The Property is located at:  N990 Arbor Lake S., Lyndon Station, Wisconsin 53944.  For weekly rentals, the property will be ready for occupancy at 4:00 PM local time on the beginning date of the lease and must be vacated by 10:00 AM local time on the ending date of the lease. Shorter stays may have earlier arrival times.  An e-mail confirmation with arrival and departure dates will be sent as part of the payment invoice.   A four digit door code will be set the day of arrival to a number provided by Lessee.  Lessee shall pay as rent the rate agreed upon by you and Hideaway Rentals and confirmed on payment voucher, plus all applicable taxes and other charges.  Accepted forms of payment are MasterCard, Visa, Discover, Traveler’s Checks, Cashier’s Checks, and Cash.  Personal checks may be accepted if received forty-five (45) or more days prior to arrival.

SECURITY:  In lieu of a security deposit, we will hold your credit card on file as security and guarantee for payment.  If there are damages to this unit during your stay, we will bill your credit card and send you an invoice.  If Owner discovers that there has been damage to the property or its contents while Lessee is the occupant, Owner will capture an amount from your credit card to cover the estimated cost of repairs.  The amount captured will be an estimate and will probably be more than the actual cost of repairs.  Owner will provide a statement of the damages and the cost of the repairs after all repairs have been completed.  If there is a refund due, it will be returned to the credit card after all repairs have been made.  Owner reserves the right to complete repairs ourselves at a rate of $20.00 per hour if Owner or its agent has the skills and knowledge to make the repairs.  This will usually save time and money.  If Owner attempts to charge your credit card for damages and the card is declined, you agree to pay damages by another method within ten (10) days of notification.  By booking this unit, you agree to these terms.

You are responsible for all damages that occur to the property or its contents by you or any member of your group, individually or collectively, while you are the registered occupant of the property.

Any damage noticed upon arrival should be reported to the OWNER immediately.  If damage is not reported, your credit card may be charged for the cost of the repair.  All general maintenance should also be reported so the unit can be kept in good repair.  In order not to be charged additional fees, the following must occur:

·         a) No damage is done to the unit or its contents, including the linens.
