Use of Cabin
All renters are expected to leave the property in the same condition or as good a condition with respect to the structure, furniture, antiques, and surrounding property, with reasonable wear and tear expected.  This is a basic requirement to assure future rentals with North Country Vacation Rentals. Guests are financially responsible for any missing items or damage to the property made by himself/herself, his/her family, their guests, or pets during his/her stay.  All items must remain inside the cabin in which they were found.  Renters are not allowed to move property (such as kitchen items, porch furniture, etc.).
Locked areas such as the owner's personal storage areas are exempt from this lease and are off-limits to renters.  Entry into these areas is prohibited.

Cause for Eviction

• No subleasing of the property during your stay is allowed. The person making the reservation and acknowledging these Terms and Conditions must be present during the entire rental period and must be the responsible person in charge. No one else will be given access, and failure for this person to appear will result in the immediate eviction of all members of the party.
• The property shall not be used for any commercial purposes or for any activity or purpose that is in violation of any regulation or against the law. No under-age drinking or illegal drug usage will be accepted or tolerated. Any group whose behavior creates a disruption or interferes with their neighbor's peaceful enjoyment of their property will not be allowed to stay and no refund of monies will be made.
• Pets are allowed only in Pet Approved Cabins with preapproval. A pet fee of $10 per pet per night is assessed and must be paid before the Arrival Date. Pet owner is responsible for cleaning up after pet and any damages. If a pet has not had prior approval and evidence of a pet is apparent, a pet fee of $200 will be charged. A fee of $500 will be charged for evidence of a pet on/at a Non-Pet Property and pet will need to be removed.

Acts of God
In the event that an evacuation is ordered due to acts of God including but not limited to, tornadoes, floods, snowstorms, etc., the rent for such time will be pro-rated and refunded. Should one of these occur prior to the check-in date and leave the rental property unsafe, a full refund of all monies paid will be given. In the event there is a power outage due to a storm there will be no refunds.

Cabin Unavailability
Cabins for Rent through North Country Vacation Rentals are owned by individual owners. There are some cabins that are listed For Sale. North Country Vacation Rentals has contracts with all current cabin owners and is under contract to honor all reservations for 90 days in the event of sale or removal from the rental pool. If an owner decides not to honor the rental contract or the cabin is foreclosed/faces short sale there is a chance that the reserved cabin may not be available. In this event, North Country Vacation Rentals will work with you to move you to a comparable cabin. If there is not a comparable cabin available, you will be refunded all monies paid. By providing North Country Vacation Rentals with the first payment requested, you have agreed that you are aware of the notice above and agree that you cannot hold North Country Vacation Rentals or any cabin owner liable for damages in the event that your cabin is no longer in the rental pool and unavailable.

Housekeeping
The rental property has been professionally cleaned prior to arrival. There are no daily housekeeping or linen services. Kitchen, bath and swim towels are NOT provided. North Country Vacation Rental will provide mattress pads, sheets, pillows with cases and a light blanket.

Maintenance
North Country Vacation Rentals cannot guarantee against mechanical failure of heating, air conditioning, TVs, satellite receivers, VCR/DVD’s, internet access, or other appliances. North Country Vacation Rentals will make every reasonable effort to arrange for repairs quickly and efficiently or move Guest(s) to a different property if possible. Should a repair person make a call to a unit and find that the equipment is in working order and the problem was due to the Guest(s) oversight or neglect, the charge for service will be the Guest(s) responsibility. No refunds or rent reductions will be made due to the failure of appliances or equipment. Authorized employees or repairmen may enter the premises during business hours for purposes connected with the repair, care, or maintenance of the rental unit. We will do our best to have any repairs done quickly; however, NO discounts or refunds will be given for equipment or appliance failure. North Country Vacation Rentals offers rental homes “as is”.  Items in the home may not be exactly as seen on websites or print material.
