Can I make calls from the property if my cell phone* doesn’t work?
Yes, you can make Local calls from the property telephone. Long distance service is not provided. Please bring a calling card with you to make a long distance call if you need to do it from the house.
Does the property come with Firewood?
Properties do not come with firewood stocked at the property. Firewood may be ordered through Deer Ridge at least one week prior to arrival for a fee of $50. Small bundles can also be purchased at local grocery stores. Please confirm with your reservation associate that the home you have reserved does indeed have a wood burning fireplace. Many of our homes have gas logs installed or may not have fireplaces
How many people can I have stay with me in my Rental home?
Each home description states the maximum number of people the house sleeps, including children. This reflects the septic capacity of the property and beds in the home, and should never be exceeded. If your group exceeds the maximum occupancy as stated, this is treated as a material breach of your lease agreement and grounds for an expedited eviction proceeding through the Vacation Rental Act of North Carolina.
Can I bring my Pet?
For properties which allow dogs, there is a two dog maximum and a non-refundable fee up to $125 per dog plus tax will be charged in order to permit the dog. Cats are not permitted in any of our rental homes due to Allergy issues.
Cleaning Fee
A Departure cleaning fee is charged to the Guest on all Reservations. The cleaning fee is different for each property and varies in accordance to the length of stay.
