Looking for an intimate setting to celebrate an anniversary, birthday, retreat or wedding and would like to have additional day guests? If you intend to host day visitors and anticipate surpassing the MAX SLEEPING occupancy of the home at any given time, categorizing your gathering as an "LARGE GATHERING," you must adhere to LARGE GATHERING OBLIGATIONS: • To proceed with your special large gathering request, a mandatory signed LARGE GATHERING CONTRACT, distinct from the Rental Agreement, is necessary. A non-refundable event fee of $600 applies. • The total guest count, encompassing both day and overnight guests, should not exceed 28 guests—no exceptions.

Violation of this policy may lead to fines and responsibility for septic system damage. Damages to the septic system are not covered by insurance. • Please note that the home is not designed for extensive indoor large gatherings. In case of inclement weather, consider alternative arrangements. Outdoor gatherings require a contingency plan for inclement weather such as a tent or restaurant reservation.
