Rental Policy for Blue Ridge Properties
Deposit and Cancellation
A $200.00 deposit is charged to the credit card provided for each reservation placed. This deposit can be refunded up to 30 days in advance, less a $75.00 processing fee. If a 30 day cancellation notice is not given, THP will process the remaining balance of rental due to the credit card provided up to 30 days prior to check-in.
Noise Levels
Guest agrees to abide by reasonable noise standards, and agrees not to disturb other neighbors. 10PM is considered the beginning of overnight quiet hours. Guest further understands that due to the property's unique location along the Toccoa River valley, noise travels long distances (low noises can travel a half mile and loud conversations can travel two miles). There are a dozen owner occupied cabins within a two mile radius and even though they are not visible, the owners are sensitive to loud noises, especially at night.
Property Damage
THP does not collect a damage deposit. When staying at any THP cabin, Guest is totally responsible for all damages caused by their party. Upon check-in, Guest must inspect the property and notify THP of anything already defective or damaged. Guest agrees to reimburse THP with full payment within 10 days of departure for all repair and/or replacement required to restore the property and furnishings to the condition at the time of check in. Please do not move any furniture.
Pets
Pets are not allowed unless they are individually approved by THP. There is a pet fee of $25 per pet per night, and a non-refundable $500.00 pet fee if any pet occupies the property for any period of time without the prior approval of THP. Guest is totally responsible for all damage or additional housekeeping caused by pet occupancy.
Maximum Number of Guests
The person making the reservation personally guarantees the maximum number of guests associated with the booking, and agrees to an additional fee of $500 per each unauthorized guest.
Smoking
No smoking is allowed inside any THP cabin. All smoking material must be deposited in ashtrays provided at the balconies and decks.
Liability
Guest understands that inherent risks exist with the property's location along the Toccoa River, and with certain paths and trails on the property, and agree to hold THP harmless against any and all claims, damages suits, or causes of action for damages arising from injury to persons or property, or loss of life sustained in or about the house/cabin and improvements thereon, or in or on the walkways, porches, decks, stairways, or roads in front of or appurtenant thereto by any persons whatsoever.
Guest further agrees that Toccoa Management and the owner shall not be liable for any personal injuries or damages to any goods, wares, or property, regardless of how such injuries or damages may be caused, or whether resulting from acts of negligence, or by actions of occupants of adjacent properties or from the action of the elements. This clause shall also apply to all recreational activities including boating, tubing, swimming, fishing, and transportation.
Guests of The Love Shack on the River further understand the risks associated specifically related to access to the sleeping loft via the "ship's ladder." Please see photos at http://www.toccoahouse.com/riverside-cabin/. Guests accept complete and totally responsibility for use and release owner and management of any and all liability.
Property
Guest agrees not to remove anything (e.g. furnishings, appliances, maps, publications, appurtenances) from the properties of THP. The premises will not be sublet or assigned without the written consent of THP.
Landlord Rights
THP shall have the right to enter the premises at reasonable times, and with proper notice, to examine or repair the property.
Abandoned Property
Any personal property left behind by the Guest after check-out will be considered abandoned.
Enforcement Costs
Guest agrees to reimburse THP for all expenses relating to the enforcement of the terms of this agreement, including attorney's fees.
