2023 Code of Conduct & House Rules:

All potential guests must complete a rental application where you will be asked to provide a full guest list, ages of all guests, the name, address & employer of the primary applicant as well as your home insurance policy details as your third party liability travels with you when you rent. The primary guest must be 30 years of age or older to book. If you have one 30 year old and the rest are younger please DO NOT instant book. Email us to discuss options for you. Large groups of singles are encouraged not to instant book as many of our owners prefer families only. If you booked using AirBNB, you will also be required to pay the refundable damage deposit either through the AirBNB resolution center or directly to MDR. This will be refunded to you within 7 business days of check out and after the post check out inspection confirms there is no damage to the property. No reservation is confirmed until approved by MDR. The application will form the basis of your short-term lease agreement with MDR and you understand and agree that you will abide by the terms therein. We will see you when you check in. If you have misrepresented yourself (your age, purpose of use) or your group, we reserve the right to cancel your stay without refund. If we find out after the fact you have automatically forfeited your damage deposit for breach of contract.
