We understand that accidents do happen after all we are all human. Though as unintentional as accidents are, there is a cost to rectify their results. We believe the Limited Damage Waiver is the most practical method for both our Guest and Property Owners alike to provide for those expenses.

• Purchase Limited Damage Waiver (LDW) is a one-time non-refundable fee waiving your financial responsibility for up to $1,000 of accidental, unintentional damage. For full details, read Complete VRA linked above. The amount of the fee is specific to each property.
  
  
• Provide Security Deposit: (As an option to purchasing LDW) Guest may choose to provide a refundable (less damages) security deposit of $600.00 on credit or debit card. Security deposit will be refunded once the property has been fully inspected upon guest’s departure and cleared of all damages. North Carolina Law allows 30 days from departure date to inspect for damages and billed to Guest’s account. If damages exceed the Security Deposit amount, tenant will be responsible for the entire amount and the remaining cost will be charged to the tenant’s card on file. Carolina Mountain Vacations will refund security deposit (minus before mentioned expenses if necessary) within 45 days of tenant departure in accordance with NC law.

 Policies for Carolina Mountain Vacations Pet-Friendly Cabins

A property is only deemed pet-friendly when prior approval has been arranged and non-refundable pet fee has been paid.  Should prior approval not have been obtained or if the requisite pet fee remains outstanding, the cabin will adhere to our Non-Pet Friendly policies, and corresponding penalties may be enforced! 

There are potential consequences for bringing an unauthorized pet onto any CMV property.

Policy for Pet-Friendly Cabins
 
Even though we love all pets, we regret that we are unable to allow any animals other than dogs in our rental cabins.  CMV only accepts well-behaved, housebroken dogs into our cabins designated as pet friendly.  Absolutely no cats are permitted in CMV rental cabins.  For the purpose of this agreement, the term “pet” is always used in reference to a dog.

• To bring a pet to a cabin listed as pet friendly, Guest must make arrangement to include pet(s) on reservation by indicating number of pets and pay a onetime non-refundable pet fee at time of booking or guest may contact office to include a pet on a reservation. Arrangement to bring pet must be made before date of scheduled arrival on reservation to activate pet friendly status of property.
• If prior approval has not been authorized or pet fee has not been paid, the Not Pet Friendly Policy will apply to the property. If an unauthorized pet is found to be, reported to be or there is evidence of a pet having been at property, penalties will be enforced as described in the Not Pet Friendly policy.
• Each property has a maximum number of pets permitted which is determined by the property owner but is never more than 2 pets. Having more than the authorized maximum number of pets at a cabin voids the Pet Friendly agreement and Not Pet friendly policy is enforced.
• Any damages to the cabin or cabin property or another person by or because of a pet will be the sole responsibility of the registered Guest. Guests are held financially responsible for all physical damage to the Cabin (i.e. chewing, scratching, flea infestation, etc.) inflicted on the Cabin by the presence of a pet. If extra cleaning is deemed reasonable due to the presence of a pet (i.e. soiled furniture and/or flooring, hair on furnishings or bedding, fleas), the Guest will be held financially responsible and the credit card on file will be charged for the amount of the repair/recovery. The limited damage waiver (if purchased) does not include damage from pets. 

General rules for pets when visiting.

• In the interest of protecting your dog, a leash should always be used when your dog is outside.  While North Carolina does not have a state leash law, please note that cities and counties may have stricter regulations.  No dog shall be tied outside the Cabin unless supervised by a responsible adult.
• Dogs should not be left unattended in cabins (they are on vacation to).  In an unfamiliar environment dogs may act uncharacteristically and unpredictably.  They may get nervous and bark, causing a disturbance to neighbors.  Or they may harm the cabin by chewing, scratching, or making messes that they would not typically make at home.  Please remember to be respectful of nearby neighbors.  Always use a crate in the rare event that a dog must be left alone.
• Pets are not permitted on furniture or Bedding.
