House Rules

Our Sweet Retreat is meant for singles, couples and families who are looking to enjoy and explore the Wilsonville area and beyond (minimum rental age is 25). We want guests to relax but we also hope to be able to continually provide exceptional accommodations because our guests understand they are to leave our farmhouse as they found it...clean, neat and tidy. Children should have fun while under the watchful eye of their parents.

Guests must sign a rental agreement. A security deposit up to $500 may be required.
A guest guidebook will be provided to guests prior to arrival and you must read and adhere to that information during your stay.
The person named on the reservation will be our point of contact and must be present during the entire stay (unless discussed in advance with us). They are responsible to convey the information found in the Guest Guidebook to other guests staying or visiting and ultimately for the actions of those other guests while at the property during their stay.
The number of guests specified at the time of booking must match the number of those actually present during the stay. The external cameras will verify the number of guests and you will be billed accordingly if there are more guests than your original reservation stated. The property maximum is 10 people for Our Sweet Retreat (and 2 people for The Camping Corner, if applicable) for sleeping and/or occupying the property (buildings or grounds). See next rule if you'd like for exceptions to be considered or ask us about our event packages.
Parties are never allowed. Events, business meetings or social gatherings may be considered but are not allowed without express permission first (additional fee may apply).
Pets are not allowed. If there are any signs of pets on the property you will be subject to a fee and/or your security deposit will be forfeited.
No smoking of any kind inside buildings...if any hint of smoke is detected, a steep cleaning fee of furniture and carpets will be incurred. Cigarette, cigar and pipe smoking allowed outside only but ashes/butts must be disposed of in a container and thrown away and not left anywhere on the property grounds. Absolutely, no marijuana or using drugs on the entire property. Please drink responsibly and dispose of bottles and cans in the appropriate recycling bins. The internet may not be used for illegal activities.
No candles. Instead, we provide flameless, battery-operated candles for you to use. Do not operate indoor fireplace. Outdoor fire pit has specific rules for operating and those rules must be followed or fines may apply...firewood is provided.
Bicycle riding and any water activities on the Willamette River or any other bodies of water are done at your own risk.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

Please be respectful of the surrounding community and our neighbors by honoring quiet hours from 10:00 PM - 8:00 AM. We do have noise monitors at the property and our neighbors have our phone number so we will be alerted if there are issues.
We have a security system with external cameras on the property and they will be turned on.
Please do not have any items shipped to the property without advance permission.
We do have a crew who does weekly yard maintenance at the property so please be aware they may be present at times.
The detached garage is for homeowner use only and should not be accessed by guests.

GUEST & PROPERTY ACCESS

Guests will have full access to the main home, detached studio with sleeping loft and exterior grounds except for the Camping Corner @ Our Sweet Retreat which is a separate seasonal rental unit (May - October) on the same property set apart by a rope fence. The Camping Corner can be reserved as additional space (2 adults max) for those already renting Our Sweet Retreat who want to experience their own personal glamping getaway or for full use/access to the entire property. Guests using that space must be 21 years or older since the camper, outdoor bath and surrounding area is intended for adult use only. If interested, please visit the Camper Page to inquire about availability, rates and specific booking details and requirements since it's a separate rental unit with different guidelines. The locked storage room may be accessed by guests for use of the bicycles, water sports equipment and lawn games...please ask us for the door key code.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE & CANCELLATION POLICY*

First payment is 50% of your booking and it is due at the time of your reservation. Second payment is the remaining balance which is due 30 days before your arrival date and will be collected automatically from your credit card on file. Guest receives 100.00% if cancellation occurs at least 30 days before arrival; Guest receives 50.00% if cancellation occurs at least 14 days before arrival; No refunds within 14 days of arrival.
