VRBO guests are responsible for cleaning up the yard after using it, and putting the chairs and tables back in place if moved.

The base price includes the person booking plus one guest, any extra guests must pay the additional 30.00 fee. If you are unsure of how many people until the day of, that's ok, we can add more guests and add the fee to the invoice (or the person booking can as well).
