responsibility to make sure your vehicle is properly equipped for snowy, icy mountain terrain. MountainTop Realty is not responsible for removing snow from decks or walkways. Please plan accordingly.

Violation of any of the covenants and/or other applicable regulations may result in immediate eviction and loss of all rental monies.

GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY: Because the Property is a privately owned home, all Occupants must comply with this good neighbor policy.
