The Ranch no longer collects a per person/day Guest Usage Fee at the Welcome Center. They are now having the property manager collect 13.5% of the rent and remit to the Ranch. This is an extra fee that we collect through VRBO just before check-in. You still need to check-in at the Welcome Center but will not be charged by them.
This home has exterior audio/video cameras in the front and back of house.
