Guest Access:
1. We are opening our home happily to guests through 2025 and welcome gatherings of friends and families. Please know that the house is located in a quiet neighborhood and parties and large events are strictly forbidden by the City of Asheville (via their STR permits), neighborhood associations, and the owners themselves.
2. The basement apartment with a separate entrance to the back of the house is occupied by the homeowner. As the owner garage and entry way is fully separate, guests and owners are unlikely to cross paths or even hear each other during the visit.
3. Pets are welcome at Lakeshore. One well-behaved pet per visit is allowed though additional pets may be accepted with approval by the host in advance. Guests visiting with their furry friend will receive a separate pet agreement which essentially describes the fees and expectations of these special guests. Your pet may not remain in the home unaccompanied.
4. We have a strict cancellation policy according to AirBnB guidelines and will not entertain refund requests outside of the allowable timeframe. We strongly recommend that you seek travel insurance to protect yourself in case your plans change unexpectedly.
5. Please review the rental description prior to making your reservation. We're happy to answer any questions to ensure that you have a wonderful stay by the lake.
Interaction with Guests:
We are fairly busy so you most likely will not see us at the property but we are always available by message or text. I will provide my personal cell phone number if you need it and we also have an after hours emergency number should an emergency arise after 10pm.
