About the house…

Accidents happen… if you break something please leave a note so that it can be taken care of for the next occupants.  However, the group coordinator and invitees will be responsible for any excessive damage to the property, the house or its contents.  An itemized list of damages and an invoice for the repairs will be sent to the renter payable immediately.

Bridge Creek Cottage is a pet-free and non-smoking facility.  There is a bucket with sand to safely deposit cigarette butts on the front patio.  No spray adhesives are permitted indoors.  Dying fabric in the washing machine is not permitted.

A cleaning company will come to deep clean after you leave.  Please leave the house in an orderly fashion.  

Accidents also happen with people.  There are sharp cutting systems and hot electric tools for guest use.  The terrain behind the Cottage changes from flooding and the trail is uneven and may have debris.  

I agree that Bridge Creek Cottage will not be held responsible or liable for injuries or damages resulting from actions or neglect on the part of coordinator(s) and invitees while at Bridge Creek Cottage.
