This agreement outlines important terms and conditions to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay for both parties. We appreciate your cooperation in reviewing and signing the rental agreement promptly to confirm your reservation. Bugs and animals: we are on a farm, while we make every attempt to clean and maintain a bug free environment, you may see some bugs and animals including but not limited to spiders, ladybugs, mosquitoes, flies, honey bees, wasps, and the occasional field mice. They come with the property and despite our efforts you may encounter them during your stay. No Pets Policy: For the safety of our farm animals and your pets, we do not allow pets on the property. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy. However, we do welcome ESA and service animals, provided they comply with ADA rules. Please note that any misrepresentation of the animal or handler will result in eviction without refund and will be reported to the authorities. Cancellation Policy and Trip Insurance: Please be aware of our strict cancellation policy. We highly recommend purchasing trip insurance for your reservation. Water Safety: Given the presence of open water like the Esopus Creek, it's crucial to prioritize safety, especially with children around. Train Sounds and other sounds: On the other side of the creek is the historic West Shore Railroad which connected trading between Albany and NYC (via Jersey City). While the sound of the goods train might be perceived as a disturbance by some, it's also part of the unique charm of the Hudson Valley. Besides it is an eco-friendly mode of transportation compared to other alternatives like trucks, contributing to reducing carbon emissions and traffic congestion. We are a working farm, so you might see and hear persons, equipment and animals. If you are a light sleeper or do not care for the sounds of nature, our home will not be the right fit for you.
